Meh. Changed quote in the middle of writing that because this one has better provenance, so "That was the next sentence" doesn't make sense. It's been a long day, folks. I'm gonna go have some food.

Yup. That was the next sentence, and there was context in the rest of the quote. A little research found a pretty good page about the whole thing at Roger Clarke's web site. I'm going back to finish it now. Here it is:

Most people attribute it to Stewart Brand.
Stewart confirmed this on Tue, 29 Jun 1999 07:00:58 -0700 in an email to TBTF (thanks Eric Scheid, Keith Dawson and Kragen Sitaker). Stewart wrote:

        "In fall 1984, at the first Hackers' Conference, I said in one discussion session: "On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other." That was printed in a report/transcript from the conference in the May 1985 *Whole Earth Review*, p. 49.

And we're also not focused on the destructive policies of the national administration. From what I've seen of both sets of policies, I know which kind of destruction looks more fundamentally destructive. Destroy food deserts? That's a tough sell but.. ok, fine. Destroy checks and balances on the executive branch? Ummm.......

test321 explained it above.

Old enough to vote instead of eligible to vote is what I meant.

"let citizens vote in local elections after 10 years' residency in New Caledonia, prompting opposition from independence activists worried it will dilute the representation of indigenous people." wait... what? Aren't indigenous people by definition the people who live there? Shouldn't any actual indigene have well over 10 years of residency by the time they're eligible to vote?

All the comments I see so far are ripping on the provider. Don't you see the good part? They didn't waffle. They didn't fauxpologize. They changed it. Instantly. To me this looks like an honest mistake that was corrected as soon as they realized it was a mistake.

What's easy about it? As many prior post point out, cows aren't raised in barns. They wander around and eat grass. It's not going to be easy to change their feed pattern to get them to eat even 0.5% of their feed as this stuff. Although I guess we could supplement their salt blocks to contain the concentrated chemical involved, if that's something that can be isolated and synthesized. I can only imagine the furor that would cause though.
