POPSYard Sale Nation (2) If they nationalise the banks, will they nationalise the farms next? It would be ironic if the US adopted a Soviet-style economy where people pretended to work and the government pretended to pay them.

To change one's mind takes only a micro-second and we already have the means of instant communication. The choice is simple, clear and stark.

POPSAnimal rights: A farm boy reflects Anyone who knows animals, knows that they have individual personalities, often more interesting and more ethical than human personalities. By what right, do we make them suffer before killing them for our own benefit?

POPSSurvey shows rise in U.S. honey bee deaths From a selfish (human-centred) point of view, here's another reason why food prices will continue to rise at an accelerating rate. From the point of view of the bees, it must be even worse.

Also, once you start growing potatoes, you start growing other food, too.
