re: #232 Truck Monkey

Glenn Becks radio program had a commercial on it today for non genetically engineered seeds. Claims they will be worth more than gold and silver (when?) and that there are people, RIGHT NOW, storing these seeds in warehouses by the Arctic Circle. I sh*t you not. I am still scratching my head. When are these seeds going to be worth more than gold and silver and why? Who the hell has rented warehouse space in the Arctic Circle to store these seeds and why? Who the f*ck has an acre of land available to them to plant these survival gardens? This is some serious Tinfoil hat crap. I am still trying to wrap my head around it. It speaks volumes as to who Glenn Beck is and what he believes.

Yeah, I have a friend who is trying to get an order together for those. I just went to Home Depot and we’re doing container gardening*, mostly so the boys can learn some gardening techniques.

However, really, how many non-tampered with plants are there? Mankind has been monkeying with plants, and domesticated animals, by selectively breeding them for years. Doesn’t bug me.

*If you are grossed out easily, stop reading here. I have been wanting to do container gardening for years, but I had to wait for one of my boys to grow up. When he was two, I tried to start some seeds in little peat starters on the back porch. Not only did he rip up the peat starters and stomp all over them, he pulled down his diaper and pooped on them. I took this to be a definitive statment of his feelings, and have waited until he’s old enough to participate, and therefore, want the plants to succeed.
