Please read this whole thing. There are some valueable suggestions contained.

What passes for political discussion on this list has its genesis in 
how we are lied to about our food supply in the US and how that 
affects the world. Recent events have broadened this discussion, but, 
as long as we have people who maintain that, for example, pasteurized 
and homogonized milk are good for you, an effort must be made to help 
people become aware or remain aware that governments are not working 
for the good of the people they govern. Awareness of the world as it 
is and not as we've been enculturated is an important aspect of the 
awareness necessary for being a good biodynamic farmer.

Jane - Isn't there a possibility of opening more discussion on Global 
News itself? It's the spiritual perspective of political discussion 
that BD Now! is unique in providing. It w.b. great for me if that 
could be maintained and discussion occur on Global News instead of BD 
Now!

Secondary to this, however, are the low level of biodynamic posts 
made by people who want to complain about what other people want to 
talk about. If you have nothing informational to contribute, how 
about starting topics or asking questions? Better than making 
on-topic noise for the sake of noise, howabout posting a review of a 
biodynamic book or howabout posting some segments from a biodynamic 
publication? In that fashion you can increase the signal-to-noise 
ratio yourself and not feel so at affect of what people are concerned 
with how global fascism may affect their ability to farm in the near 
future.

I'm serious: get out the scanner and send up a page or two of bd 
stuff you find of interest or would like to discuss. Copyright law 
offers a fair amount of leniency for educational use of printed 
materials, so you don't have an excuse.

Drown us in content and keep the archives interesting for the next guy.
