we are the guinea pig generation for Roundup
and wide spread over the top use of so many things...
The Roundup discussions here have been a joke. At least I wish they were. All the enlightened ones professing their safety has been a source of a lot of humor.. read concern. How is it we can have people who profess to be educated be so blind? So willing to suspend all concern and just swallow what the manufactures say?
And that is not the only new kid on the block... Electromagnetic radiation. Anyone want to profess to know the long term effects of the latest craze? I would bet the same folks that would profess that Roundup isn't the cause of any of our ills would say our bodies are not effected by the stuff..
But it is hard to buy their 'look how much longer we live, how much more prosperous we are' line when in reality we are killing the planet and not even willing to acknowledge it. Something is extremely out of balance, and to say we "know" about a thing, as emphatically as those who profess there is no harm in Roundup do, seems to be way short of the mark.
And of course there are others.. we have a regular ol smorgasbord of new fangled environmentals to be concerned about. But as long as people are willing to buy the lines Monsanto and Bayer dish out who frickin' cares? As glassnumbers points out, the deed is done. The really sh*tty part is while I am an old man and can feel the end is nigh celebrating the birth of my great grandchildren, and looking in their parents eyes with all sorts of celebratory positives as I mask my concerns for what they really are being born in to.. is in so many ways a lie.
But hey, as my favorite local politician would say..
Don't worry. Be happy.
