Dear SBS

I have long appreciated the quality of programming on SBS but am forced on this occasion to provide feedback for a less than impressive 'pseudo documentary' on genetically modified food production, namely ‘Can GM Food save the world?', screened on July 7 at 7.30 pm.

Into the Fourth Turning
An interview with Neil Howe
Doug Casey first brought Neil Howe to my attention some years ago, when he told me about The Fourth Turning, the prescient book that Neil had written with William Strauss in 1997.

One of Howe and Strauss' key findings from their research was that while many people tend to think of history as a time line that stretches backwards to the first scribbling of human history, and forward into an unknowable future, the reality is closer to a repeating cycle. To use an entire apt analogy, history follows a discernible pattern very similar to that of the seasons.
