Hello friends at the garden! The case of Dennis is one of many of this type, where organic growers have their produce poisoned by neighbors. It is an opportunity to bring this whole question to the forefront ( I see a parallel to the McLibel case) . In any case, it would be nice for him to feel supported, as he wrote me that until now he has been completely alone in his struggle. In fact what is being tested IN COURT is to what point do people have the right to poison others without their consent. If Dennis loses this case, it will be a precedent saying that agrochemical farmers ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for what happens with their poisons. I think all of you catch onto the symbolic significance of this case, and the immense opportunity it offers. It would be interesting if we all transmit this case to as many organizations and persons who might be interested in it. It is a marvellous opportunity for humanity to make a big step forward... Marsha
