Backyard Aquaponics

Umm, maybe I should be changing my auto-signature?

[something by Albert Bartlett, methinks...]

What's wrong with "Bucky" ???

15% more milk according to Bucky is 'Better' so Monsanto haven't even reached too much being 'Just Right'
also
Bartlet certainly seems pertinent to this thread (yeah I had to look him up... not so good with scholarly things or people's me)

Watch these videos Kuda.... viewtopic.php?p=160971#p160971

Wish I could... damn internet is capped. cbf waiting the 45 mins to download. Incidentally, that's why I didn't check out the videos when you initially posted them
between DW and PB* I hardly ever have uncapped internet

*PB = Paying boarder.

Pity. Proves Albert Bartlett's point of view beautifully....

An interesting report concerning GM Canola trials in Australia...

ok so now that it has been proven that GM does not increase the yields how do they use that land for non GM and avoid contamination? Or is GM contamination unavoidable?

Professor Al Bartlett talks reminds me of experiments done with rats called "Rat Utopia" and "Rat City". It led him to write "Population density and social pathology" published in 1962 in Scientific American.
The researcher gave the rats everything they needed to be healthy and well fed- the only thing he didn't do was remove any of the rats from the cage as the population grew. As personal space became less and less and the constant stress from more and more rats in a confined space, the researchers began to see unusual behavior- more fighting, good mothers now abandoning their young or worse killing them. As the stress grew even more, there were miscarriages, violence against females, homosexuality and rat packs roving around, attacking and even killing others, even canabalism. In the end, disease broke out and killed all of them. They were very tramatic experiments.
Some say that human society will not reduce down to these levels; that we can reason better than animals. I tend to disagree- our basic instincts are animal by nature. In China, during their severe food shortage, some parents resorted to eating their own children.

I think Fuller may have been colloquially referring to the 'maximum power point theorem', which seems to occur in nature as well.

Yep, I the majority of people do not apply much reason to anything. Well, other that to say "I want it therefore I am getting it"...

Monsanto strikes again... but this time there's a reaction... not just from some people... but from a nation...
