More Primate Torture at NASA

31-10-2009 17:14

NASA, since its inception has been a primate abuser. Now besides shooting
chimps and dogs into space to circle in the void alone until they die or blow up
in an obsolete Lockheed shuttle, the rogue agency, dominated by war profiteers, intends to irradiate primates. The agency has a contempt for public outrage..[/B]

The movie Project X was made about Dr Don Barnes and his refusal at Brooks Air Force
Base to do similar things.

Norman Borlaug, father of the Green Revolution, dies

13-09-2009 20:37

 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8253005.stm Story here and elsewhere about Norman Borlaug who was central to the so-called "Green Revolution" in the 1960s. It was about breeding high-yield crops (by natural cross-breeding, not genetic modification) to stave off famines caused by population explosion. I'm not really interested in celebrities like this in themselves, but I would like to know whether Indymedia readers think the Green Revolution was a good or a bad thing, in general.
