I would like to encourage people to join a local community garden program and also let others know this option might exist in their hometown. I found it to be an invaluable way to grow healthy food and meet people from all walks of life. We

I'm not aware of any government regulation to enforce convenience. If given a choice, most people will choose instant convenience if they are not aware of the long term effects of this decision. Hence the lack of education part.

I don't understand it either, so I had to come up with an explanation for myself. I think it is controversial because the cost of this transition is not priced into the modern human lifestyle. So either the lifestyle changes or it gets

Ah, Godwins law again. The US perspective matters only in the US. That is my point. I'm also sure protecting children from the harmful actions of their parents has nothing to do with killing people. Children should have someone on thei

A democratic society agrees on laws, that can be changed through a certain process. Germany decided that not only the parents are responsible for the education of the next generation, but also the government. Therefore the equivalent to the
