Origin of Tomato Blight revealed. It's a domestic terrorist attack!
I was forwarded this from a friend:
The Northeast United States -- of which Maine is still part of -- may have experienced its first widespread terrorist attack since Sept. 11, 2001.

Only we don't know it yet.

Here's what we do know so far:

In May and early June, an Alabama-based seedling company with alleged ties to terrorist organizations (i.e. separatist insurgents who engaged in an unsuccessful Civil War 1861-65 and went underground thereafter, surfacing as the States Rights movement and the Southern Baptist Convention) shipped hundreds of thousands of blight-infected tomato seedlings to so-called "big box" stores in the northeast -- Wal-Mart, Lowes, Kmart and Home Depot, all of which are well-represented in Maine. The seedlings also were shipped to hundreds of small greenhouses that marketed them to small farms and garden customers.

The full article is here: http://morningsentinel.mainetoday.com/view/columns/6774828.html

Sorry for the cross-post, I just thought that this needed more eyes on it.
