Are the anti's really so delusional that they choose to attack one segment of pesticide users while simultaneously ignoring the fact that pesticides are used all over the islands, and not just in agriculture. I'm certainly not pro-pesticide, however if legislation is going to be passed under the guise of "protecting the keiki" then it's silly to ignore the fact that golf courses, hotels, the county, and on and on ALL use pesticides.

They were also singled out because of the problems they are creating around the world and how they attempt to manipulate and control using money. The issue is poisons and health. All issues must be dealt with as they arise. Poisons must be regulated much more strictly in all areas in the future. These companies are not being singled out. They have just failed to gain the trust of the public through their own actions and this is the result. All pesticide use must be examined and reduced. Golf courses and roadside spraying are next. And we do not need to be Superman or Superwoman to solve the problem of poisoning our world with toxic chemicals. Go any any school and you will find intelligent students who are very capable of working on solutions to these important problems.

Shift the blame to Gary, Hawaii Seed, Babes, etc. Refuse to acknowledge that many of us are intelligent enough to do our own research and come to our own conclusions. Conclusions that agree that we are all part of the problem and that the problem must be addressed. And their are millions of us. We do not need Gary to think for us. And Joan, much needed evidence for poisoning takes time and is not easy to do. Accumulative effects and effects of unknown combinations of poisons cannot be done with 90 day studies. And as for proof of poisoning of the soil in Hawaii, ask any farmer about the fertility of soils that were previously sugar cane and pineapple fields. Ask those special people who are super-sensitive to various chemicals what happens when they drive down the road with open windows where roundup has been recently sprayed. You are right in that we are all guilty using modern technology. But that does not mean we should not change to technologies and methods that result in the least amount of poisons being introduced into the environment. Hopefully someday you will come to address the real issues that 5:40 brought up- creating a healthier environment for all and building trust. So far most of your recent blogs concerning pesticides, smoke and poisons avoid these real issues by focusing on personalities instead of issues. This does nothing at all to build trust in our community. Yes, we are all to blame. Now Joan, what are the next steps to take to reduce physical, mental and spiritual toxicity on our precious island. Tell us what your vision for our grandchildrenʻs world is. I would like to hear that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-91712455949717769202015-03-03T17:52:46.353-10:002015-03-03T17:52:46.353-10:00Dear 5;40 --So you want to remove all poisons from...Dear 5;40 --So you want to remove all poisons from the environment. Are you willing to give up your cell phone, car, computer, treated water, electricity, air travel and imported food? Not to mention all the other household goods and products that use chemicals or create some hazardous waste in their production. <br /><br />I am not an advocate of pesticides, though I can see their value in certain applications. And I do not dispute that pesticides have caused problems elsewhere. But when it comes to Hawaii, it just seems to me that if the poisoning is as widespread as you and some others claim, we'd see some evidence of it -- I'm not even talking about proof, but evidence -- and there hasn't been anything.<br /><br />As for the poisoned mental states due to fear, you've got to take responsibility for that yourself, though some blame certainly could be spread around to Hooser, Hawaii SEED, Babes, Center for Food Safety, etc. Fear and stress are very real toxins, so you might want to work on reducing your exposure to both by getting a grip on reality. We live in a toxic cocktail in this modern industrial life. You can't escape it, and you can't blame the seed companies for it. Everybody who uses modern stuff is part of the problem. And that includes you, much as you might like to believe otherwise.Joan Conrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172330100788007499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-58111884994936056022015-03-03T17:48:54.361-10:002015-03-03T17:48:54.361-10:00Prediction-

Isn...Joan, Why must we wait for proof of poisoning. Isnʻt the best policy to move towards the removal of all poisons from our environment? And we are not just speaking of the poisoning of people- what about the poisoning of the soil, the air, the water, the animals and insects? What about the poisoning of our mental environment with stress due to the fear of illness due to poison? And why should the companies that claim safety who control the agencies responsible for safety be trusted? What is their track record with safety around the world? Why not balance your information with examples of poisoning of the land, water, air, people and animals with products created by these companies? Argentina is a good place to start. And West Virginia where Monsanto has recently lost a multi-million dollar suit over agent orange related pollution of the local environment and peopleʻs health. Claims of safety will never ever be believed when these companies have such a terrible history of creating distress and havoc around the world. And with more and more science coming in showing the possible dangers of all these poisons on our fragile environment. What will we tell our grandchildren if they look back and see we supported and believed untrustworthy giant multinational corporations with their claims of safety- and then realized later that the claims were false and that the poisons produced by these companies were responsible for much sickness including soil, air, water, animals, plants, insects and humans? This is were the precautionary principle becomes so important. If this principle were honored, we would be moving much slower in the production and use of poisons on our planet. Claims of safety are useless if the claimant cannot be trusted. Joan, can you provide the public with information which will increase our trust of these companies so that we will begin to feel safe? Show us how poisons help create a healthier environment for the earth and all living creatures? If you can do that, then you will help to eliminate the distrust that millions or billions of people around the world hold for the companies which create, distribute and promote these poisons.

Curiously, none were farm workers, who would seem to have the most direct exposure.<br /><br />However, I have yet to hear of even one claim that was proven. And while an Anonymous did assert in comments a while back that a person or persons had tested positive for pesticides in their blood or urine, to my knowledge no one has yet stepped forward with any proof of ag pesticide exposure, much less poisoning or illness.<br />Joan Conrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172330100788007499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-51010113349321491612015-03-03T16:22:01.445-10:002015-03-03T16:22:01.445-10:002:05- Your logic is infallible.
