Watched Newsnight's programme about our 'Unsustainable world' - basically concerning the increasing food shortage - and found myself becoming incredibly pissed off every time they began to talk of a debate between 'science' and, well, anti-science with regards to agricultural methods. I hate it when people who ought to know better start using such outdated, misleading and just plain stupid jargon: in this case, there is no 'anti-science' merely different ideologies arising as a result of scientific data. Organic farming is as scientific and technologically advanced as inorganic farming, it just uses different methods. Of course technology and science will have a say in how our farming progresses, you dolts - that's pretty much all farming ever was.

Why can't people just think? What's wrong with a little clarity? Stop using these words to mean something they don't, or to convey an idea that you don't actually have. It's just come to the point where it's really beginning to annoy me, because these are quite important issues and unless we keep a firm grip over this disease we call language, we just slide into the worst sort of chaos.
