permaculture

["Robert Waldrop" <bwaldrop@cox.net>]

And furthermore. . . Al Gore is a mass murderer! 
While VP, he was part of an administration that 
ruthless sent a million Iraqi civilians to their 
deaths via a weapon of mass destruction -- the 
embargo of the Iraqi civilian economy.

His name should never be evoked with respect or 
adulation among permaculturists.  I am not at all 
surprised to see in Scott's post that he gave a 
speech at a Monsanto gathering.
