Seeding Fear

[Gregg]

Here's a link to Neil Young's latest Monsanto bashing project. Its a ~10 minute video. I live in farm country so Monsanto is kind of a poster child for everything that's wrong with agriculture in my world. Besides, its Neil Young. I've been a fan since I bought my first copy of Harvest sometime back in the 70s.

I enjoyed that. Thanks Greg. Another Neil fan here.

As a side note, I just learned of the DARK Act which has just passed the House as supported mostly by conservatives. It would prohibit individual states from requiring GMO labeling. Seems a little ironic for a group that typically endorses state's rights and decentralization.

Their "state's rights" posture is just that; you can't take them seriously. Chris Christie will take us back to marijuana prohibition, and all the rest of them are ready to ban abortion--women's sovereignty be damned--even though progressive states have overwhelmingly voted in favor of both. They're very elastic on "rights," where the ordinary, non-billionaire citizen is concerned. The theocrats among them scare me the most: Huckabee (forced birth, courtesy of the National Guard) and Santorum (who wants to outlaw birth control) don't even pretend to dissemble on that issue.

I will have to watch this tomorrow but fellow fan here. He was my first concert, I was 13, it was when he had all the giant mice on stage, 80s. My wedding dance was Harvest Moon. He's just such a stand up guy, even when really in the minority, I respect him for that

You know, Neil has a really nice MTV style video of his Harvest Moon song. It's gotta be one of the best music videos I know of, but I'm sort of an old schmaltz. Nothing to do with climate change. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2MtEsrcTTs

Aww, thank you so much! love it! it's the perfect style for that song
