This DVD (Distorted Morality) presents a scathing, yet fair and logical thesis by renownedDistorted Morality deserves the widest possible audience as, Chomsky's thesis has attained the chilling status of prophesy; his morality is crystal clear, immune to the obfuscation of politics and mainstream news.
From the back cover, Noam Chomsky is a renowned scholar, the founder of the modern science of linguistics, a philosopher, a political and social analyst, a media critic, an author of more than 70 books, a winner of numerous prizes and awards, and ranks with Marx, Shakespeare, and the Bible as one of the 10 most quoted sources in the humanities. In this remarkable DVD, Noam Chomsky offers a riveting but devastating critique of the current War on Terror--arguing, in fact, that it is a logistical impossibility for such a war to be taking place. Professor Chomsky presents his reasoning with astonishing and refreshing clarity, drawing from a wealth of historical knowledge and analysis. "Only those who are entirely ignorant of modern history will be surprised by the course of events, or by the justifications that are provided..." Anyone who is serious about trying to understand world events since September 11th cannot afford to miss this.

The intent of this forum is to highlight the approaches taking place that are contributing to a strengthened agricultural and food system. We'll examine agriculture and agri-food policy from the perspective of impacts and issues that are felt at the community level. Moreover, we'll discuss local and regional efforts that contribute to social, cultural, ecological and economic sustainability and the growing consumer demand for food products that are ethically and ecologically produced for Canadians by Canadian farmers making liveable incomes through value chains.
