Switzerland is not a fair comparisonRe: “When will adults take student safety seriously?” March 12 letter to the editorA letter writer in Sunday’s Open Forum asks why Switzerland, which he cites as having the highest concentration per capita of semi-automatic and fully automatic gun ownership in the world, has the lowest incidents of gun violence. Well, it might be that Switzerland has a population of 8.7 million people as opposed to 334 million people who live in the United States. It’s about the size and population of Virginia. It also leads the developed world in environmental protection. It doesn’t have the poverty, the homelessness, the fractured politics, the racism or gun culture that we do.The point is that our numbers, diversity, and history equal a lot more complexity to the problems we need to solve. Comparing apples to grapes just doesn’t work.Jeannie Dunham, DenverWho is the most obsessed about guns?Re: “Assault rifle lapel pins...A senior living resident in Louisville was arrested for domestic violence.

The space has seen many for-profit certification programs get pushed in the wake of not being able to actually call your cannabis organic. Why Not? Schedule I narcotics are not eligible for the National Organic Program by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. States also have started pushing their own organic programs like OCal here in California. While many of those other programs have fallen off, Sun+Earth grew to California, Michigan, Oregon and Washington before this new move into British Columbia with Sea Dog Farm. They note the program was founded by those with a shared commitment to regenerative organic agriculture, farmer and farmworker protections, and community engagement.
