Would leave it in a minute if Canada would have me, but they said I'm too old! Ms Bigmack

I've grown the best pole beans of my life this year... and this year we didn't even have much summer in the Seattle area.

I grew "Goldmarie" from Territorial Seeds.

They are a Romano type... flatter than Blue Lakes.

Very "bean-ey" flavor... no strings, no matter how big they are!

Delicious!

And very productive.

a little GOOD news! Thanks Ms Bigmack

I TOTALLY agree. It's WAY past time. I swear to the goddess on the grave of my mother that I am NOT anti-semitic, but I do believe that the state of Israel is an European-US colony in the Middle East, built on stolen land. The holocaust survivors should have been given Bavaria, or some such spot in Germany. Ms Bigmack

Thanks, Ms Bigmack

IF ONLY he could walk free tomorrow. Heaven only knows the gov't of the US has maimed, killed, and detained SO many innocents..... I don't condone ANY killing, but justice is justice, and god only knows he SHOULD BE FREE, LONG SINCE! Ms Bigmack

Got the book from our library - I'm about a third of the way thru it, and it's a VERY GOOD READ - probably otta be REQUIRED reading for just about EVERYONE! Ms Bigmack

“I believe that if we had and would keep our dirty, bloody, dollar soaked fingers out of the business of these (Third World) nations so full of depressed, exploited people, they will arrive at a solution of their own. And if unfortunately their revolution must be of the violent type because the `haves' refuse to share with the `have-nots' by any peaceful method, at least what they get will be their own, and not the American style, which they don’t want and above all don’t want crammed down their throats by Americans.'”–

even make the earth move! Or maybe heaven really IS on their side! Or something..... Ms Bigmack

NEVER thought I'd think of death as an escape..... Ms Bigmack

While not exactly "news" this page puts information together WELL. Should be universally required reading for The Great Unwashed. Ms Bigmack

Way to go, neighbors! Ms Bigmack

I'm a Vietnam Vet, and I've never had a problem with Jane. The rightwing chickenhawks hate her because she was right, just like they hate Walter Kronkite for being right.

I find that the brave veterans sitting and drinking at the VFW hate Jane, but if you talk to them, you find they were supply pogues or office weenies, and they believe all the RW viral emails about Fonda, rather than checking for themselves.

Why is it that these assholes blame everybody for the "loss" of Vietnam on people like Fonda, but never talk about the blame that should be heaped on those who put the US there and kept us there?

I LOVE this stuff, but my career as a physicist was ended by my "D" in calculus.....that I worked harder for than ANY "A" I got in ANYTHING else! Ms Bigmack

Korten is a fine writer and analyst - have read several of his other books, and I really like and respect the guy. Ms Bigmack
