Namaste Vandana Shiva.

It is a pity that such a great lecture by a global figure, was ruined by a stupid sound-system. The echo is seconds long - WHY?? Could the Unviersity of Santa Barbara not get someone to runa sound system?

"Everyone who enjoys thinks that the principal thing to the tree is the fruit, but in point of fact the principal thing to it is the seed. -- Herein lies the difference between them that create and them that enjoy.” Friedrich Nietzsche

****Worldwide Plant Fruit Trees in 2011***** Fruit trees saved many from starvation during the great depression. If everyone in this world does their part and just plants one fruit tree, it could save lives. We dont know what our world will be like in two years from now.

Angel Saxon business model is horrible and dead. Look at the current state of the U.S., I mean, look at it in facts. It’s pathetic. Greedy pseudo humans, totally drugged, ill fed, stressed, over sexed, under educated, bankrupt. Apparently we’ve to cooperate, instead of compete in the interest of the Rothschilds.

wonderful job, God's earth belongs to us all, not to these greed driven capitalists. Genetic modification will ruin this earth if we don't stand up as one humanity

By the third generation, most genetically modified soy fed hamsters lost the ability to have babies.

WE NEED TO ROUND UP AND DESTROY MONSANTO

@largraf We have no power over GMO, But we can fight back....****Worldwide Plant Fruit Trees in 2011***** Fruit trees saved many from starvation during the great depression. If everyone in this world does their part and just plants one fruit tree, it could save lives. We dont know what our world will be like in two years from now.

[largraf]

@FruitTrees4Life  Yes, I've already told others the same thing, especially those in my community.

[FruitTrees4Life]

@largraf Thanks Largraf!!! Its the best thing I can think to do for humanity.

[largraf]

@FruitTrees4Life As important as the seed & the fruit R, what's even more important is the seed of a human being. The type of seed that a human being is determines the kind of fruit it will exhibit in its life. The condition of our world today is due to the rottenness caused by a few bad apples some time ago that's now infected the entire barrel. As important as ur mission is, without extricating those bad apples and the damage they've caused in the world, the barrel will only get rotten again.

nice

Great teacher, person and worldmother! There is a book by Linda Lay Shuler, "She Who Remembers" about how the wisdom of woman has to be passed on, by storytelling and by practical examples.

Dear Vandana Shiva, you´re one of those who remember, and more importantly, who takes responsability to pass on this ancient wisdom. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the inmense work you do and your coherent voices on these issues, and for using your knowledge for the best of humanity

[AquariaNetTV]

That's nonsense, what she just said regarding motherhood and patriarchy. I'm not for or against patriarchy, any more than I am for matriarchy or any other "archy"..However feminist are major contributers to this poor notion of motherhood. It's these staunch feminist who do more to undermine and devalue motherhood than any "patriarchy" that exists today.

Most patriarchy proponents are religious and they highly esteem motherhood and encourage women to be mothers , family oriented .etc

Those Hijackers are suffering from memory loss, and need to register everything, in the case of epidemic global memory loss, caused by their imperialistic narcistic greedy war against Source Creator.

[maryartemis1]

Let's hear more from this lady. . ....It's 2010 now and I want to hear more

[SovereignBlade]

I am always amazed at a crusader who is obviously brave and intelligent person that exposes some unfortunate traits. I have heard dismissive and arrogant gender bias before but this lady is rife with it. How unfortunate because the subject at hand is deadly serious. The Globalist elite are likely working with the brains behind Monsanto. They would like nothing better that to force us into the world collective plantation as serfs.. good work.

@litteltank1

GIVE ME A BREAK! YOU ARE AS BAD AS THE WORST EVILDOER IN THIS SCENARIO. Don't you SEE that? GET A SPINE, A MIND, AND A HEART

[IngeniusDutchDesign]

@maryartemis1 On the other hand: littletank1 changed his mind for the better. I think we should encourage that!

[teamgrn]

monsanto should be charged with crimes against humanity. the corporation- person can be deemed a phychopath and unfit to continue

[theegapman]

Thank you Dr. Shiva... I respect, admire, and get inspired by your courage, commitment, and strength. Seed belongs to human kind.

[eilyac]

She truly is spreading the truth. I intend to buy organic seeds this weekend in preparation for spring planting. I am inspired and profoundly affected by her words.

[vikramtheone]

The acoustics are too bad.... nice speech....

[Blighnaut]

Thanks Americans for making me feel ashamed to be an Western.

[Delectated]

And thank you for being a bigot, assuming all Americans are the same and that there are no ignorant people of other nationalities around the world.

[VoltronCentriCommand]

unauthorized inevitably always seem to offend somebody in a patriarch. this is my enemy. i support ANY protection from big business proprietary ordained ownership and trade of the univeral liberties and the essential divinity that is intrinsic in all life, thank you for protecting the inherent rights of everyone.

[lajodster]
