Google became evil when it contributed to the American Legislative Exchange Council. That "don't be evil" pledge was either naive or disingenuous. Google is a multinational corporation that's bigger than the economies of most countries and with the voracious short-term demands of stockholders. Expect it to act accordingly. There's nothing you can do about it. Because while you might indignantly decide to boycott Russian vodka or American Coca Cola, what are going to do strike back at Google? Do all your web searches on Bing? Give up your Android device? Not use Google maps? Stop watching cat videos on YouTube? Fat chance! And Google knows it. Aside from the significant chunk of your day you spend on Facebook, as far as you’re concerned, Google IS your Internet.
If these are secret proceedings and my understanding is correct that O'keefe leaked John Doe material to the Wall St Journal, how is it that O'keefe isn't getting three squares a day and isn't sporting a fitted orange jump suit?
<p>When you say "compost," do you mean what backyard gardeners and organic farmers would think of as compost -- containing weeds, veggie remains, hay, leaves, etc. -- or do you mean what the sewage sludge industry calls "compost," after it has heaped sewage sludge in a pile with some woodchips and let it sit for a while? Properly prepared compost does not contain sewage sludge from industrial and hospital wastestreams.</p>
It sounds like NPR wrote and article that took some wind out of your sails. As having a degree in writing and not science shouldn't you look at both sides of the coin? Maybe try and do some fair and balanced reporting? Plus your expert Dr. Lewis has a checkered past at best. Didn't he latch onto Dr. Andrew Wakefield and his fraud? I just want to know who is reporting on your spin and disinformation? This article smells funny. Maybe its just some sour grapes.
Are you talking about what we would normally think of as "sludge", or compost, or both? Your article doesn't specify. The issue is not trivial. While I oppose the use of "sludge" I would be open to the use of properly prepared compost if the food grown using it were properly tested.
