    really?

    I thought GMO seeds were designed to grow only one season. So... if they've cross contaminated, wouldn't the damage be temporary?

    Marcellus Corporation
    I have seen this sort of filtering from Industry with regards to the Marcellus in PA. Previous propaganda described a drilling fluid component as "biocide" which was changed to something innocuous after some vetting within the academic community. It is disheartening to know that our expertise is enabling the misconception. Good luck tonight!

    Reagan was rather selective in his support of unionism
    I think it's a bit of a stretch to suggest that Reagan's support of the Solidarity union in Poland and time as head of the Screen Actor's Guild were evidence of a belief in the labor movement in general. Reagan and his cabinet were all too happy to support independent unionism in the Warsaw Pact nations - the administration was full of ideologues devoted to "free market" capitalism and its war on communism abroad and the labor movement at home. And you've dramatically understated the significance of Reagan's firing of the air traffic controllers in 1981. The Reagan Admin intended to send a very loud and clear message to its clients and the rest of us that there was indeed a new sheriff in town. It not only destroyed PATCO, it marked a very significant turn in the war on the labor movement. It was a historic moment for corporate capitalism. This wasn't just a "blot" on RR's record, it WAS his record on labor. It appears to me that Walker and others want to tread the same path and have been surprised to find that the wonderful folks of Wisconsin believe in the practice of democracy! I'm hoping we Californians can learn some lessons here. Regards from Petaluma, Chris

    Reaching the AP to complain
    I reached a guy at the local number above and told him the number of counter-protestors yesterdays was dramatically over-stated. Here is their national number too: 1-212-621-1500

    the number for the AP
    Seems that the voice mail is not accepting messages. The referral number that I was given by AP is 414-225-3580 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              414-225-3580      end_of_the_skype_highlighting if you wish to speak to a person in person.
