Hey,
I like the comments. Especially the open-source analogy.
What I'm getting at is the double talk in marketing. Marketing is full
of oxymorons and tautologies. Look at "virtual reality" or "color safe
bleach."
I'm curious. How do the laws deal with the sources of organic
fertilizers? Is it OK to ferilize an organic garden with "inorganic"
vegetables? Is cow manure and such checked for bad stuff that will
end up in the organic vegetables?
My point is that when marketing uses oxymorons and tautologies, they
are saying nothing. Many marketing people could care less as long as
they make a sale. Look at "no pesticide detected." What does that
mean? How sophisticated was their test? Did they use their eyes and
nose or did they use a pesticide-o-matic pesticide detector?
Don't get me wrong. I don't like subjecting my body to these poisons -
- personally I don't drink, use alchohol, and avoid drugs (prescription,
non-prescription, and recreational.) I grew up on a farm. We ate our
own stuff. Drank water from a spring. But even spring water can
contain nasties like arsenic or cadmium.
