What Does the Texas Fertilizer Plant Explosion
Tell Us About Organic Food?
"Our society is sick!" That's what it tells us! Since the 19th Century, mankind has focused increasingly on all that can be measured, weighed, tasted, touched, and heard. Correspondingly, mankind has increasingly ignored the invisible world, believing instead that what is invisible must be unmeasurable and can't be calculated, some how doesn't exist, has a lesser value--if any existence or value at all! Note, however, that in recent years, sub-atomic physics has discovered its limits in attempting to measure the invisible.
What is Real?--Really?
In other words, although all of us originate from an invisible source, and we obviously have invisible life in us during our earthly sojourn, and at death disappear into an invisible realm--to many in our contemporary society, life itself doesn't really matter (pun intended)! Because it can't be counted!
We Can't Picture Life-Enhancing Cultivation Methods
--So Let's Build Life-destroying Chemical Fertilizer Plants!
The explosion at the West Chemical and Fertilizer Company (West, Texas) on April 17, 2013, was locally devestating, but is symptomatic of our society's overall ills. The U.S. Geological Survey registered it as a 2.1 magnitude earthquake. It killed 15 people and injured up to 180.
How Many People are Sickened, Maimed, and Killed by Chemicals in Our Food?
The plant, although it did not manufacture any products, stored and sold agricultural chemicals and fertilizers to farmers. Here's what the New York Times says:
The Company stored substantial amounts of chemicals used as fertilizers that can become explosive under proper conditions: anhydrous ammonia and ammonium nitrate.
Anhydrous ammonium is stored as a liquid in pressurized tanks and farmers inject it into the soil, where it vaporizes into a colorless, corrosive gas. Ammonium nitrate is usually sold in granular form, and was used in the Oklahoma City bombing [that killed 168 people April 19, 1995].
No Comparison!
Tragic as the West, Texas, bombing is, think of the untold multitudes worldwide who ingest measurable quantities of poisons as they eat and imbibe foods grown by framers who cultivate inorganically, foods sold by distributors who either don't care about organic foods or can't obtain them.
We--humanity--are to blame. We've brought these worldwide tragedies on ourselves.
And only we can change our thinking and the thinking of our fellow human beings!
