Why George Monbiot is Wrong: Grazing Livestock Can Save the World
The Guardian L.

Expect the Court to side with the old saw that “all’s fair in love and war.” After all, this is the Court whose majority ruled that dark money is free speech, corporations are people, and the Constitution is a flak vest for pretenders who lie about being decorated war heroes. Wouldn’t the world be a better place if political candidates were held accountable for...
