A zone change permitting an LED sign at a Bordeaux church received preliminary Metro Council approval Tuesday, even after neighborhood activists warned of a dangerous precedent set by allowing brightly lit signs in neighborhoods.
"This bill seems to involve a small and harmless change," said Gene TeSelle, on behalf of the Nashville Neighborhood Alliance. "But as it turns out, it does affect all the districts and all the neighborhoods in Metro."
At issue is an ordinance accommodating a proposed Specific Plan that would allow the Temple Baptist Church at 3810 Kings Lane, near Clarksville Pike, to build a 96-foot LED (light emitting diode) sign containing a 33-square-foot reader board. Under current Metro zoning code, the church is too close to residential homes to use an LED sign.
For years, LED signs have proved contentious in Nashville, with neighborhood activists decrying the color-lit illumination. Opponents fear allowing one church to mount an LED sign would pave the way for other religious institutions in Nashville –– no matter where they are –– to do the same.
The Temple Baptist Church situation is somewhat unique because it would rely on an SP change. It would be Metro's first LED church sign to come through this mechanism.
"SP zoning, I don't think is appropriate for LED signs," said Charlotte Cooper of Green Hills. "To rezone .02 acres of 28 acres of property –– that's spot-zoning."
But dozens of church members –– far outnumbering opponents –– attended a Tuesday public hearing to speak for the LED sign, which would replace a sign destroyed in a recent storm.
"Temple Church is a very, very important institution in the North Nashville community," Glen Johnson told council members.
"After the storm, any time you need to make a change in the [sign] message, someone has to climb a ladder to get up and change each letter to communicate," he said.
The Metro Planning Commission recommended disapproval of the SP, but the council –– acting on the request of bill sponsor Councilman Lonnell Matthews Jr., who represents the area –– approved the bill on second reading Tuesday.
The bill now heads to the council's Planning, Zoning and Historical Committee. Before the council considers the ordinance on third and final reading, members hope to find a way to prevent Temple Baptist Church's permitted LED sign from establishing a full-scale county standard.
"I know there's a lot of talk about precedent, and there's a lot of talk about how the church is approaching getting approval for the sign," Matthews said. "I want to work through those issues.
"If there's a way to do the sign and protect other neighborhoods, I'm all for that," he said. "This is not something the church is trying to rush."
Councilman Jason Holleman, who represents the Sylvan Park area, said he received several emails from his own constituents regarding the Temple Baptist Church sign proposal.
"I do think there are some legal issues here that we have to work through," Holleman said.
I think it would be a bad idea to let this happen. Once you let them cross the line, then they're one step closer to you.
Even living outside of the metro area of Knoxville, it's hard to see most stars anymore. I would make a case against the brightly lit sign because it won't be shielded to keep light from going upward and further obscuring the night sky. However, you probably can't see the night sky in Nashville anyway.
It's weird, as a child I could still see the spiral arm of the Milky Way in the sky whenever I stepped outside. My children have never seen it. Few people give thought to light pollution.
"somewhat unique?"
Is that like being a little bit pregnant?
I think god can find them without the sign...
Even though "Sign Pollution" is throughout our city in ever growing
versus smaller locations there is absolutely no reason to approve
this sign. Any church or business can get a message across within
the current sign ordances without resorting to these distracting
and flashing ones! No place for Councilmatic courtesy on this
county wide problem.
Good morning, Nashville!
As for what to do about a proposed, mega-bucks, 96 foot-long, LED, super-sign, all I can ask is: "What would Jesus do?"
Christ got his message out just fine without needing sophisticated super-signage...the pastor(s) at this church need gaudy. glitzy, electronic visual aids to get their message out, or so it appears.
Of course, Christ did not have the kind of money and political influence that the pastor of this church has....Councilmen jump when this pastor barks.
Sounds like this "temple" is a highly profitable enterprise, with demonstrated political influence.
One wonders what sorts of messages will be displayed on the hi-tech electronic billboard....most likely exhortations to tithe one's @ss off...those signs ain't cheap and the pastor needs new designer shoes.
Sounds like this "temple" could use a good outside audit....it looks like lots of cash is moving around inside that tax-free entity....and lots of political clout is being brought to bear upon the state, by a church.
This whole matter has a distinct stink upon it, IMHO....it's that old church vs state conundrum. Thank God, it's good for an occasional laugh.
