It is indeed ...Thanks for your comments, Frederick. It is indeed telling that people like O'Leary are unable or unwilling to make the distinction in their own minds between those who are paid shills for 'special interests' and those who are motivated by a sincere and honest concern for everyone's health and well-being. I guess someone like Rachel Parent is, in O'Leary's limited yet fevered imagination, an enemy of the corporate state, end of discussion.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-46795436437035598162013-08-15T01:46:20.711-04:002013-08-15T01:46:20.711-04:00This is incredible.

It is amazing how 2 educated adults gang up on a 14 y.o gold like she is the CEO of a multi-national corporation.<br /><br />Leary is disgusting. 2 basic holes in his argument:<br /><br />1<br />He wants to label Rachel as a lobbyist = lobbyists are not to be believed. But he uses lobbyists, like many other coersive MNCs, and even mercenaries. Where is his answer to these? <br /><br />2<br />If GMOs are so amazing, why not label the food as such? Why hide it? If it is so beneficial, then let the world know what marvellous creations GMOs are. Instead, they want to to say GMOs are so ubiquitous, there is no point. Yet we have farmers who want to grow organically. So, given we all have a choice, both should be labelled/defined accordingly. <br /><br />That Leary is a BILLIONAIRE only illustrates more than ever that the current structure of money is a virus, not a seed. <br /><br />Time to change.<br /><br />Frederick<br />Timebeats Global<br />https://www.facebook.com/timebeatsglobalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-27283794533650146562013-08-06T10:51:52.886-04:002013-08-06T10:51:52.886-04:00Exactly, Anon, but the prospect of an informed and...Exactly, Anon, but the prospect of an informed and engaged public is something the corporate agenda loathes, I suspect.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-62993893414033490202013-08-06T10:48:21.329-04:002013-08-06T10:48:21.329-04:00I suspect O'Leary's hubris is such that he...I suspect O'Leary's hubris is such that he probably thinks he is doing a public service by spreading his winner-take-all concept of capitalism on the public broadcaster, Anon.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-78866319339054035482013-08-06T10:39:44.706-04:002013-08-06T10:39:44.706-04:00O'Leary is a bad 'mouth of capitalism'...O'Leary is a bad 'mouth of capitalism' because he reinforces the notion that corporations do NOT want us to know about the product they dump on is.
