Dear Allan, I have to agree that the republicans are far worse than the democrats. Both are very bad, however. Why not have the worst so the problems with their agenda come to light more readily? Learning what I only suspected a week ago--that the World Trade Center debacle was inspired by our own government, and that the Bali bombing was too? I just didn't encounter the evidence any sooner than this, that's all. I suspected it from the first I heard of both events, however. I can't say I have placed much trust in any of our leaders except, perhaps, Jimmy Carter. But we know the US and Israel have perfected the manufacture of what were called tactical nuclear warheads. These were also called battlefield nuclear warheads. Small bombs such as were set off under the Trade Center and in the storm drains in Bali. I know from my scientific studies it only takes 10 kilograms of plutonium to go critical. For Uranium 235 fifty kilograms are needed for critical mass, a lot more fissionable material, a much bigger bomb. When the Israelis tested their bomb in the Negev Desert the seismic spike was small enough that there was debate whether they had really tested a nuclear weapon or not. Of course nuclear weapons of this sort are the logical way for Israel to go with their nuclear program. I don't know of any other countries besides the US and Israel that have perfected this sort of weapon. As a biodynamic farmer I apply Rudlof Steiner's homeopathic agricultural remedies to my farm and I grow corn as a soil improvement crop without fertilizers. I'm harvesting carbon dioxide and nitrogen out of the air where they are abundant. My main input is my tractor and diesel fuel, and the remedies are homeopathic and applied radionically so there is no "using them up" to worry about. You can ask anyone who has seen it what my soil is like--it's teeming with life. Although Georgia has had a long string of drought years I quit using my irrigation equipment long ago as I have discovered how to make rain. It's cheap and effective and the last eight years I have had adequate rain for free out of the sky for all my crops. And it's not a miracle, I can teach people how to do it. I'm giving a rain making seminar out in Santa Fe, NM the 22 and 23rd of November, courtesy of CHI/Bioneers and Kenny Ausubel. I'm hoping farmers here in Georgia will pick up on this and organize some courses here. I do this for a living, and I'm totally immersed in it. Cleaning up our environment PAYS, rather than costs. It's pollution that costs. I get all my nitrogen fertilizer out of the atmosphere for FREE. It's biological and abundant. Other farmers are paying through the nose for it, and in the process destroying their soils and the environment in general. Out in the sandhills of Nebraska the nitrate contamination of the aquifer is so bad farmers sometimes joke they don't use fertilizer any more--they irrigate. Of course, they still have to pump from the aquifer, which is not as cheap and nowhere near as good for crops as making rain. For me doom is boom, and if it means letting republicans get in office everywhere so the bankruptcy of their agenda comes into full view? I'm for it. Elect the bastards. But I'm not wasting my vote on them. I'm voting GREEN at every opportunity. GREEN is where the real difference lies. And when GREENS get in office we can make a REAL difference since good environmental policy and good government is cheap and efficient. It's the only thing that makes sense. I'll admit to voting for democrats too. I'm especially itchy to vote for Max Cleland, our Georgia dem senator who voted against Bush's war. They are out to get him--smear tactics and real underhanded stuff like putting his phone numbers in their smear ads telling people to call him and protest his stance on a certain education bill so his phones will be tied up. There really aren't many Greens to vote for, but we need votes for Greens badly so we reach critical mass to gain automatic ballot access. Right now you have to vote Green by write-in. Not good. Well, enough said. Best, Hugh Best, Hugh Lovel Visit our website at: www.unionag.org
