It's one thing to have evidence that organic methods of farming can
work but another thing for some self appointed know it alls like Bill
and Charlie to suggest that people who disagree with them are
automatically unread. Those 2 argue as if they have seen one article
and are automatically organic experts. What kind of scholar goes
around saying if you didn't read my article you're unread?


They remind me of Chairman Mao who having read about intensive farming
had the whole nation plant everything too densely. Result?
Starvation.


Uhhh......James. What you state is not what Billy said.

BTW, there are people starving in Mexico because the U$ is planting
intensively to corn, and buying much of the world's crop of corn.
Interesting, isn't it?

It goes a bit like this, James.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond measure.
Your playing small doesn't save the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel
insecure around you.
And as we let our own light shine, we
unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."
~~~Nelson Mandela~~~

There are some of us, who will no longer play small, for your benefit.

There is too much at stake.

I doubt Billy appreciates you defend him. He might think you too feel
he's too stupid to defend himself.
