The Dark Side of America’s Big Agriculture
Nitrate from fertilizer and manure befouls countless waterways and kitchen taps across the US. But unlike other big polluters, from petroleum to plastics, Big Agriculture has largely avoided responsibility for its dirty footprint. In no state is this arguably clearer than Iowa, where the multibillion-dollar corn industrial complex of farmers, food processors, tractor makers, chemical companies, ethanol producers and their lobbyists reigns supreme.

From brain regions devoted to processing our speech to the “love hormone” or oxytocin that surges when we lock eyes, your dog’s mind is hardwired to pick up on what you’re feeling.Read the entire article at ScienceAlert

Maria who used to be a wolf
Maria who used to be a wolf.
once while camping in the snow
Maria crawled into a cave and was an animal
she painted herself onto the walls
every night in the dim fire light
she would dance in the shadows
hair a different colour
flickering in the walls
her sister …who used to be a wolf
told me that when she was a little girl
she dug holes in the back yard with her feet
planting bean after bean after bean
each one grew with beautiful bright blossoms
(last moon when the snow slept
I saw her)Richardb copy right July 2006 & renewed July 2026

As a group therapist about 50% of clients/patients I’ve worked with since 1981 have had some level of trauma and often PTSD. It’s not something that you want to pretend is ok.Veterans Affairs officials insist there are no caps on mental health care, but providers in multiple states disagree.
