Why are these reporters being villified when they offer us so much meat to chew on? Is honesty of delivery not to be respected? How many articles do you see on all the indy sites moaning on and on and on about the perfidy of the mainstream press? Yeah, plenty! Yet here we have honest, consistent reporting of what's really wrong behind the scenes, yet people go moaning on and on and on about these people's desire to tell it like it is.
So much for unity - these reporters are one of our very best 'weapons' if we did but think about it a little more deeply than the kneejerk reaction of 'oh, they don't want violence so fuck 'em' mob. Through their integrity they shine beacons on very shitty places and people - either respect them for what they do for all of us or DO BETTER YOURSELVES!

pension plan farms

i think that haskins/blair want these massive ranch style farms to be answerable to know one, apart from their share holders and pension investors. These people will want to see a profit from their 'hard working' investments and what better profit than those acquired through GM crops. Farmers have brought alot of their present predicaments on themselves ie. right wing reactionary thought systems, lap dogs of the ruling class etc. but when it comes to the environment we all stand to lose, all except northan foods and share holders.
This will happen in the next few years and if we are not careful we will be able to visit even less of the countryside than we do now.
yours in unity
