Tag Archives: not just a song

blowin’ in the wind isn’t just a song.

Many people get ill in the Spring, I even had a chest infection(bronchitis) last week.(written several years ago)

Why?

Well I believe the answer is blowing in the Spring breezes.  Let me explain.

The grass and quick growing spring vegetation starts growing and the towns, cities, counties and home owners, not wanting to work and abhorring green, start spraying poisons of all kinds all over, day after day. These chemicals are not only poisonous to plants but to man and animal alike.  And with the winds are blown every where when applied and when outgassing in the sun.

The people breath this stuff in and then become ill and the illness is just blamed on “it going around”, “I’m old”, “I’m run down”, etc.

The sprayers are waging a chemical war on the world and the weaker people get ill, and the yet weaker ones die and the weeds live on and on.

(Today 11/5/2013)Yesterday, I passed the grounds crew on the medium landscaping on “Turtle Road” (as some prefer to call it), in St. George, Utah. Some of the landscape men were hoeing weeds and others were spraying poison on small cloe to the ground green plants.

There was ice on the water at my house this am, the first freeze.

Question: Why spray poisons on weeds to kill them when they will freeze out soon?

And in the spring why spray on grasses that will wither and die in the approaching summer heat.?

What’s the reasoning?

Make work, waste money, just poison the environment when ever where ever?

You tell me…

The answer is blowing in the wind(in German: Die Antwort weiss ganz allein der Wind) just like the song says. Poisons blowing in the wind.

We won’t have good to sing about if we are all ill from poisons.

Catch you next time.
