Re: Town of East Haddam suing developer of former resort

The old Klar Krest resort was a turning point in my life. Worked a summer there at age 18, fresh from Arizona, and met wonderful kids and adventures. So sorry it's not being preserved.

I pray to God that the photo that you posted in this article of the wooden covered bridge in Johnsonville is NOT the bridge that is being repaired/replaced?

HAHAHA.... yeah, Trooper Sevigny, you find out who threw that rock... just like you defended a guy who most likey vandalized my car by throwing white paint all over it. You were so full of shit when you mentioned you wanted to hear my side of the story. Still have that email, and printed copy, of you stating so. Happy New Year, you piece of shit! =) Hope Colchester has financial cuts and you lose your job... or you get shot during a shooting. Won't bother me at all, just like it didn't bother you.

Re: East Hampton Police arrest man who put shotgun to wife’s head

klinwood — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 22:17:27 -0000

Imagine hearing for the first time that you put a loaded shotgun to your wife's head just prior to being placed in front of a judge. It would explain his disoriented state of mind. The EH police were contacted by a man claiming to be a co-worker that was on the phone during some of the incident. They both lied to police by not disclosing that they where having an affair. Can you say motive? Also, the incompetent EH police couldn't figure out that the gun was left in the locked position WITHOUT a shell in the chamber for safety reasons. Could it be they were trying to solidify their case to distract from the chief of police being under investigation for racism and other issues?

She told me she NEVER said he put a gun to her head and did not SEE the gun. During the argument, she said she HEARD what sounded like a shotgun being racked while he was in another room. Turns out it was his bass guitar being slammed into a stand that has a locking mechanism which sounds exactly like a shotgun racking. I've heard it and can confess to it.

This man has never been accused of any crime or domestic violence incident in his life, including the 24 years they have been together. He is an honest Christian man that married a very troubled woman with mental health issues. Amazingly, he has since forgiven her and are working on putting their life back together including getting her the help she needs. The system has failed this man.

Everything you asked is specifically related to biochemistry and biology. If you actually knew anything about it you would know that. Any GMO contamination would be, as it is in Europe, unacceptable in any food trying to pass as a GMO. Yes, the whole purpose of this is to make GMOs such a problem that the will be uneconomic to raise or bring in the 9th largest economy in the world. That is not a secret.

Bernie Mooney — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:02:46 -0000

Okay. You can't or won't answer my questions. Fair enough. None of the questions I raised have anything to do with chemistry or biology. They had to do with the transportation, storage and the co-mingling of different grains. I asked why organic and restaurants were exempt. And I asked about the applesauce. What about my right to know? Are you guys all about that?

Re: ‘Sharing’ misinformation, the downside of social media

Uh no bernie changing the label is as easy as editing a .pdf file and then running it through a laser printer that makes the printing plate, litho or flexo. Changing it takes just as long as that. As for the rest of your comments Bernie, unless you are a PhD chemist like myself or a PhD biologist, you are not even remotely qualified enough to speak to those other issues and I have no interest in discussing them with you. I am not a college instructor any more and I don't need to waste my time on talking to someone who doesn't have the basic education to even understand the issues involved.

Speaking of "no force of law," why is organic food exempt from the law? If transparency is what your goal is, why not labeling across the board. Organic food can be unintentionally contaminated, right?

And if you want to talk misinformation, your campaign has it in spades. Bad science, flawed science and outright lies. Your main contributor is a snake oil salesman who peddles questionable supplements and is against a proposed law that would require him to label his supplements

As to labeling, you are being disingenuous when you claim it's a simple process and of little cost. It's more complex than that and I think you know that. Both gmo and non-gmo grains are harvested, stored, transported, etc by the same trucks, silos, elevators, etc. To 100% insure that there is no contamination, there would need to be separate, well separate everything that I mentioned above.

The law says that the producer has 30 days to correct any problem. Mercola, your biggest donor feels that a 30- requirement is onerous when it comes to labeling his supplements. He claims it will bankrupt supplement sellers.

Also, why are restaurants exempt? Is the gmo food that might possibly be served different than the gmo food you buy in the supermarket?

And can you answer this? This is relating to the definition of natural which you want to redefine. If you take organic apples and make apple sauce without adding or adulterating it in any way, would the resulting product be allowed to be touted as "natural?"

Well after reading this carefully, and being an administer on a page dedicated to Prop 37 and stopping GMOs, I standby the original picture you used from NaturalNews. We posted it on our page and I have no intention of removing it after reading this article. There was a lot of slick PR speech in their e-mails but it is clear that the do not support Prop 37 and their choice of voluntary programs,while nice on the surface, means there is no force of law behind it. If they decide to lie, so what. Now let me add this, I am a PhD scientist who has worked in graphic arts and food packaging for years. Since I have had a hand in producing labels and/or packaging for every major brand out there, the simple fact is that the cost that would be incurred by them to label GMOs is extremly small and could be accomplished in less than a day in reality due to current digital to plate technology. That is the truth. The misinformation has and continues to come from Big Argiculture and Big Food. Let me end by saying this, I am glad you did take the time to write the article Brenda and you did a good job. I just think you need to analyze their PR responces a little more closely.

He has done nothing as a congressman except vote party lines. And you want him to be our Senator. Never returns calls or e mails unless your a big giver to him. How disgusting! Must be alot of promises to some Connecticut residents.
