TweetIm glad to hear that its on video. I'm going to check it out. Its comforting to know that the governments regulatory agencies, the fda and usda, have our best interests at heart...NOT!...Its all about $$$ and to hell with who dies
Tweetnow a rental, a documentary, an investigative news reporter wanted to know where his food came from, so he goes and does it
pretty fascinating, fwiw, i am in the process of processing it, i'm trying to take the tint out of my own personal rose colored glasses
off the top of my head it would go like this
a. born a republic, freedom is da word
b. things change
c. collectively big business makes big money and geenormous influence on policiy and laws
d. freedom was born out from the get out of influence of a few kings and ding dongs in charge
e. thru the business cycles and years wars are won and lost, yet, the impressions of the past are dominant to the person because what we factually see hear and feel is limited by 100 to a geenormous corp, or a man like buffett
f. in the end the reality of the world and how it really works is mis-understood by almost all of us, me included
g. i guess it would come down to something like, power, what is most powerfull, and powerfull forces and intentions
thus, an inability to take into reasoning and problem solving different power effects over time, and the goody and bady of things
if u see the flick u will get my gist
i've got alot of self splaining to do and thinking

TweetI have this coming thru blockbuster mail...looks interesting indeed.
Tweetthat's what i'm grappling with, it's more like $$$$=efficiences and how you achieve a profit, yet at the same time providing for 310 million people as opposed to 90 million
that translates to the world in general
one of the things we all know but maybe don't understand, how the world has gone from supporting 2 billion to 6.5 billion
Tweethere's another one i just watched
We Live In Public
another interesting enlightening documentary
TweetHoly cow. The world has gone from 2 billion to 6.5 billion? In what time frame did that happen? Makes one wonder how many of those are existing in abject poverty. And what is the result of having too many people? Will nature do something to bring the population to more manageable numbers? At the rate of these earthquakes, makes ya wonder. or maybe a cataclysmic war that eliminates a few billion people.
Is there a tipping point?
Tweetlast 50 years
about 50% still in poverty, nigeria 150 million people, rich in oil and some other natty resources still live on a buck or so a day, pakistan has like 180 million, there's something like 190 countries or so, so you got alot of pretty big ones
tipping point, ehhhhhhhhh, hard to say, i've read a few books on the issue, the number 9 billion is when they believe things start to get really really stretched, 12 billion a probable tipping point
what you don't know is ifluence of things, like the richer folks get the less they reproduce, and the effect of birth control and things like social pressure, china implemented a 1 child policy like 20 years ago because worry about providing for all based on there economic past, now they wish they had some more folks for cheap jobs
catclycsm is still the same, pandemics, why swine flue and sars gets huge immediate attention
