Feb. 29th, 2004 03:50 pmToday has been a grand day, so far. However, I am currently high on spray paint fumes. Furthermore, my index fingers are non-functional with the exception of pointing.
The spray paint is for certain wooden, yet inexpensive storage boxes from Ikea. I am painting them in fun blue, yellow and red colors for my study. When the time comes that I no longer like them, I can hide them in the garage in exchange for classier storage devices when I am older, and choose to be more refined. :)

For your consideration
Feb. 29th, 2004 08:48 pmShiva's article on Globalization and Poverty.
I'm not sure where I stand on this yet.
A class did a simulation on the Green Revolution and the effects on its people. This simulation did not give us information about the nature of hunger of the people before the use of the Green Revolution package. Overall wealth went up, but commercial farmers took a higher percentage of the wealth over the subsistance farmers. This simulation does not address diversity of food crops, however.
And I'm reading this article by Borlaug...
