- 1. MODERN LIFE? IT'S THE BEST YET -

   by Mick Hume

   sp!ked-column

'Ours is a society that has largely lost faith in
its own achievements. Anything that involves human
intervention in the "natural world", from farming
to medical research, is now automatically
considered suspect. At spiked, we think it is time
to take a stand in defence of modern life.'

'Foot-and-mouth is the clearest example of why we

caught the virus are nearly all small to medium
operations.'

'The organic farming movement is a luxury for
people in safe, well-manicured Europe. For less
developed parts of the world, it is irrelevant.'
