Re: CONFESSIONS

Thankyou Moira,

For your gentle, reasoned, yet eloquent reply to Fred Thompson's
"Confession".  Often, I'm asked these same questions in many different ways
by those who don't understand the warnings made by the organic community.
They view our approach as "wild-eyed doom-sayers". And perhaps, I've sounded
like that from time to time. The profit motive is so strong in U.S.
agri-business and petro-chemical companies, they are unable to see any other
goals, or care about any other results of their activities. Corporate greed
is rampant, while they support large advertising and public relation firms to
keep them looking good in the public eye.  Only investigation and education
that passes from gardener to gardener, then from gardener to friend can start
a ground swell of informed protest. And that is where you have been so
helpful.
I shall share your insights drawn from experience as well as research with my
classes. And I will learn from you to speak softly.  Thankyou.   Jan
