I think there is a disingenuous aspect to the furor over employers being forced by law to cover birth control for women.
In 26 states this had already been the law of the land for several years. Ma ... |

Here's the thing about distribution curves: No matter how big that middle part looks, someone falls outside it.

I'm pretty sure that our "magical thinking" is our imagination that brought us out of the caves.

You may be growing hybrids but I don't think any GMO plants are available for home use.
