The GOP Want War. WWIII
They say they want to keep us safe but then they can't even hide the fact that they want war.
A GOP President will cause worldwide strife. We could literally wipe ourselves out with war and climate change denial. We can not let this happen.
Everyone needs to vote whether their favorite candidate wins the primary or not.
With that said... Hillary does not want war but she is fine with teetering on the brink. She is a hawk but she is way, way better than any Republican.
Our "War on Terrorism" is a self perpetuating disaster. We create terrorists by bombing homes and families faster than we kill them off. THe GOP seems to think we can bomb them all out of existence. We need to end the bloodshed not increase it.
The focus is on terrorism for almost every candidate except Bernie.
Bernie is focused on America and Americans. On improving our lives. Isn't that better than war?
Please vote for Bernie for our children's sake. But, if Hillary wins the primary, please do not stay home. Vote for Hillary.
America needs a reboot and we need to be better than we are today.
Big Food Aims to Kill Mandatory GMO Labels Before Year's End
Food makers want the Senate to pass a bill that would make labeling voluntary and supersede state-level laws.
There's no doubt about it: The food industry is counting on you to be distracted at this busy time of year, what with all those visions of sugarplums, etc., as it tries to make a stealth end run to quash any effort to require the labeling of foods that contain genetically modified ingredients.

GMO Labels: 90 Percent of Americans Want Them, but Washington Won’t Deliver
A staggering majority of Americans think genetically engineered foods should be clearly labeled. Why isn’t D.C. listening?
Even if you’ve grown cynical about the outsize influence of special interests in politics, the fight in Washington, D.C., over whether or not to require foods made with genetically modified ingredients to be labeled as such is enough to get your blood boiling.

One must ask, is this a democracy or not? Why can't we get labels if so many Americans want them?

IMHO: I tend to believe that GMO's are safe to eat. My big issue is the increased pesticide use and the constant resistant to pesticides GMO's create.
We're poisoning our land and wildlife at unprecedented rates. I believe that this is a big factor in...
Will Humans Survive the Sixth Great Extinction?
Species are disappearing at an alarming rate, a new study finds. Author Elizabeth Kolbert says that raises questions about our survival.
In the last half-billion years, life on Earth has been nearly wiped out five times—by such things as climate change, an intense ice age, volcanoes, and that space rock that smashed into the Gulf of Mexico 65 million years ago, obliterating the dinosaurs and a bunch of other species. These events are known as the Big Five mass extinctions, and all signs suggest we are now on the precipice of a sixth.
Except this time, we have no one but ourselves to blame. According to a study published last week in Science Advances, the current extinction rate could be more than 100 times higher than normal—and that’s only taking into account the kinds of animals we know the most about. Earth’s oceans and forests host an untold number of species, many of which will probably disappear before we even get to know them.

Our solution to the problem simply perpetuates the problem further requiring more of the solution.
Collateral Damage. We don't like to talk about it but it is what creates more terrorists. We kill people's parents, brothers, sisters and grandparents. They get mad at the US and become terrorist to fight the terrorists (USA).
It works as planned creating more war and more profit from war.
Take the profit out of war and it will end today.
