There is no viable alternative to revolution. The world can't wait for a truely benevolent politician to come through the modern sieve of corporate acceptability. Men and women of those sizes have been excluded by a much finer mesh in this century, those that have substance are excluded.
I do agree with much of what you say re" politics, I just keep a sliver of hope somewhere
in my head and heart, because there are some good people out there, but those people
probably don't want any part of politics. I'll keep hoping.
How is your garden this year? Mine's gotten mixed reviews but it'll feed the crew for the winter. In general farms and farmers have been hit very severely by rain here in Nova Scotia, the disaster word is being used, I spoke to a farmer this past weekend and he said " no one in this county will get grain off the fields except as silage and then only if we get two weeks of sun" much of the vegetable crops are unsalvageable as well and I think the situation is worse in PEI. It really is very serious.
We had a very slow start this year, as it was so cool in the spring, and anything planted
took far too long to germinate, the 'cow' hay and corn, I see in the big fields is not as high as it
should be at this time of the year, but, not too bad now, as we have had very nice
weather over the past few weeks. I had mediocre crop of pole beans, and my carrots,
are starting to get big now, but took so long, and I have lots of late potatoes, which
haven't shown any sign of dieing off at the tops yet, strawberries were very late, and
blueberries were very late, as well as raspberries, ( I don't grow those, but have checked
out some of the farms), our weather is great right now, so most of those crops should
catch up, and blackberries too, many of them are still ripening, so, if it stays warm, as it
is, they will keep ripening.
I love playing in the dirt.
