Well after more than a year without posting – here goes! As per my habit, this post is in reference to an article I just read. And equally as usual it is from the Wall Street Journal – it is from the WSJ’s “random” section on the bottom of the front page. The article is [...]

Food Inc.
Posted in Culture, Environment on January 25, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I just saw this documentary a couple weeks ago. Have you seen it? If not, you should. Jana and I joined an “ethics of food” group at our church a couple years ago and learned much of what the movie had to say, and we’ve been buying grass-fed beef ever since (along with other ethical [...]
Changing the language
Posted in Environment, International, Politics, tagged climate change, Global Warming, indoctrination, jobs bill, Obama, stimulus on September 17, 2010 | 5 Comments »
I just read an article today about a white house effort to replace the term “global warming” with “global climate disruption.” It’s interesting to me how the Obama administration has attempted to direct language in the last two years, and how it has been very sensitive to certain terms. For example, “stimulus” has been replaced [...]
Georgia Man Fined $5000 For Growing Too Much Food
Posted in Culture, Environment, Miscellany, Politics on September 16, 2010 | 5 Comments »
Georgia’s Channel 2 reported recently that an organic farmer in Clarkston is being sued by DeKalb County for having too many vegetables on his property, a violation of zoning laws. The man, Steve Miller, is a landscaper who, according to the report, gives his vegetables to clients and friends and occasionally sells his produce at [...]
I’m looking for some common ground…

I am absolutely seething about the oil leak in the Gulf. I don’t know if the gravity of this situation has sunk in with people. I also don’t have the time right now to research and explain the ecological consequences, but I would assume that I’m addressing a smart enough audience that I don’t need [...]

A friend of mine just sent me a link to this article about a new bill being passed through congress that would make it illegal to grow your own food. Senate Bill S 510 includes the following language (from section 101): Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) to deem a food to [...]
Credit Where Credit Is Due
Posted in Education, Environment, Politics, tagged Obama, Race to the top, windfarm on May 3, 2010 | 1 Comment »
A couple things lately have piqued my interest about President Obama. The government okaying wind-farms off Nantucket… which had been stalled for nine years (mostly, as the story is told, because Ted Kennedy and other hoighty-toighties didn’t want their vacation home views interrupted). Good work to Obama to forge ahead despite that view held by [...]
Too Many Accidents
Posted in Economics, Environment, Politics, tagged BP, capitalism, Deepwater Horizon, government, Massey mine, Regulation on May 3, 2010 | 1 Comment »
A while back I wrote about Toyota and the question of whether the free-market may have failed in regulating itself by the presence of the safety failures that occurred in their cars and trucks. And now we are facing back-to-back tragedies with the mine explosion in Virginia, and now the BP oil-drilling rig explosion in [...]
Plastiki You Say

Ran across this post today about a boat made from 12,500 plastic bottles. Very interesting to say the least. Check out the post to read more, and view the video below for a trailer about the project. Added bonus… the guy who made the trailer and is on the boat filming has a film company [...]
Stop Having Kids?

In full disclosure, I am about to make some broad generalizations here, so if you feel maligned by what I say please don’t hesitate to let me know in the comments and we can hash it out. That said- I recently ran across a Facebook group called “Stop Having Kids“, which led me to “Global [...]
