Rhetoric? No. Quite simple, the provision of sustainable agriculture to those in dire need thereof is the number one problem on this planet. Extremist fanatics that demonstrate their desire to reduce global populations by destroying any possibility of progress, are as responsible for the results of their actions as the warlords who derive their power from poverty & starvation.

The only possible motivation for destroying the test-crop is to prevent testing being carried out to demonstrate whether or not these crops are sustainable, effective and safe. Why would anyone want to prevent that testing being carried out? Fear that their platform will be shown to be a sham? Fear of being shown to be nothing more than fanatics? Or to prevent ongoing attempts to feed a large part of the worlds population that needs better crops and which cannot be fed otherwise?

Quite frankly, Greenpeace is known for its advocacy of reducing global populations and this would appear to do nothing more than demonstrate their commitment to that cause. If so, they are no more to blame than Herr Eichmann who honestly felt there were too many Jews in Germany (and the rest of Europe) or for that matter, Mister Mladic who honestly felt that there were too many Muslims & Croations in Serbia. However, once they start taking concrete steps/actions to ensure that such problems are dealt with, should be viewed in precisely the same way.

As far as weapons go, acting to prevent advances in agriculture being tested, for the express purpose of ensuring that such advances cannot be used to address the worldwide lack of food, is utterly despicable. In terms of ways to die, that is quite probably the slowest, lingering death one could wish on anyone. To say that Greenpeace is NOT aware of the food crisis is to suggest they are incapable of following the news. To ignore their actions is to allow them to continue them. This is the systematic, premeditated denial of sustenance (or the potential therefore) to up to 1 Billion people purely to support their own agenda.

Here's a great article from today's SMH, that says pretty well exactly what I've been saying here for a while:

>>
But just how ''extremist'' is the party that attracted one in six votes?

Even a casual study of its policies, and a comparison with the results of opinion polls and voter attitudes conducted over the past decade, suggests the Greens are no more radical than the centrist parties that have governed the Western world for much of the postwar period. On most issues, their values correlate with the views of a large minority of the public - well above their 15 per cent vote - and on many issues they are in tune philosophically with a large majority.<<

Politics is not just about the now but also about tomorrow....

Labor are the party of "nation building edifices", ignoring the fact that the edifice is a crock of tish

Greens are the party of save the world from humanity

- which means destroy what works and present useless non-functioning economically ubviable toys and send humanity back 300 years to a time before the French Revolution (and which brought about the French Revolution)

On the other Hand,

Libertarian Capitalism and the Liberals party of Australia represent the interests of the individual men and women, who want to bring up their own children and would prefer to make their own choices and thei own mistakes. Equipped with the knowledge that the mistakes of government have a far more devastating impact than the mistakes of individuals.

Politics is about the future as well as the present

And we all know, at the next election

Labor will be decimated in the voting and

The Greens will be completely destroyed

And I would just like to add

Bring it all on and get some economic sense back into government and away form

Whacko Insulation schemes
Whacko Malaysian illegal Entrant Schemes
Whacko Carbon Tax Schemes
Whacko NBN Schemes

and a government who has squandered the economic successes of the previous Liberal govdrnment on

Stupid bank guarantees
Stupid Spending Sprees (aka the notorious Dimulous package)
Pointless School Halls - many of which do not integrate with the utility services of the schools they are attached to

Julia Gizzards is dead meat today

in 18 months time she will still be dead meat

but left out in the Australian sun for a year and a half

or basically

a putrifying soup infested with maggots

but that is not new.....

that is how all Socialists governments end up

Thanks for that link I found it an interesting read.

Likewise- Have a great evening.

Do you know that if you are travelling and you stop at one of the roadside fireplaces, constructed by local councils for the convenience of travellers, that if you gather wood for the fire from a convenient dead wood alongside the road, that you can be fined for so doing?

Maximum fine is $5,000 and this little law is courtesy of the Greens through their influence on past Labor Governments in NSW.

Enjoy your next trip away to the bush.

Gee Wiz

Because people were no responsible and not putting them out of course.

Take a gas bottle. For goodness sake. Why do you think!

Haven't we seen enough of property and people being lost.

The things some people wing about.
