It's a beautiful and slightly warm day for spring in Los Angeles. In fact it actually feels much more like summer. And the thought might occur in many that this warming trend could possibly be a result of global warming? Is it just me, or has the news lately seem even more ominous? Besides the ever bombardment of global warming warnings, and the deterioration of our enviornment along with our morals, there is also the ever present increase in gas price along now with the skyrocketing price of food.
This spiral up in the cost of living is now quickly turning into a dire crisis in many third world countries, who are now paying up to three to four times more for basic staples than they had just a few months ago. A violent and deadly example of this occured in Myanmar last fall when monks led non-violent protests against the soaring cost of fuel. And now there are reports that over the weekend there have been riots across Haiti, Egypt and Bangledesh over the steep increase in price of grains which have translated into as much as 120% rise in the cost of bread and rice. I bring this up because I've just finished a frightening but very interesting online article I found on vanityfair.com looking into the company Monsanto entitled 'Monsanto's Harvest of Fear'. Prepare to be scared.
