National Geographic 1978

We received boxes upon boxes of old Nation Geographic from J's grandfather.
Ones he has saved since his kids were younger than us today.
It is like opening up treasure.

I love to see hwo the world has changed in the past decades.
Some stories seem so errelavent now, others are timeless.

I have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember.
The girls and I sometimes sit for hours just looking through the pages, reading, discussing, learning.

I recall many a school project researched and adorned from the pages of this iconic literature.

The other day while perusing the pages of a particularly musty issue I came across this advertisement.
What can I say, I had to share it.

MONSANTO.
I have no words to really explain how I loathe this ad, it's photo and it's text.
I actually have to laugh, while I cry, at how far they have come and how they single handedly have destroyed so much in this world.
How do we stop them?
