So this story, "Why are people eating their own trash?", was posted in the GLP left margin for a while.

An example of the stacking of a mountain of wrong assumptions, which would seem to serve an unspoken agenda.

I warn you folks, this is propaganda with an agenda, and some of us would rather avoid other peoples organizations agendas of public manipulation, in favor pealing back those sorts of things. Perhaps more shocking are other much more serious marine issues that go completely unmentioned.

Don't get me wrong, I am an environmentalist at heart, and mourn for the damage that industrial people do to the environment, and for how some humans oppress their fellow humans and other beings.

I do not deny that there is a gyre of plastic in parts of the oceans, I have know about this for decades and it is logical, and it is not good, but the issue being made has an agenda of smoke-screen.

I also met some young filmmakers who were traveling around the world, being paid a considerable amount of money to document and promote this cause. They filmed and interviewed me about 6 months ago in fact, but I haven't heard anything about that since then.

But this is an example of propaganda supported by an agenda which is not what it appears to be at face value.
