    Glysophate is “probably safe”: this is why we ban it. No wait, it’s really hazardous, but no official will stand up with a study and say so. Which is how we know it’s proven dangerous, because they won’t admit it?

    Ah, science at it’s finest. Or today’s science for hire, anyway. You can prove all the results you want, but they’re not “real” but “political” if you’re crossing the wrong people–in addition to losing all funding, and, as farmers have found, being sued into bankruptcy. On the other hand, innuendo is scientific proof if it’s in someone’s interest for it to be. –We’ve seen this recently with the cholesterol evidence and the quiet re-issuing of the USDA food pyramid. (P.S., even with recent developments reversing beliefs that cholesterol is bad, drug companies are still releasing a profitable new anti-cholesterol drug for daily use.)

    Facts: Before its branding as an herbicide, glysophate was developed and used as a highly successful boiler cleaner. Its function is to strip metals out of solution, which it does in a boiler, or a plant, or a body. Not claiming to be an expert, but removing key metals from one’s cells sounds somewhat dangerous to me. It is registered in the U.S. “as safe as water” without any science supporting that claim–none, not even hack science. This would seem unlikely as it is the world’s most successful poison. In 2015, a Monsanto spokesperson repeated that “it was safe as water”, whereupon the reporter said he had some in his bag if he would like to drink it on camera. His exact reply was “No…I’m not stupid.” Many such Monsanto products are banned by their own cafeteria, which also seems odd.

    However, the point here is about science, which seems to be of two minds about a very simple question. It will not state the truth and simply list the evidence and the predominant, easily-reached conclusion. Could science be influenced by money, by profit, or by well-financed agendas that would drive out inconvenient facts, studies, and researchers? You be the judge.

    It looks like the people in the Beppe Grillo article are men (at least I don’t see one woman), probably most of them “economic” immigrants, and they’re going to receive $1,050.00 Euros/month to live on. Not a bad haul. If they lived four or five together, they could probably send a good chunk of that back home. So the citizens living in Europe their whole lives get to live on dog food or be thrown out onto the street, while the new immigrants get to live better than them.

    They’d better build a bridge (if they want to save lives) because once you reward people for their behavior, they won’t let you down. Better make that several bridges.

    It’s sort of ironical, isn’t it, that Europe takes out Gaddafi and ends up with Africa.
