The Future of Food
Back on the environmental tip. I went down to Ann Arbor last night to see the documentary "The Future of Food" produced by Deborah Koons Garcia and Lily Films. Deborah Koons Garcia is non other then the late Jerry Garcia s better half. I have never been a fan of the dead but still interesting to see a lecture and a movie done by his wife. Any how back to the movie, this is a must see for everyone that plans on living for awhile and wants future generations to live on. There has been a major shift in the world that not many people are aware of and should be aware of. Back in 1992 there was a major court decision that basically gave up the right to life to a corporation named Monsanto (and a few others but to a much lesser degree). Anyways watch the trailer and please try to see a screening of this, I feel that this is MAJOR issue (much larger then the war in Iraq, gay marriages, and the death tax. Oh I forgot to mention the SOME HIGH UP GOVERNMENTAL OFFICIALS ARE ALSO MONSANTO EMPLOYEES AND BOARD MEMBERS.) Also be sure to check out the links on www.thefutureoffood.com s site.

Jason Thielke
I love trucks. I love Jason Thielke's drawings and paintings of trucks more. He also does other sweet drawings of things like boomboxes and heavy duty equipment. It seems to me that he likes to draw lines, so he s definetly ok in my book.
