Maui GMO Initiative, herbicides and the Rainbow Papaya
What is the Farming Ban? The Maui GMO Initiative, herbicides, and the Rainbow Papaya: Explained
No one on Maui, other than Monsanto, currently is growing genetically modified crops, specifically because it is copyright infringement to grow their crops. Therefore, the initiative would not impact anyone not directly working for Monsanto.
Importantly Douglas believes that CAMCFB is lying about the threat of job losses, because “they [Monsanto] can always switch to growing hybrid seeds.” Douglas added “that now that China and Russia have joined Europe, Australia and New Zealand and much of the rest of the world in banning or limiting GMO’s, the market for GMO crops has peaked.”
…Most modern GMO crops have been engineered specifically to be resistant to Glyphosate, so that the crops can be protected from weeds by spraying the whole field with Glyphosate.
According to some studies housed in the US National Library of Medicine, Glyphosate has also been linked to Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in occupations that deal with spraying Glyphosate, and to breast cancer, due to its impact as an “endocrine disruptor.” One study suggested that Celiac Sprue (or gluten intolerance) could possibly be a direct result of contact with Glyphosate.
….The nearby Leilani Estates were filled with “acres and acres of papaya.” One person there told him that the trees there had stopped producing, also because they had been impacted by pollen drift by the Rainbow Papaya. He also learned that the farmers had been told that they would have to pay for whatever papaya they produced. This is because the gene strain of the Rainbow Papaya is actually trademarked, thus making any Rainbow Papaya the intellectual property of the industry.

Holder and Obama, breaking the racial barrier as the nation’s top two law enforcement officers
As Obama Administration officials go, Holder is one of the better stand-outs.
Far from perfect, IMHO. Some of the stuff he gets a lot of praise for seem a little, well, um, part of his freaking job but again, that’s just in IMHO.
He’s better than a lot of them though. I appreciate that.
And being the guy who breaks that barrier is an accomplishment in itself, and not an easy road at that. I get that and I’m black these barriers have been smashed.
Now on to Justice System reform and restoring lost progress on civil rights.
Hey… One can dream, right?

PA is blaming a woman for her own rape
The state attorney general has listed the victim’s “contributing behavior” as a defense in a federal lawsuit.
How delightful. How do you suppose Kane would feel if this happened to her? I’m not saying anyone deserves to be raped or should be raped but if a woman is basically wearing a strap-on and partaking in the penetration herself she is so culpable in the continued sexual harassment (and yeah, victim shaming counts) of another woman? Well, she better fuck hope karma isn’t coming for her.

Get a grip and stop reinforcing this fake bullshit you fucking tools of the patriarchy.

The Daily Show and the Best Damn News Team
Truthfully I don’t get my news from The Daily Show or the Colbert Report.
They might highlight a story I’m not seeing very much of but as general rule I’m not getting my news from them.
I’m getting my, “Oh, thank gawd I’m not the only who thinks that shit is fucked up,” from them.
I’d wager most people who actually claim to get their news from Comedy Central are doing the same.
