About Genetically Engineered / Altered "Food":
On the CBS program 60 Minutes 2, Wednesday Evening 8/7/2001 they reported that 70% of the food in our grocery stores is genetically engineered. Virtually everyone in the United States is eating some genetically engineered foods and without knowing about it. They (the food industries / Monsanto and other genetic engineering companies, etc.) slip this stuff into our food supply not only without asking us (the public) if it is what we want, or even if it's OK, but also WITHOUT EVEN TELLING US THAT THEY ARE DOING IT!
Why are they trying to do this secretively? What are they hiding? What don't they want us to know?
They started this about 6 years ago (1995) and now as more people are finding out about it and questioning what is going on, they are even fighting against having to label these substances (they call "food") that are genetically engineered / genetically altered.
Their position is that the public doesn't care, and say they don't see people "stampeding away" - - but the majority of the population is totally unaware of this!!!!! And, most people who learn about the condition of the genetically altered commercially grown "food" in the grocery stores begin to buy more and more "organically grown foods" and/or look for local farmers, or start to grow their own gardens - which is great for many reasons. This is what everyone should do, as well as to support Organic Farming efforts and put pressure on their congress people, etc. - to at the very least require informative labeling, if not - to get this &#%*%#! off the market. They operate on the premise that there is a food shortage. But there is not a problem of shortage, only of distribution. The real reasons are more obviously those of more production, more waste and more profit. And they will never do better than Nature has been doing and does. Everyone should do all they can to encourage and influence these companies and our government to forget about genetic engineering (for the most part) and quit wasting their / our money, time and health, and put that effort into growing natural (organic) nutrient rich crops.

"There is no need for GM (genetically modified) crops; no one wants them, not famine-stricken African nations, and very possibly, not even the biotech corporations themselves, judging from the spectacular cutbacks and spin-outs of agricultural biotechnology and major retreats from funding academic research over the past year."

About the use of pesticides:
"When the planes still swoop down and aerial spray a field in order to kill a predator insect with pesticides, we are in the Dark Ages of commerce. Maybe one thousandth of this aerial insecticide actually prevents the infestation. The balance goes to the leaves, into the
soil, into the water, into all forms of wildlife, into ourselves. What
is good for the balance sheet is wasteful of resources and harmful to
life." -- Paul Hawken, The Ecology of Commerce (1993)

You can gain ownership in a Solar Power Plant at NO Cost, plus considerable cash in your pocket (immediately) - all legally of course, and greatly beneficial to the country and everyone, as well as to you.

Something else EVERYONE should learn about -- to better prepare for the future
- - to better protect yourself -- concerning the massive money confiscation and illegal controls over the money, economies & governments of the U.S. and the world, -- an In-Depth, Critical History of Money & Banking - the root of most deceptions, problems, conflicts. The U.S. obviously went into Iraq under very questionable pretenses. Millions of people around the world are suffering and dying in many unjust, unnecessary wars, and from abusive governments. The least everyone can do is get informed as to just what is going on, and where most of the control exists:
Information about what is really going on in and behind the U.S. government.
Learn what is going on and what should be done in our government and our economy today from one in congress who knows and has the integrity to trust, who addresses the most important, core concerns in our society: the fraud, manipulations & control of the big money (central bankers) and the over extended power(s) of the government, the dismantling of the constitution, and sovereignty of the U.S.,
