Monsanto hates democracy because democracy doesn’t work for Monsanto.
Nine out of 10 of us want to know where Monsanto’s been hiding the GMOs in our food and a most of us wouldn’t eat those GMOs if we knew where they were.
If everything in this country were decided democratically, most of the food we eat would be non-GMO and Monsanto would be driven out of business.
We don’t have a problem convincing people we’re right, we have a problem with our democracy when we can’t get the politicians to pass the laws that the majority of us want.
But no government, no matter how corrupted by corporate money, will be able to stop us when we get the nine out of 10 people who agree with us to take action with us. And that’s what’s starting to happen.
Monsanto knows that democracy doesn’t work for them, so they’re not taking any chances with it. They’ll fight us at the local and state level when they have to, but when they get a chance, they’re going to take us to a place far way from the voters where it’s hard to hear their voices and where money talks very loudly: Congress.
This is what they did when the Center for Food Safety’s lawsuits started having an effect. Monsanto got their main man in Congress, Sen. Roy Blunt, to slip the Monsanto Protection Act into a spending bill that Congress had to pass to avoid a government shut-down. It was stuck in the bill at the last minute and it didn’t get a vote, but it became law.
We’re seeing the same thing now with the King Amendment . Rep. Steve King from Iowa got the House to include an amendment to the Farm Bill that says no state can put any condition on the manufacture or production of any agricultural product in interstate commerce. The debate on the King Amendment in Congress has focused on Prop 2, a ballot initiative passed by the voters of California that says farm animals should have enough room to spread their limbs and turn around, that’s why we’re calling it the Animal Cruelty Protection Act, but I was told by Hill staffers that Rep. King actually came up with this idea because of state laws regulating ethanol. The law is so broadly written that it could apply to anything, animal welfare laws, ethanol regulations, and certainly the laws we’re passing to regulate GMOs.
The Grocery Manufacturers Association also hates democracy. They’re working with Monsanto to fight Washington State’s ballot initiative to label GMOs, I-522, but we know from news reports that they’re also in DC, trying to take care of the democracy problem they’re having, with states starting to pass laws to label GMOs. They probably like what they see in the King Amendment, but the Farm Bill might not pass, so they’re working behind the scenes now to see what can be done in September when Congress is back scrambling to avoid a government shut-down again before their current spending bill expires on September 30.
What’s amazing is that Congress, as corrupted as it is by corporate money, is way too democratic for Monsanto and the Grocery Manufacturers Association. They’ll fight us in Congress when the have to, but they’d rather be somewhere we can’t get to, where voters are obsolete, where the corporations have full and exclusive access, where everything is kept secret from the public: international trade negotiations.
The Obama Administration is currently negotiating two huge new trade deals, one with Europe and one with countries around the Pacific , including Japan and Peru. The US position is that bans on GMOs, but also pre-market safety testing and labels, are barriers to trade. The person who’s negotiating this for Obama is Islam Siddiqui who used to be the Vice President and Chief Lobbyist for CropLife America — that’s Monsanto, Dupont, Dow, Syngenta, Bayer and BASF, that’s the group that sent a letter of protest to Michelle Obama when she planted her pesticide-free and GMO-free organic garden. Siddiqui is a political operator. He got is job with Obama by fundraising for Obama. Before working as a lobbyist for Monsanto and the rest, he worked for Clinton trying to get GMOs, sewage sludge and irradiation into organic.
Our movement stopped Siddiqui then and we can stop Siddiqui now! We can stop the Monsanto Protection Act and the Animal Cruelty Protection Act! We can stop Congress’s attempts to take away states’ rights to regulate food and farming! We can stop Sen. Roy Blunt, Rep. Steve King, the Grocery Manufacturers Association, Monsanto, Dow, Dupont, Syngenta, Bayer and BASF! We can do it by getting the 9 out of 10 people who agree with us to take action with us and by moving the fight away from Congress and international trade deals where corporate money is louder than the voters and get back to the state and local level where democracy can work for us. GMO Free San Juan made democracy work last year. We’re going to see democracy work here in Washington in November when we pass I-522! We’re going see democracy work in Oregon when GMO Free Jackson County passes its ballot initiative in May 2014!

