They are crops upon which you can spray herbicides to kill the weeds without killing the crops. They are the ones that saturate the whole plant with the chemical that is killing off bee immunity and causing the colony collapse disorder in the world's bees. They are the ones that all kinds of communities are trying to legislate against, but the feds keep letting poison us all.
Not photoshopped. I cropped out and adjusted the gamma so much that it disappeared the smoke coming up out of the cigarette. I was trying to down play the glare from the back lighting on his oiled skin under his left arm.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. —John F. Kennedy
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so. —Ronald Reagan
Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. —Martin Luther King
We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked. —not uttered by anyone in charge lately

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court. —Cynthia McKinney
No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold.

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil. —Terry Eagleton
