I know exactly what small certified organic farmers do, and bathing them is pesticides is NOT what they do. They use pesticides very sparingly, if at all. The organic operation down the road practices IPA, or integrated pest management. The Wiki on this is very accurate.
I am well aware that "natural" doesn't mean harmless. A single leaf of a water hemlock will kill a cow in minutes, for instance. It also doesn't mean your food is organic, either. Inorganic pesticides kill all the micro-organisms in the soil, which are things that help plants grow. Which is why conventionally produced crops need ever increasing amounts of inorganic fertilisers, so crops can still be produced in them. Then all that extra fertiliser runs into local streams and rivers, which produce huge algae blooms which choke out all life underneath it. Check out what the "Green Revolution" did in India in the 60's and 70's. It wasn't good, and modern day farmers there are committing suicide because of it.
The idea of a certified organic farm is to use naturally produced pesticides and fertilisers that will do the least harm to the micro-biome in the soil, and by extension, the people or animals who eat the produce grown in that soil. But keeping the soils healthy is the #1 job of a certified organic farmer. Shit soils...no farm.
Almost all the soybeans grow in the US are Monsanto Round-up Ready, which are genetically modified to be immune to Round-up, which is probably going to be blacklisted in the next few years, thank Jah, if only to keep people who buy it from the hardware store from using it.
They definitely shouldn't be grown in wilderness areas.
I'm saying organic is a marketing term because, just because they're certified, doesn't mean they don't use dangerous pesticides. I frequently see organic advertised in the store as not being treated with pesticides, which is an outright lie. Naturally derived ones can be just as dangerous as synthetic ones. They weren't tested for a longer time than synthetic, because of the false belief that natural=good. Now that they're being tested more, they're being found just as toxic. They are being "continually bathed" in these pesticides, more so than conventional crops, because they are less effective, and thus require more to do less.
I'll have to differ with you on the "Certified Organic" label. There is a certification process you must go through in order to carry that label. At least one of the requirements is that you haven't used inorganic pesticides or fertilisers for 7 years. "Certified Organic" doesn't mean the food is any more nutritious than conventionally grown crops, it just means it's not continually bathed in an alphabet soup of stuff you really shouldn't be eating. And that your tomato doesn't have mouse genes in it.
IMO, food crops of any type shouldn't be grown in designated wilderness areas. That's why they're called wilderness areas. The same should hold true for all land owned by the US. But that's just a pipe dream.
That is really lovely! I have heard that the Mormons can be very a very supportive community. I just feel for the kids of Mormon's who are not straight.
*meh* Not really. Movies have to follow a particular pattern in order to "work" (i.e., fit into what moviegoers can accept), and thus are much, much more limited than any book can be. Movies tend to diminish themes rather than enlarge them because of those rather tight constraints. So ironically, although you can now see it, there's a lot less there to see.
Only insofar as any jury would. As others are saying, this is not in any way an unusual request. Juries ask to have common legal phrasing explained all the time. There's no reason to take a negative view of it.

Hey, thanks for the update on Fiona. Definitely improved my day. Flamingoes too.
That is just fucking disrespectful. They can't be bothered to check that they have the right picture. GRRR.
Though I find "RE-define" resonable doubt somewhat puzzling.
There is no sound in space. They just mime playing.
Here is a recording for you to listen to:
