I never stopped to think of it before, but you know &#8212; a policeman will     jest stand there an let a banker rob a farmer, or a finance man rob a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shout-out to Dewayne &#8220;Soulman&#8221; Morris</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Yes Sir, yes Mam, don&#8217;t let his laid back southern drawl  fool you. My friend Dewayne Morris, rodeo barrelman &#8220;Soulman&#8221;, extreme bullfighter, producer and ex-US soldier, is the salt of the earth. Fuelled by a breakfast of Froot Loops and Dr. Peppers, Dewayne is one of the fastest mammals on two feet and just the [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;touching something that is untouchable&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the same vein as my last post, and from a work done at great legal risk by the documentary makers, the following quotations:
Monsanto, where creative chemistry works wonders for you.
I have never seen a situation where one company could have so much overwhelming influence at the highest levels of regulatory decision making, as an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Greasing the Cloud</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If there can be found to be any silver lining to such incipiently  disastrous events as BP&#8217;s recent and ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of  Mexico, it is the reminder that we must be constantly vigilant of the  hubris of Humankind and vigourous in demanding that our leaders and  policy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Classic Documentary -Fourteen Dollars a day, Twenty-six dollars an acre</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How things have changed for the farmer&#8230; or have they?
The best way to keep a gang happy is to set a good table.
It&#8217;s mainly women and girls who work the table gang, a few boys, but the work is so hard that they&#8217;re paid as much as the primers in the field.

The beautiful work of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Guest Column: Cynical Canadians: Shame on you!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Guest Column Rant
By Curmudgy Mapleblight:
Some might suggest that it is cynical behaviour by Canada’s Conservative federal government led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to prorogue parliament in the middle of the Christmas/New Years holiday week, on the eve of New Years eve, when the hearts and minds of the Canadian electorate were presumably taking a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Food for thought: Is &#8220;local food&#8221; really local?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Vincenzo Pietropaolo has been documenting the hard lives of migrant farm workers since 1984. It is a thoughtful and poignant work that Vince has just published in the guise of his latest book,  Harvest Pilgrims.

		<description><![CDATA[

With the recent visit by The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall to our little colony, there was much chin-wagging on the monarchy debate in the media which left me, as it does usually, sitting on the fence.
Clearly I have misgivings concerning the monarchy&#8217;s historically imperial propensities and Great Britain&#8217;s unfortunately enduring legacies of colonialism, [...]]]></description>
