[Biofuel] Paraguayans 'ill through GM crop pesticide' - 24 Aug 2008
Scores of Paraguayan say that they are being driven from their communities by pesticides, but the government denies the claims. Al Jazeera's Lucia Newman reports from San Pedro del Norte, Paraguay where locals are complaining that mass spraying of toxic chemicals on genetically modified crops near their homes is making them ill. video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKCqmuu5sag ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainablelorgbiofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (70,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/

Dear Doug, I see you bought into Al Jazeera's headline. What is the Connection between the crop being GM and the harm caused by the pesticide?

[Biofuel] Jonathan Swift quote
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: For in reason, all government without the consent of the governed is the very definition of slavery. -Jonathan Swift, satirist (1667-1745) Understatement of the day: We have a lot of work to do to restore our Constitution get our country back into the hands of we the people. Washington DC seems to be completely detached from the idea that they're there to serve and enhance public good. Examples abound: forced vaccinations routinely spying on all citizens huge corporate bailouts war or threat of war on all who disagree with Washington neglect of infrastructure corporate tax cuts weakening of environmental protection totally insufficient healthcare of military returning from mid-East wars irradiation of food sludge pesticides used on crops aerial spraying of populated areas rigged elections extremely expensive healthcare plus total emphasis on drugs for all ailments media used as propaganda tool no bid contracts huge prison population (#1 in the world) ad infinitum -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Biofuel] E85 Networking works!
I posted a message to both of these lists complaining about how I had such trouble buying ethanol 85 fuel on Friday. Well, I'm not sure who my benefactor is but it had to be someone on one of these lists named Robin who got in touch with Greenfield Ethanol and I got a call from them today saying that I could get ethanol in research quantities from them. Or a tanker load! Whomever you are Robin, I thank you and that was one hell of a great birthday present!

Most studies have found that use of pesticides with GM crops goes up, not down as promised by Monsanto et al.
