One Of My Very Own…

I thought that very funny.

And then there's this from my most trusted advisor:

:Your (and Bill Nye's) support for GMOs seems to consider only the health and safety of consumption. But there are huge ecological concerns. For example, a common GM trait is resistance to particular types of herbicides, such as glyphosate, so stronger herbicides can be used to control weeds without affecting crops. Herbicide exposure is toxic ("inert" ingredients in Roundup cause birth defects) even if the food crop itself isn't. Other GM plants produce their own insecticides, such as Bt toxin, to prevent pest damage and require less pesticide application. The effect of these GM traits on the local ecosystem is not well known but evidence of adverse impact is already being documented. Another ecological concern is the potential for GM traits to “escape” into other species by hybridization. This has been clearly documented in a dozen of the world's most important food crops. This is the major reason behind the EU resisting the planting of even a single GMO crop: once done, it can never be undone. We should exert the precautionary principle here simply because we would only discover errors after considerable and irreversible environmental damage.

This reminded me of something extraordinary I saw one time.



My crew and I were taking a drive around the countryside during a rain delay in mural painting and we came upon acres and acres of pallets stacked with bundles of small straight cyprus limbs about as big as your thumb and four or so feet long. There were, literally, millions of them.

So I pulled over and we all had a stab at guessing what the sticks were for, then I drove to a workman and asked him. He said that they were all used to create fake trees for Walmart. I asked how many they shipped out a week and he estimated a thousand pallets.

People make mistakes.



One of my bartenders had done some runway modeling and I asked her about this problem of going on display in brand new shoes she has never worn before. She said she insisted on having time to practice.

Then there are the mistakes made because you are just too lazy to do it correctly.

What are you going to say when your grandchild asked what you did to right the wrongs in your society?



Seriously. Ask yourself.
