The Goliaths of the biotech and processed-food industries have raised $27.2 million to defeat Prop 37, the California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act, and keep you from knowing what's in your food. We can win with much less money. But we do need to raise another $1 million by Sept. 30th to educate voters, distribute leaflets, print signs, saturate the media with the truth about GMOs, and get out the vote. Join us in a fight for consumers right to know what is in the food they are buying and feeding their families http://organicconsumersfund.org/donate/david-goliath.cfm
Corporate Funded Science In Our Universities Sucks Big Time!!!

Mississippi River Flood of 1927
Short silent film produced by the Signal Corps of the Mississippi flood of 1927.
View Film at http://archive.org/details/mississippi_flood_1927
Reel 1, flood waters rage through Illinois, carrying houses and debris. Kleinwood, La., is under water. Marooned families, their salvaged possessions, and livestock cling to levees. Sec. of Commerce Hoover meets Red Cross heads. Army troops load equipment on freight cars. Levees are reinforced at Baton Rouge. Coast Guard cutters and miscellaneous craft evacuate people and animals in La. Reel 2, Hoover and Sec. of War Davis inspect flooded areas at Vicksburg and along the River to Natchez. Refugees are inoculated, fed, and given shelter at an Army camp in Louisiana.
The material comes from a 3/4" U-matic video viewing copy made available at the National Archives facility in College Park, MD. The condition of the source material is relatively good for its age. Unfortunately, the transfer to video was badly done with lots of flicker and crooked perspective. Additionally, there are many video artifacts as a result of the age and wear of the video tape. High quality preservation 35mm film exists.

Visionary Scholar Charles Eisenstein: Authors at Google - YouTube
One smart dude! Worth viewing... Monte Hines
"Charles Eisenstein is a visionary scholar who maps economics, science, philosophy, psychology, and the history of civilization onto our daily activities, with inquiries like, 'How should we live?' 'What's really important?' 'How can our relationship to money be transformed?' He is the author of ""The Yoga of Eating"", ""Ascent of Humanity"", and ""Sacred Economics"".
Sacred Economics is Eisenstein's exploration of the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, where he reveals how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, destroyed community, and necessitated endless growth. Sacred Economics explores avant-garde concepts of the New Economics, including negative-interest currencies, local currencies, resource-based economics, gift economies, and the restoration of the commons. Author Charles Eisenstein also considers the personal dimensions of this transition, speaking to those concerned with "right livelihood" and how to live according to their ideals in a world seemingly ruled by money. Tapping into a rich lineage of conventional and unconventional economic thought, Sacred Economics presents a vision that is original yet commonsense, radical yet gentle, and increasingly relevant as the crises of our civilization deepen and we move into a new age, a new way of being with each other and our planet.
Eisenstein graduated from Yale University in 1989 with a degree in Mathematics and Philosophy, and spent the next ten years as a Chinese-English translator. He currently lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and serves on the faculty of Goddard College. His writings on the web magazine ""Reality Sandwich"" have generated a vast online following.
True to his word, he lives in a gift economy and has made available both ""Ascent of Humanity"" and ""Sacred Economics"" to read online for free!"
