Re: Fw: CS>1820 Sheep die grazing GE cotton land]

May 18, 2006

Guess that is in India. I was wondering where in the

US they still " pick " cotton. I live here in this ____

hole called TX, (for me, I love green and big trees so

I am not too happy living here in the state that

claims dubya;) that grows alot of cotton, Waxahachie

TX was featured in the movie Places In The Heart.

They spray herbicides on it before they harvest it

also so was thinking that that was what killed the

sheep till I noticed in the footnotes the refs were in

India??? I wanted to pick some cotton so I could say I

did it, till I saw the brown dead mess. I would not

even set foot on that land and I roll my windows up

and turn off the air when I drive by all the ag land

around here. The corn is done the same way, sprayed

with herbicides first to kill it:O

In all fairness to Waxahachie TX, it is a darling

town in the old historic district, full of victorian

homes and a very famous old courthouse and THE only or

one of only two, Chatauqua's left in the whole US of

A. I go there alot, it is next to the most toxic town

in the country(newspaper article a few years ago),

Midlothian TX, where five!!!!!!!! concrete plants burn

toxic waste in their stacks. I live upwind of them on

some days, they like to burn on Sundays???? Citizens

sued and sued. Brockovich even came here to help

them. Now the plants have agreed to cut back. I do

most of my wildflower journeying south of there:)