If climbing a ladder is their worry, why not put the sign on the ground? Shops all over Brentood do this and they seem to do fine.
Climbing a ladder brings one closer to God...let 'em keep on climbin'....they could certainly use some assistance from on high.
How big is 96 feet? The trailers on most over-the-road semis are 50-55 feet long...this super sign is nearly as long as two of those trailers. That's effin HUGE.
And they want to put this monstrosity up in a residential neighborhood?
They're joking, right?
This sign, if approved, will probably touch off a "Sign War" between the competing temples, churches and whatevers...."My sign's bigger than your sign - My God's bigger than yours."
As I have said before, Holy Wars Suck.
My outsider's advice to the Council is to say, "NO", to this proposal....you will be opening up Pandora's Box, if you vote, "YES".
I don't see any problem with the sign. It just involves newer technology. Apparently people had concerns when electric lights were first used. The electric light "hurt their eyes," or "could blind them," etc. What is the inherent danger with using some kind of new and different technology?
One is forced to ask, how much does a sign like that cost to buy, install and operate? Who gets the kickback? WTF is going on here?
Taxpayer, I don't think that the novelty of the technology is frightening people...it's the "IN YOUR FACE" proselytizing that signs like this are designed to do...that's the turn-off for most reasonable people.
In this particular case, the signage is too close to residential housing, according to this article. That's a legitimate concern.
As a taxpayer, aren't you somewhat put off by a wealthy, tax-exempt church pressuring government for concessions in such a brazen and arrogant manner? That would tick me off, buddy...but I don't pay your local taxes...you do.... Give 'em Hell.
Hypocrisy and Bronze age BS is their business, and business is GOOD! There's a SUCKER born every minute! "Pastor" Maury "Throat sitter of old women" Davis (RICH CON-MAN), will be ordering his even bigger and flashier sign to make more MONEY with his lies and "Dog & Pony Shows, poisoning the minds of young children and fleecing his "Flock of Fools"!...$ucker$... GOD is all for it! $$$$$$$$$$$$$
T-Bone, you say the Honorable Holyman bears false witness...please elaborate.
I'd like to see churches pay taxes, personally.
If the churches, temples etc. paid taxes, they would absolutely take over...this democratic republic would become a theocracy overnight, should we ever tax the churches...they would DEMAND representation...like they do in the "Holy Land" region.
As it stands, we can tell the tax-exempt churches to butt out of governance...they don't always listen to that admonishment, but at least we secularists can try to get some daylight between church and state with that line of reasoning.
I don't think that God is behind this sign. I wonder if Bobby Joslin has anything to do with it?

This is not Brentwood and I don't see the neighbor wanting it to be anything like Brentwood.
Even is Churches are not taxed, the businesses the Church owns, should be. Church, in most cases, is a business now, instead of a religion and they are bilking taxpayers every day.
Nemo, I think you have a valid point about Joslin!
i don't mean to sound self-centered but i just e-mailed my councilman, walter and asked for his help in getting my backyard fenced off to protect my property and perhaps my life, poor Mr. Wisdom, from stray dogs and stray people who walk right by me as i am walking, picking up trash or tending my garden in my own yard.
if a sign is going to influence how people respect and love one another, then i'm all for it, otherwise who needs it?
i asked my nephew, who appears on 3 of lalanai's songs what was he planning on doing with his young life? he said that he planned to use his voice to get others to use their minds. i said try to appeal to their hearts., as well, for that is where all of the evil lies.
i find a lot of people who pay far more attention to what's on the outside than what's in.

Mr. GarrrIson, as a member of this church that is being criticized to "high heaven," I would greatly appreciate you correcting the size of the sign. It is not 96 feet. It's 96 "square" feet. What that means for those of you don't know how to compute square footage is that the sign is significantly smaller than what you folks are railing on about. You guys at the City Paper generally get things right, but not this time. The much maligned Tennessean at least got the sign dimensions correct.
NEWSFLASH! Codes has no idea what they're doing! Next up! The sky is blue! Scene at 10.

Miralem Pjanic insists he is happy at Roma and will not leave, even though he is "aware of Tottenham's interest."
The midfielder has repeatedly been linked with a January transfer to White Hart Lane, especially after a row with Coach Zdenek Zeman.
"The start of the season has been complicated by the injury and the new style of football the team is adopting, which is more direct and less constructed," Pjanic told L'Essentiel.
"I have faith in my capabilities and the club has been close to me during this difficult period.
"I am aware of Tottenham's interest, but I have no intention of leaving Roma. The club was clear, I have a three-year contract and without doubt will remain here.
"Our problem in Serie A is that we are dropping points, but are perfectly capable of competing for the top three positions."

It was merely 20 days ago that the Philadelphia Eagles were on a long plane ride home from Seattle after suffering a demoralizing defeat at the hands of Tarvaris Jackson and the Seahawks.
It was their fourth such kind of loss out of their previous five games and the season was all but over. The pitchforks and torches were out in Philadelphia and everyone wanted the heads of Andy Reid and Juan Castillo on a platter.
At the very minimum, Juan Castillo had to go. Sure, everybody knew that ultimately Reid had put Castillo in that position, but it was more about Reid owning up to his mistake.
Simply put, Castillo was just in way over his head and it killed the Eagles' chances of making the playoffs. The team absolutely needed a new defensive coordinator to compete in 2012.
There was even this tasty little nugget from Jason La Canfora of the NFL Network where he reported that Andy Reid was likely to remain coach as long as he hired a new defensive coordinator.
The Eagles' defense was a complete mess; blown fourth-quarter leads, blown coverages, players looking confused and without confidence, poor tackling, horrible in the red zone and of course, couldn't stop the run — were all painfully obvious to those who witnessed the debacles.
Fast forward three weeks and two straight victories later…
Now everyone is singing praises for Juan Castillo and the recent defensive success. Granted, the defense has played better these past two weeks and Castillo does deserve some credit.
The statistics for the past two games tell the story of just how well the defense played:
Total yards given up – 445
3rd down efficiency – 8 for 25
Red zone efficiency – 3 out of 8
First downs allowed – 24
Sacks – 13
Turnovers – 7
Points allowed – 29
Nnamdi Asomugha credits the defensive turnaround to Castillo's development as a coordinator. Basically, Asomugha thinks Castillo has learned to call defenses better and therefore the players are more confident in what they're doing.
Conversely, Castillo thinks that the recent resurgence is more due to the players finally catching on.
Whatever the reason, the defense has played better these past two weeks. It's more likely a combination of the two because it is logical to think there would be a significant learning curve for the inexperienced coordinator and a bunch of new players.
However, another reason for the recent defensive success could have to do with the quality of the offenses they have faced.
Ron Pasceri of Bleacher Report posted a nice article showing how the offenses of the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets have been playing pretty good football over recent weeks, but struggled against the Eagles.
Basically, the premise is that he's trying to say that the Dolphins and Jets' offenses are not as bad as you might think and that you shouldn't discount how good of a job the Eagles defense actually did.
On one hand, I don't disagree. The Eagles' defense played very well in forcing turnovers, pressuring the quarterback, limiting first downs and most importantly, limiting red zone scoring.
If you can do that against any NFL offense, that's an accomplishment.
However, I just can't get over the fact that it was the Jets and Dolphins. Their offenses are ranked 21st and 26th in the league and both have quarterbacks that are mediocre at best.
Yes, the Dolphins' offense has been playing better recently. But if you recall, they lost two key players on offense against the Eagles: left tackle Jake Long and QB Matt Moore.
The loss of Long allowed Trent Cole to record three sacks and Moore was replaced by J.P Losman. Not exactly a winning combination there so of course that would limit the Dolphins' offense.
Mark Sanchez and the Jets' offense work best when they're able to run the ball. Since the Eagles jumped out to a 28-0 lead early in the game — thanks to turnovers — it took the Jets out of their game plan.
Sanchez is no Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers or even Eli Manning. He is not the type of quarterback capable of taking over a game with his passing. Once he was forced into pass-mode, the Eagles were able to just tee-off on him.
And even on his best day, Sanchez is just an average quarterback.
Therefore, I have to conclude that ultimately, you have to put an asterisk next to these last two defensive performances. Yes, they played well but their level of competition was not stellar.
Furthermore, the Eagles were able to jump out to healthy leads these past two games because of early turnovers. That's great, but, what if they didn't get those turnovers?
Would the Eagles be able to go mano e mano with anyone if there were no turnovers (by either team)? Would the defense be able to hold up in a tight game where the opposing offense wasn't forced into an obvious passing situation?
At this point, I'd still say that no, they couldn't. Not until they prove it, that is.
And how would the defense perform against an offense in the top half of the league? The Eagles have played three non-divisional teams who have offenses ranked in the top 15 and were lit up by all three (Falcons, Bills, Patriots).
Just three weeks ago, the defense was lit up by the 28th ranked Seahawks offense.
I think Juan Castillo is a good guy that has the motivation to become a good defensive coordinator. However, I still think Andy Reid should never have put him in this position.
Maybe Castillo will become a good coordinator, maybe he won't.
The problem is, just three weeks ago we were all certain that Castillo had to go. Now, with the past two wins, the picture just became cloudy again.
If the Eagles defense finishes out with "decent" performances against Dallas and Washington, is that good enough to bring Castillo back next season? Would four good weeks, three of which are against questionable offenses, be good enough to keep the faith in Castillo?
Or do you go by what we saw for the first 12 weeks of the season?
These last two games will go a long way in determining Castillo's future. If the Cowboys blow up the Eagles' defense this week, I think that will seal his fate.
If they play well and the Eagles win, is that good enough for Castillo to earn a second year as defensive coordinator?
Decisions, decisions.

For a while now, I have refrained from posting bad reviews. With the exception of my review for Poughkeepsie–and even that book I found good in; if I don't have anything good to say about a book–I just don't say anything at all (i.e. no review is written). I've been encouraged by quite a few people to break that trend and that starts, today.
I disliked this book so intensely, I couldn't stay silent. But before I dive in, let me first say: I have a tremendous amount of respect for writers–fiction in particular. It truly takes a gifted person to 'create' a character. I've said many times that my respect and personal enthusiasm for independent authors is off the charts. Ok, I had to get that off my chest. Now, let's dive in.
In a Nutshell
Consequences, by Aleatha Romig is a dramatic love story that's not good–ok, the story is just bad. Claire, is a meteorologist working as a bartender in Atlanta during the recession. (You know, the current recession that we're repeatedly told is over–that one.) Anthony, is a controlling, domineering, billionaire psychopath.
Anthony abducts Claire and whisks her away to Iowa. Yeah, Iowa. Claire is originally from Indiana so she easily adapts to the change in weather and scenery. While Claire's 'prison' is a gorgeous mansion, it's still indeed a prison. She suffers from repeated physical and mental abuse at the hands of Anthony–the billionaire who has a staff of many who love him–even though he's holding a woman hostage in said mansion and they see the clear signs of said abuse. This goes on, blah, blah, blah…and then the end has a twist to get you to buy the next book. Yes, there are actually 2 more in this series. But this blogger won't be reading them.
Tara's Take
I don't even know where to begin–though you got the gist from above. The storyline of this book is just ridiculous. It was pitched as 'dark' and while the subject matter is such–without being written graphically–it's also beyond unrealistic. I read an awful lot of fiction–some paranormal–so I'm more than happy to suspend reality, but this was on a whole new level.
Claire is repeatedly abused and constantly trying to escape, yet when given the opportunity to go back to the happy life she was living pre-abduction, she CHOOSES to stay with her captor. The man who beats, rapes, humiliates, and abuses her–repeatedly. I think the author was going for a Stockholm Syndrome diagnosis–but I don't buy it. Anthony has no redeeming qualities–oh wait, he's philanthropic–seriously, that's a tax write-off, don't be fooled.
As I stated above, I have honestly tried to stay away from writing bad reviews because I don't want to put that level of criticism in written form. This book was just so bad. Since I obviously couldn't find anything, and I mean–anything, positive to say about this book I will say–kudos to the author for publishing a book, several in fact. Ok…that's as good as it gets for me.
Note: I am fully aware that there are, unfortunately, women who are and stay in abusive relationships. Women who believe they deserve the unkind treatment that they endure day-after-day, who feel they have nowhere to go and no one to turn to and that is not only sad but frightening. No one deserves to be mistreated. In no way do I want to seem insensitive to the women who are in dangerous and abusive relationships. For those women, I pray, and I hope they will get help.

Fukushima Nuclear Disaster Related information
Impressive, isn't it? Yes, well, when it is all dressed up for a photo-shoot with pretty lights and bright colours it is. However, what we have seen at Fukushima in Japan is that behind this glossy exterior there is a massive killing machine. In Fukushima, there are at least 3, and possibly 4, nuclear reactors which are out of control and which are spewing radiation into the environment on a 24/7 basis.