Just a few things I don't appreciate in this world that I was able to convey through photographs. None are mine besides the middle picture. There was a whole lot of pretty gruesome photos I would have put up, but I considered each of your stomachs, and decided against it. With the exception of Harper.
Sadness is all I've ever known.
Inside my retched body it's grown.
It has eaten me away, to what the fuck I am today.
There's nothing left for me to say.
There's nothing there for me to hate.
There's no feelings, and there's no thoughts.
My body's left t fucking rot.
Life sucks, life sucks, life sucks, life sucks.
It has been fucking this way, since my fucking waking day.
To this fucking land of waste.
We're worked, erased, and then replaced.
Boredom has taken over my brain.
Chilled the blood inside my veins
Left me in this place insane.
All in sickness and in pain.
Life sucks, life sucks, life sucks, life sucks.
.
Life sucks, life sucks, life sucks, life sucksI hate my life, I hate my life, I hate my life, I hate my life
Dnt Just View Commnt plz !
I hate having this many SPs in a row...oh well. Been both too busy and too lazy, and yes that actually makes sense in my mind. :-)
So remember when I wrote under my birthday photo about needing to make money with my photography? That very same afternoon a woman called me who I had emailed with several months ago (she had put an ad up on Craig's list for maternity photos but it didn't pan out with me). She hired me to take "urban" shots of her and her husband and their 4-month old daughter this morning. It was great fun as they were a sweet and friendly family. The baby lasted two hours which blew me away and the morning was low humidity, sunny, and breezy. It was great to get to be creative with backdrops and do more than the standard baby toes. I think I could do more in that direction. I took over 300 shots this morning!
Life is funny, is all I'm saying.
Tonight and tomorrow morning I'm finishing an application for a Pennsylvania Council of the Arts Fellowship (deadline is tomorrow, but I work better under pressure).
We're moving forward.
(You can see this REALLY BIG if you'd like)
Just because I love you
It would be the best way for me to disappear
If I could hate you
I would be better off

February 19th, 2007:
I hate Monday mornings.
The weekend always goes by far too quickly and then I’m staring at another week of meetings, conference calls, number-crunching and all the other drudgery I have to go through just to make a buck. But this was worse than most Mondays.
Maybe it was because Friday, Saturday and Sunday saw the resumption of full workouts and training sessions -- after a week off from fighting off a cold and resting a sore back -- and all the muscles in my body were screaming at me. Maybe it was the more-than-usual morning grogginess – the after-effects of the bottle of wine I’d consumed last night, coupled with the last vestiges of the aforementioned cold. Maybe it was the fact that I only got five hours of sleep. Maybe it was all of these things. And to top it all off, I was just in a mood.
I really hate Monday mornings.

To protest hate speech and violence, community members in Mill Valley held large banners and signs over freeway overpasses.
One sign said ‘United Against Hate’, another said ‘No H8’. A dozen activists held those signs above the pedestrian walkway over Highway 101, off the Seminary Drive exit. They were seen by thousands of people driving into San Francisco.
This protest was in response to an alt-right rally, Patriot Prayer, scheduled to take place at Crissy Field in San Francisco on Saturday, August 26, 2017.
As drivers passed by the signs on their way south to San Francisco, thousands saw the signs, and hundreds honked their approval with our protest.
This political action was led by Peter Graumann and the Immigration and Civil Rights team of the Mill Valley Community Action Network (MVCAN), in coordination with Indivisible Sausalito. Join your neighbors to keep democracy alive!

Sorry to start the new week on such a sour note, folks . . . but I saw this today,
with a note saying "please share this if you still hate the NEW-Flickr . . ."
And ~ SORRY . . . BUT I STILL DO !!
If you are stuck with a slow broad-band speed, like under 5-mb/s . . it's appalling !!
Jerky pictures, tumbling around, all over the screen . . .
And they never stay still long enough to read the captions & comments . . .
Flickr. is almost un-usable, for professional purposes ...............
But I don't want the hassle of 'moving 5,000 photos' to another platform . . .
Now that they are safely archived HERE ~ and some of them have been, for more than 5-years............. and Pro-account holders are paying for this.........
Ever heard of "Breach-of-Contract", Flickr ???
