More evidence of our communal insanity...

There are options. We do not need all these pesticides to grow food. Continuing to foul our nest like this is insane!

Home-grown veg ruined by toxic fertiliser

And, of course, if the manure is contaminated, it's likely the animals are too. And anyone who eats food grown or raised on that farm.

The Other War

This other war is the war not to conquer but the war to become whole and at peace inside our skins. It is a war not of conquest, now, but of liberation, because the object of this other war is to liberate that dimension of selfhood which has somehow become lost; that dimension of selfhood that involves the capacity to forgive and to will the good not only of the self, but of all other selves. This other war is the war to become a human being."
Frederick Buechner
