| The Greatest Human Is Dead
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/blogs...rticle1293395/ Quote: |
But Borlaug – along with other researchers who create the Green Revolution in food production – saved between two hundred million people and one billion people, depending on how you do the math.
| It's amazing how the one guy who has had probably the greatest positive impact on human life was barely known by the majority of the world.

| I know it's a direct quote from the article, but you should change the "But Borlaug" part to his actual name, Norman Borlaug.
I originally thought his name was actually But Borlaug. lol

Admittedly, I did not know about this person, until today, but the article was an informative eulogy.
RIP to a great human, indeed.

The Green Revolution was a failure though, flawed from the start
it only offered a temporary fix and resulted in a far worse situation due to soil pollution, even leaving plots in fallow would be useless.
(so instead of having 1 box of food, they got 4 boxes for a short period of time, then 0 boxes)
but GJ to him for trying

RIP great man.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |
