This morning, I woke up at 3:45am to see if I could photograph the space shuttle Endeavor travelling the final 2 miles along Martin Luther King Boulevard to it's final home at the California Science Center. It was a surreal experience seeing this mythical machine that as a child existed somewhere between science and science-fiction rolling past you at half a mile per hour.
It's voting time! I got my absentee ballot yesterday and am hanging chads as I write this post. When I got to Prop 37, I wasn't sure what to do. Lots of commercials on TV were telling me to vote no, but then I saw that my good friend the amazing Frohawk Two Feathers recorded a public message for all Californians. Let's take a look together, shall we?
Election day, November 6, 2012 is fast approaching, and Californians have the opportunity to pass this very important law.
Proposition 37 would require food sold in supermarkets to be labeled if it contains genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.
Studies have shown links between GMOs and cancer, allergies, and organ toxicity.
Monsanto and other GMO and pesticide firms have contributed nearly $35 million to oppose Proposition 37.
All of Europe, Russia, India, Japan and China require labeling of genetically engineered food, and so should we.
We are what we eat, and we have the right to know what we are eating!
