Default Plants like asbestos?

Archie, you are the king of trash pile entropy!!!!

How many citations have you gotten for not cleaning up your yard and does
your excuse hold up in court? Your yard isn't filthy, you're just doing an
experiment in trash pile entropy! Maybe you're really the result of secret
government gene splicing experiments with a pack rat?

Do tell us more about your "Speck Theory" of the universe!

We all could use a good laugh! :-)

Not me.


I have eaten plenty of wildraspberries growing in manmade dump sites

abandoned.
I consider the entire plant as a screening or sieve of any trash in
the soil and that the berry itself is as clean and pure as one grown in an
organic orchard.

Now, your reply got me to thinking as to why perhaps raspberries love
trashpiles.

Consider entropy, the measure of disorder. And consider that plain dirt
soil at a given place or site is near to its lowest entropy.

Hard to believe that trash contains alot less entropy, a lot less

disorder.
And that trash and garbage contain alot of order and thus energy.
Trash such as plastics and glass and metal and asphalt and paper
and wax and discarded kitchen wastes.

And so, if any one of us were a plant, we would love to have that
supplemented into the soil around us because that more ordered energy
will be broken down and in the breakdown will nourish the plants.

Also, trash and garbage aerate the soil more than normal soil.

I believe that is some of the answer to the question as to whether plants
like trash and garbage put into the soil.

There should be some means of quantifying and researching the above
questions.

Hmmm, now why do I get an image of you in the picturesque wasteland of
your backyard in an old horse-trough bath wondering how much water you're
slopping over the sides while munching toxic raspberries and discussing
chaos theory with the resident critters.

Mr. Plutonium,
are you saying that you would never threaten legal action against
someone for what they say? Just curious.

Asbestos is a mineral, it comes from the ground, and you can put it in the

And it has been in the ground for a long time, not in a form plants can use
as nutrients.
Since it came from the ground, putting it back doesn't change it.
Probably would make a good drainage material for plants.
Note that fiberglass is not natural, but man made. It is formed from
natural materials. The asbestos is processed as it comes from the ground
like cotton yarn from cotton plants.

Henry I appreciate your comments. But I want to say something about
your humanity and my humanity in connection with being a scientist.
For I fancy that you consider yourself a scientist and I no doubt feel
myself a scientist.

My concern is that a scientist should never be stooping to the fear
of lawyers or lawsuit or the justice system. I feel that you should have
given your comments above but never have stooped to the add on of
the legal caption.

You see, Henry. I believe you denigrate and lower science and scientists
when you throw in this "fear of legal system".

I believe the internet and sci newsgroups in particular are far above
legalities.
In that if a scientist expresses his or her opinion that the legal system
should
never be invoked. Truth of science is far above legal systems in the world.
Science is far above lawyers, judges, courts and anything of the legal system.

I seem to have trouble saying what is on my mind about your caption. But
it troubles me to see any scientist render his or her opinion and then have
to end their thoughts with a legal warning.

Science is the single greatest truth on Earth. And I have often written that
Science is God and God is Science. Which is true in Atom Totality theory for
we are just a tiny speck of God itself which is one atom.

So, Henry, I appreciate your comments on asbestos. But I feel that since you
are a scientist, that you denigrate science itself when you end your Freedom
of Speech, your mind, your opinion with some legalistic caption.

To me, that is like entering church and praying to God and at the end add on a

legalistic jingo.

Science is freedom-of-speech. I do not like seeing scientists cobbled by legal

systems.
