This piece by Richard Manning in Harper's Magazine back in 2004 is simply one of the best articles I have ever read. It is the clearest explanation I have seen describing the nexus between cheap energy and the global food supply. Read it and weep. Read it and think. Think hard. In the end it will all boil down to our ability to feed ourselves. If you are under the illusion that food comes from the grocery store you may not get this. The change is coming faster than we think. It is time to get to know your farmer. |

I hate to be paranoid but back to back stories in the mainstream media (New York Times and USA Today ) telling us not to be worried about nuclear bombs exploding in major US cities has to make one wonder. An 11 kiloton bomb destroyed Hiroshima and now the guys in charge are telling us an explosion this big in Los Angeles would be "a bad day" but don't worry, everything will be OK. Putting this on the front page two days in a row (December 15 and 16, 2010) makes me nervous. Are they getting us ready for something? Am I reading too much into this? Discuss.

Larry Rosebaugh Gunned Down in Guatemala--Presente! |
|
The first time I met Fr. Larry Rosebaugh he had come to visit me in the Washington, DC jail where I was locked up for demonstrating against Ronald Reagan's war policies in Central America. I had not met him before so when this "look what the cat dragged in" looking character was sitting across from me in the visiting room I thought it was a homeless guy who had heard about our protest. It was only then that I discovered I was in the presence of one of the most remarkable souls to ever come along. |
