<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Calibri>While the Video was politically slanted to
influence Immigration Policy within the USA, the facts of the matter are that
there are a lot of poor people in the world, who are struggling to keep
alive. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Calibri>My posting is not about the Tea Party, Racism,
Propaganda, Politics, or Roy Beck. My posting was about the facts that he
presents in a dramatic and understandable manner. I feel that these cruel and
sad facts are very important, and that their consequences can be of great
importance to the nature and extent of increased use of biochar, and improved
stoves, in the "Bottom of the Pyramid Market."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Calibri>Biochar will rise or fall on its own merits.
Nothing bad I can say against Biochar will retard its general acceptance, if its
fundamentals are good. Your Ad Hominum attacks are futile. They won't sell
a pound of biochar. If you actually want to expand the use of biochar into the
"Bottom of the Pyramid Market", all you have to do is address the issues I
raised below in my first point:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Calibri>
<DIV style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.22em"><FONT style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.22em" size=4
face=Calibri>1: ===> What can biochar do for these people, and what would it
have to cost, to be affordable to them?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.22em"> </DIV>
<DIV style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.22em">Would you not agree that addressing the above
issues is a good place to start?</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN style="WHITE-SPACE: pre" class=Apple-tab-span></SPAN>I am not going
to respond. There is close to zero connection between US immigration
policy and your questions. I take your questions to be an excuse to
bring in a non-germane video by a master propaganda artist.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="WHITE-SPACE: pre" class=Apple-tab-span></SPAN>I googled for
Roy Beck and didn’t like what I saw. Others should look at what is said
by an organization I admire (<A

</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Beck is listed as a mentor for my former Congressman, Tom Tancredo
- who is as racist as they come (just came in second in the Colorado
Republican Gubernatorial race). I can’t believe that Beck has any
interest in increasing US Foreign Aid for topics like biochar and char-making
stoves. The American people (even R’s) are overwhelmingly for the
immigration reform bill already passed by the US Senate. It is held up
by the Teaparty R’s - for what seems to me to be rcist reasons. Why US
immigration policy is important to you, a Canadian, is unclear. I am not
for increasing immigration; I am for passing this reform legislation -
opposed by Tancredo, the Tea Party and Beck</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="WHITE-SPACE: pre" class=Apple-tab-span></SPAN> In any
case, this list broke off from the stoves list - which is where your second
question belongs, as I’m sure you know.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="WHITE-SPACE: pre" class=Apple-tab-span></SPAN>There is
plenty on this list archives to answer your first question. You have
continually knocked everything possible about biochar - and this seems in the
same vein, although veiled.</DIV>
