1 August 2024 - This is Why!

The Lever recently published an article, called 'The Toxic Harvest', which examines a new study, amongst others, about agricultural chemicals, basically pesticides (and herbicides), and how exposure to them may be as bad for a human as smoking in terms of health consequences.

Know Your Rights - All Three of Them!

Some songs have been stuck in my head lately. The songs are very, very good anti-government and anti-war music, dating to the late 1970s, and early 1980s.

For example, how's about this song from the Clash - Know your Rights. The lyrics take the form of an announcement by an unnamed, unknown, government official.
