		<description>&quot;Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.&quot;

		<description>Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. 

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things. 


Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have. 

I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else. 


I never worry about action, but only inaction. 

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. 

Never, never, never give up. 


Play the game for more than you can afford to lose... only then will you learn the game. 


Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.


The first quality that is needed is audacity

These are not dark days: these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived. 


You have enemies? Good. That means you&#039;ve stood up for something, sometime in your life. 

-Winston Churchill</description>

		<description>Raj,

You certainly understand the situation and are correct in my view.  However, the politicians have already accepted their payments and know their jobs, feeling obligated to carry them out as instructed.  They will ignore the protests as they have in the past and continue as business as usual.  Our politicians are now completely owned by the Military/Industrial Complex of which Big Agra is a major force for world domination at the expense of the lives of millions which they only consider as &quot;expendable units&quot; and &quot;useless eaters.&quot; -- according to their own terminology as espoused by the Club of Rome.   It is horrific to say the least.

Thousands of us begged them not to engage in the huge bailouts of institutions &quot;too big to fail.&quot;  We didn&#039;t even get the usual &quot;form letter&quot; back.  They ignored the people because those very institutions are their bosses and masters.  All the multimillion dollar political campaigns are financed by the selfish despots.  Party doesn&#039;t matter.  That is a ruse to create the illusion that people actually have a choice.  Presently, we do not.

That so-called &quot;bailout&quot; which amounted to trillions of dollars was the biggest heist in the history of the world and it was done right in broad daylight because these would-be world controllers have now grown so arrogant as to think they are unstoppable.  America no longer has a government of the people, by the people and for the people but has become what some of us refer to as the &quot;Great Whorehouse on the Potomac.&quot;

I certainly appreciate that you are a voice of logical reason amidst a sea of complete insanity that causes so much suffering across the whole planet.

Perhaps it will take the entire collapse of the present &quot;civilization&quot; in order that the New Paradigm based upon values, reason and logic emerges.

I realize that many are working within the system in an attempt to turn things around  and there are small succsesses but the entire system itself is totally corrupt and criminality has now become the standard way of doing &quot;business&quot; and, as always, at the expense and suffering of the poor and those who wish to be caregivers to Mother Earth and see theirbrothers and sisters with plenty of food to eat and a life without squalor.  Meanwhile, the World Control Paradigm threatens the world with annihilation through nuclear or scalar weaponry in order to produce their favorite method of manipulation and control---FEAR. They use FOOD as a weapon and they use money, war, terror, energy and brain-washing as the everyday tools of tyranny.

One can only pray that this World Control Paradigm will collapse under the weight of its own complete and 100% criminal corruption and that somehow the people of the world will learn to reject this systemic genocide and realize that they have the innate power and ability to do so.  I think that many are learning that but the process has been very slow, up til now anyway.

Of course solutions are at hand and many are doing their best to apply them but get little press for it since the main-stream media is fully controlled at present by the PTB and their paid minions. And, there are plenty of paid misinformation agents that keep the internet full of speculations far away from the real issues.

Thanks for zeroing in on a very real and pertinent issue--FOOD.  It could be the basis for some justice to finally emerge.

Meanwhile, I will plant an organic garden and try to encourage my neighbors to do likewise.
