These pictures you took are beautiful! Thanks for sharing them with this post!
I totally agree with your position you laid out in the intro paragraph. Monocultures are basically dead land (in terms of biodiversity). And as for democracy, well... not much to add to that statement. I ageree on that one pretty much. The "masses" just receive the information that is needed to move most of them into the desired directions. Unfortunately, not many people are willing to take the time and effort to look "behind the scenes" and for some additional information from different points of views. To see the complete picture.
Take care dear @anttn and have a nice rest of the weekend!