If you have been following events like I have, you probably read one or more forum threads where people who really care, try to find out the truth of the situation. The saddest thing about this whole Fukushima disaster is that Japanese government and TEPCO, the company running the Fukushima reactor site, have not been honest in the release of information. This causes many hardships now for the local people and will cause them disease and death in the future.
You may have thought that this situation is all under control. For some reason, the mainstream media does not want to give this disaster much air-time or print-space. When it does, it often down-plays the seriousness and we do not get the impression of urgency and importance that this event truly deserves.
Perhaps thinking that I am making a Big Deal of this helps you deal with the effects we will all feel in the coming months and years? If you think I am over-dramatising the situation, I invite you to read the following threads and visit the websites mentioned below. Thread Part I is a monster 1400 pages on
If you have any doubts about the seriousness of this disaster, take a look at the building which was reactor No. 3 below. From the photograph, it is not really clear just how large these buildings are. The size of the reactor in the first picture above may give you some clue. If you look at some of the images of the aftermath of the tsunami, you will notice tiny, tiny red fire engines spraying water to cool the fuel rods. If you can find the fire engines, it will give some sense of scale. These buildings are enormous.

Mountain Condo Forsale
We are buying a house up here in Summit and need to sell our condo. Pretty much everything has been renovated since we bought it. Let me know if you are interested or have questions. See link for info and pictures.
What's does the HOA cost? Is the off street parking covered? Do you have an MLS number? Thanks!
HOA is $344 a month but covers everything but electric which is only around $17.00 a month. Parking is not covered. Heat is base board hot water which is awesome.
The HOA is also well off so no assesments in the near future. They are putting in brand new boilers next year without doing any assesments and they just repainted the entire buildings and replaced the membranes on the decks without assessments.
Any open houses coming up soon? Might be a nice motorcycle ride to go check it out :)
Anytime you would like to schedule somthing we can make it happen. Also if anyone is looking for this as a rental property, my wife and I would be willing to rent it from you until our home is finished being build in the spring of 2015.
Bump price has been dropped to $210,000. If anyone is interested in buying this as a rental we have rented it out a few times very easily. We would also rent it from the new owner until our house is finished in the spring so you could have easy income for the first 8 months.
I'd trade you may acre of land in Breck for it.
Is it in Quandrey Village?
No. Loma Verde. Basically up Spruce Creek road above the Crown.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by cdubbs2121, Mar 29, 2013.
Pretty sure the colts added a ton in FA. I would not count them out at all.
They added depth. We added 3 or 4 starters.
They also lost Freeney and Avery.
Record depends on Locker IMO. We just need consistency, atleast 200 yards a game and just keep the defense off the field. If that can happen, with a solid draft, we could surprise many critics this year. I see 7-9 right now, but that's just me setting my expectations low. I could honestly see anything from 5-11 to 11-5 this year. We've brought in some solid vets for leadership, and hoping our young guys like Ayers, Brown, Casey, Kendall, and Locker take that next step.

Gustavo Caballero/Getty Images for Sandals Resorts
We're just two weeks into season 22 of Dancing with the Stars, and we've already lost a pro.
After Mark Ballas injured his back during rehearsal, he was unable to perform in tonight's show with his partner, UFC fighter Paige VanZant.
Van Zant ended up performing her salsa with DWTS troupe member Alan Bernsten, with whom she had only been practicing for the past two hours.
Ballas watched from the sidelines as Bersten and VanZant scored a 24/30 from the judges, which was the highest score of the season so far.
During a camera blocking rehearsal yesterday, Ballas suddenly felt a pinch in his back.
"I think I just slipped a disc," he says. "My back just pinched funny. I'm hurting."
"If Mark can't dance tomorrow, I'm going to have to dance with someone I've never danced with before, so I'm super nervous," VanZant says.
Luckily for VanZant, she didn't have much to worry about. Judge Len Goodman said her salsa was the "best dance so far on season 22."
"I had the MRI today, we're going to get the results later on, and tomorrow they want me to have a bone scan and a CT scan, just to be safe," Ballas told Erin Andrews after Paige's routine. "We're going to get everything smoothed out, but I'm hopeful I'll be back."
Dancing with the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.

An interesting fact about YouTube is, YouTube is founded because the creators of youtube wanted to share some dinner party videos with their friends as email programs wont allow such bigger files. So sharing a particular portion of the video from the whole one is made easy just by trimming the video.
