True. But it's also true that all of a sudden things change, when the time is right and a critical mass gives birth to a mass movement. Before TV exposed what the war was like in Vietnam, it was unpatriotic to be opposed to war. Why, I myself said from the start: I will support our president. Give us both guns and send us to the front and I will stand right behind him. Of course he never did go, and I was kind of busy myself.
Monsanto will lose their biotech investmente and the stooges that have played footsie with them will be out of power. Just stick around (and plant more seedling trees). This stuff will all be broadcast. The focus is already there and the bedclothes are too dirty to come clean. The shirt will hit the fan and I don't mean shirt. This will happen, but will not solve our problems. We will have to do that ourselves.
Know anything about phytohormone homolog producing soil micro-organisms? It seems to me that there has got to be a relationship between a healthy soil flora & fauna and an absence or reduction of soil pathogens & pathogenic activity. This is basic stuff, the kind of thing sustainable agriculture is founded on. But I need data for substantiating that, so I can get a project funded. It turns out the scisoc is by subscription and isn't cheap. From where I am, CABI would be a better bet. I've used CARL and Uncover for BioMed stuff, maybe they're good for this type of thing too. The Wallace Institute does this kind of research. Misha is good at this type of thing, but will she look into it after calling her a girl some time back? (It turns out that's not acceptable any more. See, times change Sal, like I told you).

Non-governmental organism. They can either represent the public interest or a special interest group; i.e., be a front for a commercial interest.
What does IMHO stand for?
