Family
So...the other day I was talking to a friend of mine who said she had not talked to her twin sister in about three weeks. I commented on how that was a long time, considering the fact that they both go to the same school. She said that it wasn't too bad, and that you get sick of your family after a while. All I could think was, "WHAT?!?!!?!?!?!?" I guess I have a high familial tolerance, but I never get sick of my family. Over Christmas I did get sick of not having my own room, but I still would rather have had all the family there than have my own room.
It seems to me that if families are really eternal, which they are, then our families are the people we should never get sick of. That may take some practice, but I think it goes along with the idea that instead of being nicer to strangers, we should be the kindest to our family members. If we are kindest to our family members, we will love them the most. I don't always do a good job with the kindness thing, but the more I see of other families, I realize that ours is really unique in the love and friendship that we share.

Well all-
This post is for all of my family who think I am behind the times. For anyone else who my stumble across this...here is a small explanation. All but one of my siblings have blogs. They have been urging me to get one, also. I find this a little funny because some of them (Bobby) have not posted since they first signed up. Oh well. I don't really have much to write about. I am in college. My major may bore most people. I feel like all I have to write about is fertilizer (literally- that was my most recent class today).
Soo...since most blogs are opinion pages, here's something I wonder about all the time: What is with "Organic" food? I have taken Organic Chemistry. I know the definition of the word "organic." I think most people do. (For those who don't, "organic" simply refers to any chemical compound that is based around carbon.) All food is organic (with a few exceptions, like hot dogs and twinkies :P). If it weren't, it would not be food. There are some people who think that organic foods that have not been genetically altered or spatially challenged are the way to go. But I say, instead of spending a lot of money on things like organic pears and free range chicken, why don't we spend money on feeding the world. Some people are so worried about what is "Natural," or about animal rights that they forget the natural affections we should have for our own species. Shouldn't our number one priority be to feed the world a balanced diet? If so, we should do everything we can to bring about that goal, and then consider how we can make life more comfortable for the other species living on the planet.
This may seem like I am against anything environmental. On the contrary. I am all about reducing, reusing, and recycling. I just think that we should start out with reducing the number of human deaths due to starvation (as always, we should do it wisely) first. so, what do you say?
