Most of my sources were on how to preserve and restore what is left and what had been. But then there are a couple of papers, one from the Economist and another from the FAS-USDA, congratulating the Brazilians for plowing up the Cerrado and putting in railroads, canals and roads to get the tons of soybeans that are now being produced to market. Something on the order of hundreds of thousands of hectares of once beautiful grassland in the Pantanal is now plowed up and planted in soybeans. Reading the articles made me sick to my stomach, especially since I knew the area back before it was "developed."Texas Aggienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584734024537154964.post-80317512317288493572012-02-11T18:00:32.294-05:002012-02-11T18:00:32.294-05:00Gail, Thank you for sharing that link - a sad, con...Gail, Thank you for sharing that link - a sad, continuous saga...killing Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029992871936764888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584734024537154964.post-6215152113666507362012-02-09T17:14:56.825-05:002012-02-09T17:14:56.825-05:00Knowing what I know about what happens when civili...Knowing what I know about what happens when civilization meets the "uncontacted", I'm afraid to actually read it, Gail.

He said, "I think you are depressed and would benefit from medication." Isn't it sad that those who are steeped in reality are classified as needing medication. Instead, the establishment recommends making ourselves comfortably numb to avoid such inconveniences.killing Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029992871936764888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584734024537154964.post-61474237201960877342012-01-30T18:41:41.269-05:002012-01-30T18:41:41.269-05:00You are right about the lack of understanding Jim....You are right about the lack of understanding Jim.