Today we have a web application which helps us to split the Youtube video into specific timeframe as you prefer. You can chop down the video to your favorite parts and share it with friends.
Tubechop is a simple web application with easy use interface. It splits YouTube video to any desired timeframe and allows us to embed in any blog/website. You can chop a funny or interesting section from any YouTube video and share it with friends.
You don't have to go to Youtube.com for searching videos and their urls. Just put your keywords in tubechop and get the videos. Once you have the video, just use the left black bar and right black bar to select the time frame which you want to chop it. Left black bar is for staring time and right black bar is for the ending time of video. Move it around and fix it.
Now hit the chop button, your video gets chopped and you can embed the chopped video to blog/website or even share it with friends on social network.

In regards to a small edit-war going on between an anon. user and user Gvsualan:
Claiming that this craft was constructed by the Royal Navy is idle speculation. Furthermore, using exclusively the "HMS" prefix as the evidence for that fact betrays ignorance, as that prefix is presently in use by multiple naval powers (other than the British, these include the Royal Swedish Navy and the Saudi Navy).
- Well at present, you are wrong about why I made the reversion, which leads me to my next point, you may wish to work on your etiquette, and approach this in a civil manner, rather than approaching me by starting confrontation and insulting me on my talk page. Secondly, I read what you removed and saw no reason for it to be removed, according to our policies, you should have been defending what you removed before you started this little edit war. All I did was revert the page to retain the integrity of the content that was removed without explaination. Finally, the information in question was in the background section not the main content of the article, therefore not compromising the accuracy of the actual article. We know that the Royal Navy remained in existance until a time very near this era. We know they still used the HMS prefix during a time very near this era. Somehow the Saudi and Swedish defense as a possibility of its origin is weak compared to the obvious ties the UK has with New Zealand, as well as the obvious name lineage shared with the two Royal Navy ships that have already bear the name HMS New Zealand. --Alan del Beccio 11:42, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
First, I will approach the etiquette issue. You claim that I insulted you. In fact, I warned you that that was the impression that you were giving users, and gave you the opportunity to defend yourself. I wrote "At present, I am under the belief...". That is not an insult. It is a fact. Had I, instead, written "You are a flagrant elitist, and have no place here." that would have been an insult. Also, in my opinion, it would have been more insulting to simply change the information back without getting in touch with you, the person who had a problem with it in the first place (which is, incidentally, why I went to your talk page).
In regards to the edit itself, let us look at it. The wording that you want is:
The New Zealand was probably built by the British Navy, judging from the "HMS" prefix.
The wording that I prefer is:
The New Zealand was probably built by the United Kingdom, judging from the "HMS" prefix and the name (a former British colony).
Firstly, about the prefix. The first quote states that, because the vessel has an HMS prefix, that it was probably built by the British. That is not a reasonable assumption, as that is not the only organisation to utilise the HMS prefix. However, as you yourself note, Britain has ties to New Zealand. Which is what I added in, and what you removed.
Now, regarding it belonging to the Royal Navy. We know for a fact that the British navy currently controls Britain's marine military force. We know for a fact that it existed in the 22nd century: Malcolm Reed considered joining, but decided against it because of his fear for the water. Ergo, it exists in the 22nd century, still as a marine organisation. A person with fear of the water probably wouldn't have much of a problem joining an organisation if it operated spacecraft, not marine craft. That he didn't join for the aforementioned reason, it is almost safe to presume that the Royal Navy does, in fact, not operate spacecraft.
However, I will not be pursuing this matter. Do what you want, this wiki has left a bad taste in my mouth.

Arguments Against GM Food
List the arguments 'for' and 'against' GM (genetically-modified) crops?
- print Print
- list Cite
The major argument for genetically modified foods is that through modification it becomes possible to grow suoer-sized varieties of certain foods as well as to grow those foods in areas that otherwise would not be able to produce them because of challenges from environmental factors. Genetically modified foods can also be created to offer more nutrients in smaller portions. All of these factors are critically important when we consider the degree to which starvation affects a large portion of our planet. Creating large quantities of nutrient rich food easily is something that scientists see as a potential answer to world hunger.
