Laws in the United States and Europe that mandate the increased use of biofuels have contributed to soaring food prices and land shortages in Third World countries like Guatemala. What are the people affected to do? Maybe if we’re going to put their food into our gas tanks, they can put our gas into their stomachs.

‘ a world without common decency’ – well said. Oliver Stone’s new documentary series, “The Untold History of the United States” illustrates how the United States position in the world after WWII turned into a mandate to try to control everything with no sense of decency towards others. There is no grand conspiracy – it is simply the group of institutions that made the US successful, the legal system, medical institutions, military-industrial complex, insurance corporations, etc, etc. that have grown into huge cancers eating away at the fabric of our society.
