just finished listening to an interview between Thom Hartmann and a spokesman from the Ayn Rand insitute. True to their cutthroat objectivist ethos, Dr. Brook advocated the idea that airable land should be sold off to the highest bidder, and farmed with genetically modified seed to maximize output.
Thom Hartmann was his usuall insightful, critical self in countering the argument, but there was something I thought was missed.
Will the food shortage drive us desperately into the arms of someone, anyone who promises to save us?
Would the beaten down economically depressed (German, Italian, Japanese, etc) people have otherwise allowed fascism on their soils.
Knowing full well what the future holds when genetically modified organisms superceed and wipe out the genetic diversity of existing lines, will the world sell its soul to monsanto for a quick meal today?
