Blue States vs. Red States

You gotta love this:

With the Blue States in hand, the Democrats have firm control of 80%
of the world's fresh water, over 90% of our pineapple and lettuce,
93% of the artichoke production, 95% of America's export quality
wines, 90% of all cheese production, most of the US low-sulfur coal,
all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven
Sister schools, plus Stanford, CalTech and MIT.

We can live simply but well.

The Red States, on the other hand, now have to cope with 88% of all
obese Americans (and their projected health care cost spike), 92% of
all US mosquitoes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, 100% of all
Televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the
University of Georgia.

While GMF (genetically modified food) has huge potential to help with the world's hunger problems, there are some serious downsides too! Iraqi farmers may be forced to buy new GMF seeds every year rather than replanting as they have done for thousands of years. Click on the link just below for the full story
