Farmers and Consumers

Derail The WTO

As the Fifth Ministerial meetings of the World Trade Organization in Cancun Mexico come to a close, media outlets around the world are broadcasting the news that little to nothing was accomplished, thanks to a rightfully belligerent coalition of developing nations known as the G23. Led by African nations who staged a walkout from the talks, Brazil, India and China and the 23 nation coalition essentially refused to negotiate, in protest of the $1 BILLION PER DAY that the wealthy nations of the North spend on farm subsidies—subsidies, mainly to corporate agribusiness and factory farms, that are making it impossible for farmers in the poor nations of the world to compete in the global market. The lack of consensus among WTO member nations themselves resulted in extra media attention on the protesters outside, including the OCA and its 20 person delegation of organic farmers and consumers. Many of the rallies and street marches this past week were dedicated to Lee Kyung Hae, a Korean farm leader who sacrificed his life on the Cancun police barricades to bring global attention to the fact that thousands of farmers and rural villagers are literally dying all around the world due to the policies of the WTO. http://www.organicconsumers.org/corp/cancun_winning.cfm

Electrifying Stunt

(1995, Michigan) Up here in Michigan, seems some poor fella thought it would be a good idea to “move” a downed wire from his car. Newspaper reports it took a FULL MINUTE of neighbors whacking away at him with a 2x4 to free their freshly fried former friend from the fatal flashing.

REPAIRS ON THE ROAD

(March 1995, Michigan) James Burns, 34, of

Alamo, Michigan, was killed in March as he was

trying to repair what police described as a

"farm-type truck." Burns got a friend to drive the

truck on a highway while Burns hung underneath

so that he could ascertain the source of a

troubling noise. Burns' clothes caught on something, however,

and the other man found Burns "wrapped in the drive shaft."

Taoseno Selected to Festival of New Plays Presented by Native Voices at the Autry

 November 14, 15, and 16, 2003

LOS ANGELES (October 1, 2003) – Taos Pueblo Filmmaker James Lujan is known primarily for his documentaries “High Strange New Mexico,” “Little Rock’s Run,” and “Challenger:  An Exploration of Art and Spirit.”  He has also become known in the New Mexico press for both his plans to build a film studio in Taos and for the filmmaking classes he holds through his nonprofit Taos Filmmakers Initiative.  What’s lesser known is his work as a playwright. 

On November 15, Lujan will be getting recognition for his efforts in this area when his play “Kino and Teresa” will receive a staged reading in Los Angeles courtesy of the Native Voices at the Autry Festival of Plays.

The 2003 Native Voices at the Autry Festival of Plays will feature three works by established Native American playwrights. The plays were selected from a nationwide pool of submissions earlier this year and will be workshopped with the playwrights in residence for this staged reading.

Duck Tales

So this duck walks into a bar . . .

and asks "Got any crackers? " Bartender says no. Duck walks out.

Duck walks in the next day and asks, "Got any crackers?" Bar tender says

no. Duck walks out.

Duck walks in the next day and asks “Got any crackers?” Bar tender says,

"Look, I told you yesterday and the day before "no!", and if you ask

that one more time I'll nail your beak shut!" Duck walks out.

Duck comes back the next day and asks, "Got any nails?" Bartender says

no. Duck says "Good. Got any crackers?"

A Hot Place

 A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked,  "What are all those clocks?"
 St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move." 
 "Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?"
 "That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie." 
 "Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?"
 St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life."
 "Where's Bush's clock?" asked the man.
 "Bush's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."
