United Nations Calls for an End to Industrialized Farming
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/27636-united-nations-calls-for-an-end-to-industrialized-farming#
In 2013, the United Nations announced that the world's agricultural needs can be met with localized organic farms. That's right, we do not need giant monocultures that pour, spray and coat our produce with massive amounts of poisons, only to create mutant pests and weeds while decimating pollinators and harming human health. Don't believe the hype: We do not need genetically modified foods "to feed the world."
From my experience, many of these - how shall we say it - "worker bees" (i.e the GMO salesmen) who spread this propaganda, actually believe conventional tactics are necessary to ensure food security. They've drunk the Kool-Aid and cannot envision another possibility. The changes threaten their very existence
Scott Walker: Denying health care to low-income people helps them 'Live the American Dream'
Defending his fellow Republican governors decision to block Medicaid expansion in their states, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Friday suggested that denying health coverage to additional low-income Americans helps more people live the American Dream because they wont be dependent on the American government.
Walker has recently leveled some criticism at other GOP leaders for accepting Obamacares optional Medicaid expansion, saying they shouldnt necessarily trust the government to come through with the federal funds to cover the policy. During an appearance on MSNBCs Morning Joe on Friday, Walker was asked whether his position stemmed from an ideological criticism, and if he believes the handful of Republican governors implementing this provision of the health law are not genuine conservatives.

And people voted for this guy? And we also voted to accept the medicaid money?

World War II vet, 90, vows to continue fight to feed homeless amid Florida city ban
The 90-year-old Florida man who continues to break a new state law by feeding the homeless has become the catalyst for heated conversations between local government officials and charity organizations.
Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jack Seiler alluded to the national attention that World War II veteran Arnold Abbott has brought to the city after the elderly man was twice issued citations in the same week in October for staging makeshift feeding stations for those in need. The two debated the controversial homeless feeding ordinance on local television Nov. 9.
Seiler said the new laws, which prohibit camping, panhandling, food-sharing and other life-sustaining activities, are in fact meant to provide the homeless with safe, secure and sanitary conditions where they could seek help.
