Micah - why be alarmed? The widespread use of roundup in agriculture is a fact of life that we all need to know about - The tactics that the multinationals and their friends in ag research use to promote it we should also know about > am I understanding correctly that Roundup is used by some on this list? Yes! I use the stuff. I was under the impression that farmers in the process of converting were welcome on this list along with the pure and anointed! I will enjoy my life a whole lot more when I am free of the shackles of chemical agriculture! In the meantime I do what I think is the best I can to make a dollar and progress to better things. If you think I am promoting the use of chemicals then re read my posts 'cause I sure dont mean to! > Some of the posts seem to defend it a bit, unless I am confused here. I dont see this in any of the posts I have read! Micah -your last post worries me "I would rather touch lots of nasty natural things than man - made poisons like roundup." Its not difficult to get seriously ill or wind up dead from nasty natural things - particularly from smoke inhalation. Something that list members should all remember when making weed peppers! Nasty is nasty regardless of whether or not its natural. Cheers all Lloyd Charles
