As I say to my wife every morning - isn't the war on terror going well? This morning she finally hit me.
I don't know about the rest of the biotech industry but it's the lies told at the food end that really get to me. If you can think of one use of GE crops other than allowing farmers to use as much Roundup as they like - one useful application, one positive feed the world application - I'd love to hear it.
When I was growing up in Australia we used to occasionally drink Budwieser and wonder how it was possible for Americans to get pissed (here it means drunk) on it. How much did you have to drink of the tasteless sudsy crap?
Now that I'm older and with more expectations of beer than its booziness, I note that not once did Mr McClelland's article mention taste - only image. The beer I drink down here is brewed up the road, and its Pilsener (James Squire the brand) recently won the crown for the world's best pilsener. It's a bitter hopsy monster.
Never could have said that of any American beer I've tasted
But I'm sure that over there, just as here, there's a rising tide of micro breweries bucking the trend and brewing quirky flavoursome drops. Send some down.
A beautiful story and thank you for introducing me to Stuart Kauffman who has articulated beyond my ability to do so the thoughts I've struggled with for many years.
But while working on this reconciliation of the scientific and the spiritual I came to the conclusion that the nearest to what what Kauffman is talking about is what I came across in Indonesia, animism. Albeit a scientifically based animism.
