Dominion

What does an astrophysicist know about gmos anyway? Probably nothing more or less than the general public. Yet Neil deGrasse Tyson's loyal followers believe every word he says. Tyson states, “I’m amazed how much rejection genetically modified foods are receiving from the public,” Tyson tells a French interviewer. “It smacks of the fear factor that exists at every new emergent science, where people don’t fully understand it or don’t fully know or embrace its consequences, and so therefore reject it.” This "fear factor" which Tyson speaks of reminds me of Albert Einstein's fear of a day when technology would overlap humanity. Truly this overlap has begun and not so much with food or gmos, but certainly with smart phones and human interaction. 
A lot of the debate in science is based on religion and ignores the fact that scientist often debate each other and come to different conclusion from their own theories and experiments. Again people don't want to see outside the spotlight. Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson have suddenly become the faces of science. Science has many realms, much more than just astrology and mechanical engineering. So when the followers of science believe every word from these two superstars of science, they themselves are truly not understanding and just accepting that and astrophysicist and a mechanical engineer can both explain all aspects of science as fact. This is simply not true. A woodworker may not be able to build a house and a carpenter may not be able to build a desk, yet the common person may think the duties are interchangeable because both use similar tools and methods to construct things. 
Many people choose to use resources as reason to debate an argument. Others may say, well you got your facts from someone who believes in aliens therefore nothing they say could be true, or you got your beliefs from the bible therefor nothing you believe is true. These assumptions are simple prejudice. We can all learn a lot from the people we disagree with and that has to be not only accepted but embraced and explored. If it were true that all actions from those whom we believe are not to be taken as fact then why are people accepting an astrophysicist who is host of a television show which is broadcast by fox, produced by seth macfarlane, and sponsored by corporations such as Chrysler and Samsung to know what he is talking about in regards to gmo?
It simply comes down to a multi sided argument in which all sides want to have the biblical control known as dominion. Just leave nature alone and nature will take care of you, or get rid of you. Either way is not wrong, if it is what nature does.

Our Own Fault

Take responsibility for your actions; past, present, and future. Give light to what you do not want to see so that you may understand it does not need to exist. Bring knowledge to what you do not want to know so that you may understand how it began.
We are all responsible for our past and present actions, and these actions create our future. We must stand up for what we truly want and not sit idle with the creations of our past.

Chemical Weapons, A Way of Life


I never thought I would make it to the age of 40. Now I am only two days away from my 40th birthday, and I still don't know if I will make it to the age of 40. Since I graduated high school in 1991 I have seen nothing but war. Kuwait, Iraq, Drug War, Iraq again, Afghanistan, now Syria.  Two days and I have no idea when the streets of New York will look like the streets of Baghdad with artillery on every corner just to protect any business that uses currency. 
We currently live in the hand of capitalist who line the pockets of politicians to obtain loopholes and status in a game of corruption. The best example of this is tom vilsak. tom has supported and pushed for many issues that support not just monsanto but many other agri-pharma capitalists. Now Tom sits at the head of agriculture in the united states by means of appointment from barrack obama. monsanto and agri-pharma may be best known for currently poisoning our food, water, and air, but just a few decades back they were known for bigger and better things. monsanto is the great creator of a substance that was transported in 55 gallon drums that were painted orange. The orange drums lead the substance to be known as agent orange. I'm sure many americans who fought in Vietnam either by will or draft still know this substance all too well. Many most likely still suffer the consequences even though VA may refuse to admit it exist. Many Vietnamese are still born to this day with debilitating birth defects caused by this poison killing everything in sight.
So obama wants to go to war over the use of chemical weapons, yet appoints the crony of the largest chemical weapons manufacturer to head of department of agriculture. I won't even begin to dwell on forced vaccinations, fluoride and chlorine in the public water, toxins in the air, the legalization of alcohol and nicotine, yet the illegalization of marijuana. It makes no sense and the American people are asleep to the shocking truth of these hypocrisies. 
It took the first black president to turn the Nobel peace prize in to a joke. obama has taken war and peace to another level of imbalance that may just wipe humanity off the planet, at least as a dominate species. And humanity losing its seat at the top is the only thing good to come out of this.
