Organic foods:
Good choice!! Beware, not all organics are the same as USDA has a two-tiered system designed for the mega-corporations to have their "appropriate share" of the fresh produce marketplace. I'd avoid food grown on 3-mile-island properties controlled by Dole lettuce growers :-|

Rabid KKK:
Even George Wallace Sr. changed his way of thought about skin colors (shades) unlike his freckle-free persona day job as Guv-nah. Tho, he was a 33rd degree Mason. (His son, George Wallace Jr., is running for Lt. Gov. of Alabama, haven't checked yet how he fared, all this wih he runnig as a Republican!!) Rubbing elbows and drinking iced lemonade with the pillowheads and sheetskins is the way George Sr. grew up. The conscience of a preschooler who is brought to a night rally with flaming torches all-around is a mighty big sliver for the moral upbringing brought on by Albert Arnold Pike ... the "father" of modern American FreeMasonry. Each Lodge has its own code of ethics and is Generally-Speaking "strictly enforced."

Evicting 18-year-olds:
Nah, depends upon how much brainwashing the outside world has invaded their Garden of Eden thought processes. Public school works for some - other go with Private schools. Yet other opt for Homeschooling. Hey, Plato said the 'youth were running wild' in his day ... the difference being it's a bit more simplified now with all the electronic buzz. Your mind is our only design...

Poor vs. Rich neighborhoods:
Affixing a $100 to one's forehead is indeed a risky business venture in a "poor" neighborhood controlled by crack and meth dealers (with the ultimate overlords being the police force.) Then on the other side of (the) Down and Out in Beverly Hills facade is some "bum" with an affixed Franklin on his forehead wandering the back-alleys foraging for scraps of organic food tossed by the Richy Rich class. On the other side of the same reality-driven downer ... should the Poor Nick Nolte wander out onto the frontside of the Mansions he'd be rousted by the police and stand before the Man as a public nuisance and hustled off to the city-limits perimeter to his own class of sub-strata neighborhoods. Perhaps chased off that block by Jack Nicholson with a 9-iron.

Officials insist the growth is all organic and strenuously deny any organic tampering. (photo)

Occidental & Oriental sages agreed that the best life had to offer was tending a garden in obscurity. That along with the badge of honor in the front, came the fear of the daggar in the back.

And now we see how exercise sharpens the mind while it strengthens the muscles. And we see how the food you grow yourself, you know is not contaminated with toxins, and we know that maximal development of the mind requires the trace minerals and micronutrients to be absorbed by the veggies growing in what we now call 'organic' soil.

Diogenes used his middle finger to point out a sophist, and when the man got angry, showed how he was not a philosopher. Epictetus mentions how those who go about with the brow raised, with long hair, and the long robe, eat at the tables of the rich, pretending to look like, but not be, philosophers.
