Wow....I did not know this.

Today I learned that broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts are all man made. This is pretty shocking news to me, and I'm not sure why. Over the years I have read that most fruits and vegetables are genetically modified, but broccoli is completely man made. Kind of crazy if you ask me.

 



Here is pretty much the whole article on this crazy broccoli thing.


"You’re walking through the forest when you come across some wild broccoli on the forest floor, except wait, wild broccoli doesn’t exist!

Broccoli is a human invention. It was bred out of the wild kale plant by carefully selecting for the traits we wanted and discarding those we didn’t.

Start with a wild kale. It has small flower buds and only flowers every other year. In a controlled environment, cause it to reproduces itself many times, and when by chance you get one plant that has larger, tastier buds, throw away the others and start reproducing that one. Next batch you might, again by chance, get a plant with not only larger buds but one that produces them more often. Save that one and keep going.

In selecting and reinforcing the traits we like, human beings have taken a wild kale and bred a new kind of plant altogether, a broccoli plant.

That’s also true of cauliflower, kohlrabi, brussels sprouts, even the yummy form of cabbage you buy in the store. They are all bred out of wild kale, and didn’t occur in nature before."

God is a blackhole?

US Senate trying to pass bill for "Internet Kill Switch"

Well isn't isn't this just dandy. "Land of the free" you say? Yet, you're trying to secretly pass a bill that restricts our freedoms? This seems awfully like the move of an oppressive regime. The only reason they are putting this in place is so during a "national emergency" they can prevent us from moving information. Dirt move.

Link to one of the many articles I got information from:

“It’s hard to get a measure like cybersecurity legislation passed on its own,” Senator Thomas Carper (D-Del.) told GovInfoSecurity.com. Carper is chairman of the Senate subcommittee with cybersecurity oversight.

Under instructions from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Senators Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) are working to combine their separate bills into one that can be attached to another piece of legislation, such as the Defense Authorization Act.

While proponents say an Internet Kill Switch is needed to protect the nation’s power, water and banking grids, what it really is is a way to control the flow of information. Experts have said that the nation’s power and water grids are not connected directly to the Internet.

Lieberman let slip his real thoughts on the Internet Kill Switch in an interview with CNN’s Candy Crowley when he said, “Right now China — the government — can disconnect parts of its Internet in a case of war. We need to have the ability to do that, too.”