On the negative side, however, we don;t really know what genetically modifying food products is doing to our bodies when we consume them or to the environment itself. It;s like the butterfly effect - what we do to one thing may have ramifications that are felt thousands of miles away or a century later. Genetically modified foods seem safe NOW but we don;t know what effects they might produce later on down the road - babies with birth defects, land that is no longer able to support intended growth, unintentional cross pollination that destroys existing plant life. The list of negatives is as long, of not longer, than the positives. However, as with any growing science, it comes down to whether or not it seems safe enough to be worth the risk of some potentially negative outcome that we have no way of predicting.
The arguments for and against GM crops are as follows:
In favor:
- They help produce cheaper food, quicker
- They could be manipulated to have less calories, less fat, and sometimes more nutrition
- They can be mass produced to save on man labor
- The more it is made the less people would have to pay for them.
- Foods that are hard to grow, or harvest, will be readily available.
The arguments against could be as follows:
- GM foods might affect pollination as bees and other animals which depend on regular, native crops for their own survival.
- GM crops may be altered, but the alterations may not mix with people. What if, in the process of changing part of the crop humans begin to develop new allergies?
- Manlabor might be precisely what we need in times when the economy is not doing well- GM crops will make machines take the place of humans.
- GM crops might be felt to be something like playing God with what was already made well. Some might feel a breach with morality, or even with nature itself.
Well, one reason for genetically altered crops is that they may be able to grow in harsh conditions--for instance, hydroponic plants don't need soil, other genetically altered crops don't need as much water, or can grow in shady areas instead of full sun. This would help these plants grow in parts of the country which may not be conducive to crop growing. Some genetically altered crops may not even need the space that it takes to grow massive crops.
However, genetically altered plants may cause allergies or have other side effects for those who eat them. They may not be as nutritious as the original plants. Most altered plants do not produce seeds that will grow plants the next season.
Check out the links below for more points.
The major arguments in favor of genetically modified crops are that they offer the potential of increased yields while reducing the amount of chemical pesticides and herbicides needed. For example, some GM crops are "Roundup ready" so that they can be sprayed with a common herbicide which will then kill only the weeds and leave the desired crops alive.
The major negative is that many people see them as excessively risky. For example, studies show that there are weeds that are coming to be more resisant to the chemicals. Some people also think that the modified genes will transfer to other species.
what is the positive side of GM food?
Most of the "for" arguments for GMOs are false. Still;
GMOs can make a plant or animal manufacture a pharmaceutical product.
Against it;
Cross-pollinations have accidentally introduced drugs into the food supply
Cross-pollinations have spread GE genomes into neighboring fields and into the wild, not only injuring the capacity or farmers to choose non-GMO crops but even to injure the genetic variety in the native and wild fields.
GMO seeds can't be saved and thus engineer a form of crop-based feudalism or share-cropping
GMO food crops are restricted to those that can be shipped for a market, thus they tend to supplant local food systems. This has lead to dislocated farm families and workers, aggravating famine; http://www.faminegenocide.com/resources/facts.html
Also unemployment, poverty, homelessness and illegal immigration.
BT crops engineer pesticide to be IN the food instead of "on", where we could at least wash some of it off.
Modifications cause us to eat things that cause unknown reactions, not just allergies but there are disturbing and not fully pursued evidence of causing sterility, genetic changes in the consumer, birth defects and other as yet unrecognized syndromes; http://www.biolsci.org/v05p0706.htm#headingA11
Glyphosate ready crops enforce mono-cropping. Intercropping produces more "product" per acre and tends to maintain soils, while monocropping depletes soil rapidly
Heavy herbicide and pesticide rounds injure both soil and those men and women who work the soil
GMOs reduce crop diversity, which makes crops more vulnerable to disease
GMOs reduce crop diversity, which are critical in finding crops suitable to survive marginal locations and weather extremes
Heavily damaged soils associated with this type of growing simply do not have anything left to impart strong nutrient values to our food. This has led to an overall reduction in food value for every calorie we eat. <scroll to "Myth Two" http://digmybook.com/preview/155963944X/The-Fatal-Harvest-Reader
GMOs are causing activation of super weeds both by the rampant use of one kind of pesticide and by the intra genetic transfer of pesticide-resistant genes or simply pollens
GMO sourced drugs and anti-biotics are accelerating drug-resistant germs
While GMOs promise lowered use of chemicals and the ability to rely on a single set of equipment expensesv, in truth after a couple of years, use of external chemicals rise and overreach the original levels fairly rapidly.
Now the superweeds, both with GE genes and those which have emerged from the wild, are forcing farmers to re-purchase equipment they had had prior to glyphosate dependence
