Glyphosate and the EU

Glyhosate causes cancer. This fact is more scientifically established
than the contrary. So I'll stick with it for the time. Apart from that,
all endeavour by the chemical industry to divert attention, and their
tricks to have modified but equally harmful substances accepted against
all reason does not serve their cause. The connection between cripled
genetically modified, transgenic and what not plants and the chemical
produce you are obliged to subscribe to at the same time is enough for
me to call them criminals. And that will not change.

As regards the EU, it was created as a means to regulate relations
between, first, France and Germany, then find a way to cope with the
dictatorships in the south of Europe which would lead to normal
relations between european people. This has been a marvellous succes.
On a wider scale, the peace that we have enjoyed for a considerable long
time in Europe, is due to the existence of the European Union.

When the Schengen agreements came along, I have been working in civil
air-traffic. And since that time, I am for the Brexit. Nobody asked me,
since. I leave an association, when I see no way to contribute to their
cause or when I notice that it was a mistake to join them in the first
place and all the others appear to be still content and enjoy
themselves.

I cannot condone the identification of the EU with economical or
financial interests (and I left a well-payed job for much the same
reason). If this is an error of people acting like idiots, we sure must
do something about it. But the EU is us ot them. Join *us* or let us be.
If you must complain, complain about the idiots, not the EU.

See recommendation 4:

non-professional uses of glyphosate;"

Better start stocking up now (unless we "Brexit"...)!
