We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

“We often think of peace as the absence of war, that if powerful countries would reduce
 their weapon arsenals, we could have peace.

 But if we look deeply into the weapons, we see our own minds- our own prejudices
fears and ignorance. Even if we transport all the bombs to the moon, the roots of war
 and the roots of bombs are still there, in our hearts and minds, and sooner or later we
 will make new bombs. To work for peace is to uproot war from ourselves and from
the hearts of men and women.

 To prepare for war, to give millions of men and women
practice killing day and night in their hearts, is to plant millions of seeds
of violence, anger, frustration, and fear that will be passed on for
generations to come. ” -Thich Nhat Hanh

Some GMO Cheerleaders Also Deny Climate Change

  "GMO Opponents Are the Climate Skeptics of the Left," declares the headline of a recent piece by Keith Kloor in Slate. The argument goes like this: Just as certain conservative writers flout science by denying the urgency of climate change, there are progressive writers—he named me as a prominent example—who defy an alleged scientific consensus by criticizing the genetically modified crop industry. We're hypocrites, the charge goes, because we thunder against the denial of good science when it comes to climate, but indulge in denialism when it comes to GMOs. READ MORE>>
