Wow! That's quite the US military history lesson. If all U.S. citizens
were better informed of their world doings things would certainly be
different. But, this is not the case... and the U.S. media industry should

Being a Canadian, we look at American's with our own cultural bias. While
we like to think that we are different then you (better, wiser, and nicer),
we are more alike then not. Most Canadians will not admit this, but I have

All,
Of course not! Transformation of forests to agriculture has been a
disaster all over the world. This is because industrial agriculture
systems are slaves to chemical and genetic industries. Thanks to Monsanto,
and others... Forests converted to chemical agriculture is the main thing.
Dear Philip,
Sustainability is a question of values. Which values humans choose to
sustain is both subjective and arbitrary. As such, it should be known that
is practically impossible to sustain all values as often we face tradeoffs.

It is difficult to advise based solely from the soil test numbers below. A
better soil test is by looking at the performance of plants, and searching
for macro-and micro-organisms (worms are the easiest bioindicator). A pH 7

In my region, it is also the time to celebrate the cosmos and its plant crop
