Most people excrete it everyday, you may be different. Then you blend the technical language of chemistry with the common language that most people communicate in. Ever talk to a lawyer and notice that common words suddenly take on a different significance? Malathion has carbon to carbon bonds, which to a chemist means that it is an organic molecule. Talk to an agronomist, and they'll tell you that it isn't organic, because it doesn't occur naturally. The chemist and the agronomist are talking in two different technical languages, most of us don't speak technically without qualifying the framework in which we speak first. Organic 3. denoting a relation between elements of something such that they fit together harmoniously as necessary parts of a whole ---- This definition in your exposition seems to have escaped you, as you confuse the technical with the common. Good work on confusing the neophytes. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn3l....thirdworldtra veler.com/Zinn/HZinn_page.html Your usual nitwit response. He's trying to be helpful. Nobody's perfect like you I think it is not an issue concerning perfection but and attempt to live with a small impact on the world about. The question becomes why bother if we can do what we please with just adding energy in its many forms. However to a simple observer the energy cost (true cost) may not be sustainable so lowering energy into the equation of calories on a land commons or not matters. If the soil / land provides does it not behove us to try to aid the process ? Cover crops vs 5/10/10 and then there is a little matter of the web of life. Are we a part or just lost raiders . I favor traditional gardening practices and study that but fail often as the web of life can't be digitized. Still the lighting bugs are out in force and tomorrow a trip to Longwood gardens . Going to be hot but on the way home a offer of tea was offered. Longwood Gardens is only about 10 miles away. Years ago it used to be free but the government made them spend more of their endowment and when stock prices went down, they began charging admission. It will be very hot there tomorrow but it's worth it. |
