Well, Naomi Klein wrote this article regarding genetically modified foods in 2001. I wonder if any of our foods have missed contamination at this point... Is there any organic seed left? Let us hope so.... or that $25.00 red apple that I talked about before could really be our fate!
Her article is very insightful!

SEEDS - WHITE GOLD!
Eating breakfast toast: a simple ritual to start the day. The bread probably came from a bakery or grocery store, but beyond that who knows where the wheat came from – never mind the seeds that grew the wheat. Do we need to know? A new documentary, “Hijacked Future” says yes, because those seeds that became the toast you ate this morning are being hijacked - right into a looming world food security catastrophe.
Catastrophe? Wait a minute. We see plenty of food on our supermarket shelves. Is our food security really at risk – or is this just scare mongering from the fringe?
While our industrial system of agriculture is providing abundance and variety today, this Global Currents documentary warns us that it’s an unsustainable system that will not be able to nourish and provide for us and our grandchildren in the future. It’s a system that literally runs on oil, from fertilizers and pesticides, to the trucks and planes that transport food. And the source of our food – seeds – is being hijacked by a handful of corporations from the farmers who have for millennia, grown and saved them.... more at above link... WHY DON'T YOU JUST THINK ABOUT IT?

Picnics in Middleburg, Virginia, when I was growing up were not laced with chemical additives or Bovine hormones, and we were not concerned about CO2 emissions, or politicians that were crooked. We were not concerned about the pollution that the fireworks put out... We did not have to think about an energy crisis. No, we celebrated America, land of the brave and the free... We were happy then, but naive! Picnics in Middleburg, Virginia, when I was growing up were not laced with chemical... more

Our world is being destroyed by only a few men. While the rest of us are struggling to survive, our politicians and religious leaders are manipulating their followers and creating wars. Our planet is angry and is starting to fight back. The Bush family has decimated the Middle-east because they covet their oil reserves. The religious leaders of the world have been brainwashing people for thousands of years by threatening them with damnation just to get them to do their dirty work. Our planet is a living planet. What happens when a living organism is threatened? It does whatever it takes to survive. Our planet will kill us if we do not correct our actions. Global warming is real, but it is only the beginning. In case you haven’t noticed there has been an increase in global disasters. If we do not reverse our situation we’ll have no planet left to fight for. For as long as I have been alive The Bush family has been manipulating and falsely befriending the Middle-eastern leaders, and starting bullshit wars in order to get a foothold in Iraq. ALL THEY WANT IS THE FUCKING OIL!! WAKE THE FUCK UP!!! They tell you it’s about democracy. Guess what? THEY’RE LYING TO YOU!! The Bush family has allied themselves with Saudi Arabia (a monarchy by the way) who has supplied a majority of the world terrorists. Gee, it’s almost like our government uses their terrorists to instill fear in the world in order to keep us down and out of the way. Every religion since the beginning of time has manipulated people with fear of damnation and eternal suffering in order to get them to fight and die for their god. Every religion has the basic concept of what is right and wrong. Why then don’t they practice what they preach? Because they are just as greedy as the rest of the world leaders. The more people you get to follow you the more powerful you become. The Catholic church, for one, has gone as far as torturing people into believing in their god. Isn’t it our choice to believe whatever the hell we want? Isn’t that what freedom of religion means? I for one am finished with all of the deceit and destruction. We as a people of Earth need to take a stand against those responsible for the turmoil in the world. WAKE UP, STAND UP and BE STRONG!! SAVE OUR PLANET!!! Sincerley Awake, SMR Our world is being destroyed by only a few men. While the rest of us are... more

The founders of the Turtle Island Project believe residents of Earth are facing a Kyros moment because of the abuse of the environment.
Kairos is Greek for seizing the moment.
The Turtle Island Project promotes respect for the planet, nature, wildlife and fellow humans.
Turtle Island Project founders say we can learn a lot from Earth-based cultures like the Celts and Native Americans.
Dr. Cairns said a former of chanting called jubilation (that he demonstrates in this video) helps him focus on the problems he wants to tackle - plus demonstrates the interconnection between humans and the Earth.

(Photo by Alex Dunne via Flickr)
CNET Reporter Martin LaMonica has a good write-up of the conversation. He states, in part, "Gore spoke from a location near his home in Nashville, Tenn., while Chambers was in San Jose, Calif., and the moderator of the event--ITN science editor Lawrence McGinty--spoke from outside London. People could watch over the Web and audiences listened and watched from the VoiceCon conference in Orlando, outside London, Warsaw, Dubai, and Paris.
The multi-location format drove home the basic point of the event: the Internet can help more people collaborate, something that is essential to solving the difficult challenge of climate change."

The potential this has is huge. Not only can this techology be used to network more sustainably, it will save and make profit in the long run and perhaps even open up contacts that otherwise would not have been made without this technology. This is one facet of technology that is positive... Opening up new avenues of vision to challenge us to make the world a better place. This kind of technology could even be used in private homes and in businesses where employees work from home.
I listened to the podcast of this event and I never would have guessed the participants were in different places. And I agree with Mr. Gore and the consensus that this crisis is solvable if we but only see the opportunities we have to leading the way in such technologies to show the developing world that they too have a place in the solutions... and that requires political will. Hopefully, that will come very soon.
