[chickwhispers]

My grandfather farmed during the depression.
Dad said that there was plenty of food, plenty of work, just no money. No way to buy seed or pay anyone.
Barter works for everything but electricity and taxes.

I need to quit having fun and go clean something.
My house is an elephant. I need to take a bite out of it somewhere.

Same here! Have a great day everyone!

He was! Funnily enough, his name was McDonald (as in "ol McDonald had a farm"). He was Scottish, a tough but fair man with a twinkle in his eye who always had a soft spot for his grandkids. He lived until he was 92 and died of a heart attack out in his garden. He was one of my hero's.

Wow sounds like a great guy.

Quote:
Right, Monsanto is no joke, they are striving for world domination. You know they are also trying to patent certain Cannabis strains as well. I don't understand how we as humans can patent a plant, we did not create the plant, how do we therefore claim ownership over it?

There have been patents on plants for as long as I can remember.
We have to pay royalties on patented plants that we propagate.
I do not mind that so much, there was cost and time involved in breeding a color or habit into a plant.
What irritates me is when they patent a plant that they did not breed.
If God made it, he made it for all of us, not just the people with the money to patent it.
That is just a greedy grab for all the money.

Now, I am going to go clean something.

Krystal, more please!
I like them!

The one about the guy in the BMW hits home.
I get so tired of people wanting us to cut off a dime here or a nickle there.
They have to be blind to not to see that we are struggling while they are bragging to us about their third home. ...-so why don't we cut off a dime for them?
Well, we need a roof on the old home that we are blessed to have I suppose.

We are not unworthy just because we work with our hands. We are not ignorant or uneducated just because we work with our hands.
We just love doing what we do, Without harming anyone or taking advantage of anyone.

No, no joke at all. There are evil forces in this world that want control over everyone's lives, for the sake of power itself or for the money. Monsanto fits right in there. I think the reason marijuana is being legalized in more states is because of the huge revenue it can bring in to the government. And if you can control what is grown, think of the potential monetary gain.

Agree!

He sounds like an awesome grandpa and man. Wish there were more like him now.

Google this ladies name, she does a lot of anti-GMO stuff, lol.

I LOVE Dr. Shiva! She is a warrior for truth and accountability.

They really, really don't!

This makes my heart hurt.

I'd be surprised if Monsanto didn't have a contract out on her. She's brilliant!

They know better, she is so outspoken if anything were to happen to her, the whole pyramid would crumble. Safest place for a truth teller is out in public and she shows no signs of stopping.

I have to share something my grandpa, a dairy farmer, always used to say,

"It's hard to starve a farmer."

He knew that 1st hand, he raised a family of 6 during the depression. If anyone needed a meal, they knew grandpa would feed them well if they would help him out with the farm chores. One of the best men I've ever known.

exactly. well said.


It always comes down to greed with these people. If they think they can take it, they do. Luckily, people are fighting back.

Ha, your preaching to the wrong person, we are in a legal state, the money is flowing in Colorado.
