We use mitochondria-the spelling is wayoff-a bacteria as an essential of digestion.

Entrepreneurs, those who need to establish their difference from the rest of us through accumulating material things, are killers-of the planet and sometimes of people rude enough to get in their way. The irony is their struggling up the greased pole of success is psychotic. Nothing they do can make them different from the rest of us.

We must stop playing gotcha with our mother earth. It’s hurting her, and she’s telling us to stop. No better place to stop than with a spraying that’s politically motivated, that’s already hurt people, and that’s unnecessary because the “pest” is already firmly established in the ecosystem.

Thanks, Kirk, great post.
