I have to agree that it is important to support local farms. Yes, if you can, buy local. We should also not have to buy food that comes from Australia, for pragmatic reasons. Looking at labels can be important if you want to be a conscientious grocery shopper.
There are only two people in my household. I think having a family can change one's perspective in thinking about organic.

Some of us still know about a Bloody Mary, but is that too offensive? Don't they use a celery stick in that?

Actually, I can sympathize with the mole problem. I have a beagle that should eat them and only plays with them. He likes to make friends and hopes they will come back and play. I had to explain to him that they are not "peers", but problems. He's still trying to figure out why it is a problem to tunnel in the backyard. However, he knows enough to stay out of his dog house that is full of wasps. Dumb thing!

Hum, I protest at home and I am still wondering how affect that is... I haven't tried to chain myself to a tree. Would that work?

here's what my husband said:
it's like local and good and cheap.
He means: desert is down the street, it,s cheap, it,s good, and she didn't make it... I like that!

I don't buy organic either. I buy a few items like Hood milk and eggs. Hood just pledges not to use hormones. Otherwise, I buy all regular fruits and vegetables. I do plant a garden and use manure from my neighbor's horses and do not use any pesticides. (Luckily, i haven't needed too yet!) Maybe my garden is considered organic.
I don't buy organic, because it is not a priority for myself or my husband. We are both in good health and feel unless there is a good reason to change our food purchasing habits, we'll stay on the same path. We are educated about the health reasons which inspire buying organic, but it is not enough to motivate us to spend the extra money or shift money around.
I think some folks can go crazy about this organic thing. I have heard claims that it makes them feel 100% better, but I'd like to blame that on the placebo affect. So, Henry I agree with you.

I am a supporter of Amtrak, riding between St. Albans and NYC. I did not grow up in Fairfax and often use the train to go home NYC/NJ. I find with an AAA discount, the ticket price is cheaper than the cost of flying, but still more expensive than gas. For me, the train ride can be relaxing and provides time to study, plan curriculum, or just read. I can’t complain about the ten hour ride, although I am sure many could.
As much as I believe in Amtrak, it doesn’t seem like there is enough community support. I agree that to increase profit, we need to increase ridership, but are there enough people around committed to riding the train? Isn’t easier just to get in your car and drive? However, isn’t America about have alternative choices? It is more green to ride Amtrak and if we road more, maybe this would leverage for better care of the infrastructure.
