There are already laws against property destruction but terrorisms laws

I am such a simple fool. The charge of terrorism is being applied to two
ladies who destroyed nothing but who protested the destruction of four
apartment complexes of low-income housing units. Residents say the brick
buildings are perfectly habitable, and accuse the city, the Housing
Authority of New Orleans (HANO), and Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
of a program of class warfare and racially motivated gentrification.

The four complexes, if demolished, would eliminate more than 4,500
apartment units in the hurricane-ravaged city so desperately in need of
affordable low-income housing.

Welcome to the new and improved America :-(

Unnecessary wars, domestic spying, the poor thrown into the streets,
price gouging on fuel and food. Good night America.

Sorry, this is the background of the charge.

This is the charge.

Garden-wise I seem to have run off, at least temporarily, the raccoon
that was ravaging my cabbage and lettuce patches. I think I grossed him
out by relieving my self where he was trying to eat. Then I think one of
my dogs damaged some of the potato plants when he relieved himself. He
likes to kick-up a little dust afterwards. The peas have gone toes up
but the green beans seem to have stabilized after the spat of hot
weather played havoc with their plastic mulch.


What I find is that folks I come in contact with every day family
included know not much about the issues real issues you mention.
How to get info out in a world of Murdoch ? I fall back to living by
example small images but some times a glimmer of change.

No one in my extended family has a compost pile. I'd guess heirloom
concept or open pollinated is not known either. Got to carry on
anyway ! Perhaps a family gathering where dinner is done but some items
are missing that can be culled in our back yard.

Bill scheming.
