4.5 Billions Years Of Evolution Can’t Be Wrong
Have you ever pondered just how amazing life on our planet really is? That emotion overcame me as I was watching a pet cockatiel today. What an amazing thing that this small creature can bond with a human being and communicate on an emotional level. The complexity of life is overwhelming.
So, it makes me a bit nervous when I see the arrogance of scientists who believe they can improve on nature… particularly when that attitude comes from the profit motive. In the final analysis, the only moral responsibility of any corporation is to provide profits to its investors.
Enter Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO
So, get the picture here. Scientists think they can make “better” plants, where better is defined as more capable of increasing bottom line profits. Sure, they camouflage the profits in lofty ideals like increasing the world food supply, but, really, at the heart of it is more money. Imagine that you take an organic tomato and eat it. There is an incredibly complex set of chemical reactions happening between you and the tomato that have developed over millions of years… and without any long term studies, scientists decide that injecting the DNA of a fish into the tomato is a beneficial thing… beneficial to bottom lines, yes, but who knows about if it is beneficial to you.

Calling All Robin Hoods
So, when you were a kid did you like The Sheriff of Nottingham and Prince John, or did you like Robin Hood, Maid Marian, and Richard the Lionheart? Personally, I don’t know one person who liked the Sheriff of Notthingham.
These are archetypal characters in the American consciousness.Here is the cast of characters.
Prince John the evil usurper of power who made the power grab while his brother John went off to fight in the crusades. He was all about getting more money and power.
The Sheriff of Nottingham was the evil henchman of Prince John. He was the direct contact with the people who actually made the money grab possible.
Robin Hood was the character that represented good and opposed the forces of evil by taking the money that the evil doers took from the people and gave it back to the people.
Maid Marian was the force inside the evil doers empire that gave Robin Hood the inside track and facilitated his efforts on behalf of the people.
Richard The Lionheart was the good King… the king that loved the people instead of his own power.
These five types of characters appear throughout literature, drama, radio, TV, and movies. You’ve seen them over and over and over again. And now we are seeing them play out in the national political scene.
