This is a joke, right?
I mean, people can’t be seriously be fighting for the rights of organisms that can’t even think.. right?

Actually it has been proven time and time again that plants can be adversely effected by the emotional environment around them. Up to and including scientists singing to them (or to take out the CO2 factor- playing recordings) in different musical genres, yelling at them and berating them, praising them and then of course the control plants that just receive basic nutrients needed to survive. The plants that thrived and grew tallest with the most flourish were the ones that were praise and also the ones that listened to music.

This is absolutly nuts. Plants are not people, lobsters are not people, raccoons are not people, stop treating them as such!

And you, sir, read like an out-and-out reactionary hyper-conservative.

Genuinely and without a doubt the most ridiculous thing I have seen this year.
Surely the only value of this bill is its innate entertainment value.

I guess there will be warrants out on cows–they eat a LOT of plants! What a bunch of nitwits. The nuttier and idea is, the more the progressives and eco nuts like it. They could help the planet by offing THEMSELVES—such a waste of air they breathe and the methane that erupts from their behinds. I’m going outside now and I will mow the lawn, chop some tree limbs off for fun and then throw some poison down on the lawn–can’t wait!

I have been working with flower essences since 1984, professionally as a therapy since 1986. This therapy relies on the consciousness within plants being transferred to water as the conductor of consiousness.
The effects of flower essences are miraculous! This includes swiftly reversing cancer, brain tumours, leukemia, debilitating emotional states, etc. The effectiveness occurs in adult humans, children, babies, animals, and even other plants – so there is no placebo effect.
Cleve Backster's ongoing research , since 1962, has proven the existence of consciousness within plants, and even bacteria. Why do we, as a species, claim the sole right to consciousness? Very few plants destroy their environement as we do. Plants have evolved way beyond our present capacity. The flower is the spiritual emanation of the plant, in 3-D.
Sunflowers will turn to follow the sun BY CHOICE: nothing else makes that happen. It is difficult for us as a species to let go of our ego-centric view of a world that was put here for us alone. Perhaps this has been due to the misinterpretation or mis-translation of certain religious scriptures.
The human being is the infant of the natural world, and like the 2-year-old child, we only see things from our tiny perspective of "self". The world is ALIVE with consciousness!

I can understand why someone as rude as yourself, Heri, would not comprehend the meaning of the word "dignity". Also, plantlife is the foundation of our entire eco-system. Everything that breathes has life, and everything that has life has consciousness… Maybe try breathing a little more deeply.
