The message
from "Tumbleweed" contains these
words:

LOL. Flame coming :-) I'd really like to understand on what basis
anyone
can
call such a toxic mixture of chemicals 'organic'. Whats 'organic'
about
it,
precisely, other than the bizzarre fact its in an 'organic' catalogue
for
historical resaons? Is that the definition of organic now?
And ...'Just wash the fruit well before using'? What about all those
ads
decrying pesticides and complaining 'why should I have to wash
chemicals
off
my food before I eat it'?

It's there largely because no better remedy has been found.

In any case, the word 'organic' has been hijacked to mean something
else
entirely. Any growing thing is organic, whatever nutrients or *icides
have been used on it.

It's about time we reclaimed it before it goes the way of 'nice' [1]
And of 'sophisticated' [2]
And 'Prevaricate' [3]

And 'gay' [4]
And 'gender' [5]

[1] exact, precise, to the point. Often used to mean pleasant by those
who are not nice.
[2] Adulterated, deceitful
[3] To lie, dissemble, evade by deceit (When 'procrastinate' is meant)

[4] Full of, or disposed to or indicating mirth
[5] Grammatical classification of two (or three) classes of objects
occasionally corresponding to the sexes and sexlessness

To wit, in German, all girls are sexless.

To woo, they are not.

Your best so far.
