If you know someone who’s tumbling down the rabbit hole/honey pot of political activism, I strongly suggest, Endgame Volume 1 by Derrick Jensen.

Democrats in Oblivion
May 26th, 2007The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election […]

Is This What the Army Thinks of Us?
May 9th, 2007Via: cjrdaily: It looks like it’s official: the United States Army thinks that American reporters are a threat to national security. Thanks to some great sleuthing by Wired’s “Danger Room” blogger Noah Shachtman, the Army’s new operational security guidelines (OPSEC) hit the Web in a big way yesterday, and the implications they have for reporters […]
Organic Food Production Could Secure Global Food Supplies with Reduced Environmental Impacts
May 8th, 2007Here’s one for your No-Shit-Rocket-Science-Brain-Surgery file. The problem, of course, is getting there from here. Conventional farmers walk a fine line that is so close to ruin that it’s mostly unthinkable for them to switch to organic methods. They are under incredible pressure to perform because they often don’t own the land that they’re farming […]

Digging In: Britain’s Green Revolution on the Home Front
April 12th, 2007Once people understand the complex of issues related to food, the rest falls into place pretty damn fast. Via: Guardian: During the second world war the government famously urged every able man and woman in Britain to “dig for victory” – to grub up their flower beds and tear up their lawns to grow vegetables […]
The Right to Raw Milk
March 27th, 2007Excellent raw milk article. Via: Acres USA: ACRES U.S.A. Fresh or raw milk producers are having problems just about everywhere, such as in Michigan, where they pulled over a guy and destroyed his product and raided his house and took the records — and similar things have happened in state after state. I’d like to […]
A Kirkland Cafe with No Prices
March 24th, 2007This is so interesting to me. It’s an issue that hits very close to home… The article calls this an experimental business model. It’s more of a test of the consciousness index of a community, if you ask me. Can the tragedy of the commons be avoided? Cryptogon and Farmlet readers are demonstrating that it […]
