Margaret McGrath, an associate professor of plant pathology at Cornell University, said the fungus is likely more of a problem for home gardeners and herb farmers who may not have access to fungicides that are available to larger commercial growers.

An interesting example of the slender thread that the “food supply” hangs on. Today basil; tomorrow who knows what?

PLINKY: One Thing I Learned Recently

Thursday, August 5, 2010

Campbell Ohio Open Carry Protest 2010

When presented with an unreasonable policy, don't get mad. Just non-violently ignore it. "They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me, then they will have my dead body. NOT MY OBEDIENCE!" — from the movie Gandhi (1982) spoke by Ben Kingsley <unsure if it's a real quote. might or might not. but it was true to his spirit imho.> Maybe it was my "Homeland Security" shirt that depicted a Old West posse that did it.

POLITICAL: Anti-war? BHO44 fooled you

Deaf, Dumb, and Blind
US Treasury is Running on Fumes
by Paul Craig Roberts, July 30, 2010

*** begin quote ***

If Obama cared about the lives of our soldiers, he would not have sent them to a war, the purpose of which he cannot identify. Earlier in his regime, Obama admitted that he did not know what the mission was in Afghanistan. He vowed to find out what the mission was and to tell us, but he never did. After being read the riot act by the military/security complex, which recycles war profits into political campaign contributions, Obama simply declared the war to be “necessary.” No one has ever explained why the war is necessary.

The government cannot explain why the war is necessary, because it is not necessary to the American people. Any necessary reason for the war has to do with the enrichment of narrow private interests and with undeclared agendas. If the agendas were declared and the private interests being served identified, even the American sheeple might revolt.

*** end quote ***

Americans had a choice of a true anti-war President. Ron Paul told them so, but they went the shiny young candidate sold by the media. Guess they’ll have to learn the hard way.

There are some strange dudes and dudettes putting stuff on the net. You have to wonder if they are escapees from the rubber room with too much time on their hands. Or, in this case “howda they do that”?
