Should a Cat Strike Back?
Just as in the animal plane, so in the human. Dogs tear at cats, aggressors at pacifists, fear against peace. Fear is a form of hate. So love and peace must be demolished, batons against flowers. There is an ancient Indian sentiment about how the peaceful, beautiful flower" people respond to forces dressed in black hoping to provoke "rioting" to justify cracking and instituting Marshall law:

Just as the sandalwood tree sprinkles
Perfume on the very axe that lays it low
So the good/wise person showers with
Love even those who approach as foes.

"Poetic justice" is not justice. Police use these incidents to justify preemptive brutality. There are a great many back up troops to conduct mass attacks in an unending bouts of retaliation.

In the movie "Berkeley in the Sixties," many students talk about how police coralled them, blocking from leaving campus after a sit in/speech. A military helicopter was getting into position to tear gas them. It did as the riot police laughed, swung batons, and arrested anyone still standing. Business as usual.

Police train to corral peaceful demonstrators. Now they are "illegally" assembled. And it is time to round them up. It just happened in the arrest of 700 peaceful activists led onto then trapped on the Brooklyn bridge -- misguiding them into actions they can be arrested, shot, brutalized, or maced over. It is no accident, no crossed signals, no error. This is how they are drilled in from covert training manuals. The CIA has its own Anarchist's Cookbook. They want activists to break the law to counter it with draconian tactics, torture, brutality, and a militaristic mentality.

The US illegally invaded Buddhist countries (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos) in covert wars. American college students stood up. Massacres of students by the police that provoke rather than pacify them is exactly what "peace" officers train and hope for.

Why Are Our Bees Vanishing? (video)

(VanishingBees.com) Imagine half a million adults skipping town and leaving their children behind. Picture an opened suitcase filled with bundles of cash at a bus stop yet no robber wants to snatch it. The apiary science mystery known as "Colony Collapse Disorder" (CCD) displays these very symptoms. Not only do our critical crop pollinating honey bees abandon their hives, which they cannot live away from for more than 24 hours, but the queen and the brood as well. Unnatural. Unheard of. Even the predators that usually raid the hive for honey stay away when nothing is protecting it. At first it sounds like an urban legend or an exaggerated tale. Except it's not. The situation is both real and dire. Bees are disappearing all over the planet, and no one knew why. But now the answers are becoming apparent:

• systemic pesticides (not toxins sprayed on to dissipate but taken up into every part of the plant where they weaken bees' immune systems)
• mites and fungal blight brought on by weakened immunity, which would normally be segregated with wax in the sterile environment of the hive but is not because of the incapacitated bees
• cell phone tower radiation, which is disruptive to compromised bees
• mono-cropping (growing a single crop in need of pollination but no other plants on which the bees could survive between harvests)
• stresses in the environment (depleted soil, contaminated fields, genetically manipulated plants by companies like Monsanto)
• like AIDS and mystery flu syndromes and E. coli outbreaks, once the organism is compromised in terms of nutrients and immunity, it is open to opportunistic infections and influences

"The Botany of Desire" (video)

(Link)

(PBS) "The Botany of Desire" is an eye opening exploration of the human-plant relationship. Featuring author Michael Pollan and based on his best-selling book, this special takes viewers on a fantastical ride exploring the human and plant worlds -- from the plants' point of view. The program shows how four familiar American favorites evolved to satisfy our yearnings for intoxication (altered consciousness), control, sweetness, and beauty:

1. our favorite weed, marijuana (for medicine)
2. our favorite vegetable, the potato (for chips)
3. our favorite fruit, the apple (for pie), and
4. our favorite flower, the tulip (for tiptoeing).

Tips for starting a vegetable garden
Vegetable and herb gardening is in and studies indicate it will continue to grow in popularity. If you're not growing your own yet it's time to start. Why? The reasons are as varied as the people who garden. Some do it to save money. Others want to ensure their food is chemical-free, and as safe as possible. Still others grow their own vegetables because fresher is just better. Many do it because gardening is good for you and some because it’s still fun to play in the dirt. More

Mr. Natural
Outdoorsman has made life of exploring urban wilderness
Justin Chapman (PasadenaWeekly.com)
Christopher Nyerges has lived the life he’s written so passionately about in numerous books, magazines, and newspapers -- that of a philosopher outdoorsman traversing an increasingly urbanized wilderness, a man able to survive off the land in any given situation. “In a survival situation, you’re either prepared or you’re not... And most people are wholly unprepared. That being said, I look at failure, which most people try to avoid, as a good thing. Failure from the standpoint of character-building means that you have your weaknesses exposed, and if you’re smart, you then do something about it.” More
