NanoCommerce 2004 Conference
Oct. 6, 2004, Chicago

An amusing Chicago based protest group T.H.O.N.G (Topless Humans Organized for Natural Genetics) recently staged what must have been a rather chilly anti-nano protest at the NanoCommerce 2004 Conference Oct. 6, 2004

What is THONG?

THONG supports and fights for:

Community gardens

Foraging

Wild ecosystems

Organic and Sustainable Agriculture

Indigenous peoples land and human rights

Fair trade organic coffee and chocolate and other mildly/at times strongly addictive aphrodisiacs

Degradable vegetable packaging

Hemp production and multiple uses

Beauty, (which is) lushness, diversity, the unexpected, the inspired

Humanenvironmentnature who refuses to be named, classed, categorized, jailed, silenced, repressed, stifled, drained, polluted, owned, and disappeared


Things that piss us off:

Genetic Engineering

The patenting of all life forms

Anything that drives a farmer to commit suicide

Bovine Growth Hormones, and other methods of human and animal substance abuse perpetrated BY corporations ON humans and animals and the environment

Gross tasteless food

Gross tasteless packaging containing gross tasteless food

Mass commodified stultifying diseases of the body and mind caused by gross tasteless corporate swill fast food crap
