“Even if you could use all the organic material that you have--the animal manures, the human waste, the plant residues--and get them back on the soil, you couldn't feed more than 4 billion people. In addition, if all agriculture were organic, you would have to increase cropland area dramatically, spreading out into marginal areas and cutting down millions of acres of forests.” PeopleIfsHumansUseAnimalMillionsCuttingMaterialsWasteAreasIncreasePlantBillionsForestsSoilAgricultureAcresManureCutting Down Author:Norman Borlaug

“In Celtic Ireland the name Leo was Lugh, another solar hero and mystic. In Wales he was Llew, to the Romans Lugus, to the Sumerians Lughal. Its not the same dude on walkabout, it's the Astrological sign of Leo. In the Christian iconography we have one of the Evangelists represented by a Lion. In the Nativity scenes we see 4 animals around the cradle of the Son/Sun king. One of these is also a Lion. Christians probably believe that there was one in the area and just happened to wander into the inn to take a peek at sleeping Jesus.

“In short, Europe’s colonization of Africa had nothing to do with differences between European and African peoples themselves, as white racists assume.

That is, the different historical trajectories of Africa and Europe stem ultimately from differences in real estate.” DifferentRealDifferencesWhiteAnimalParticularEuropeAreasAssumingPlantHistoricalSpeciesDuesAccidentsRacistContinentsStemEstatesGeographyTrajectoryColonizationAxesPlants And Animals Author:Jared Diamond
