Everyone should read The Secret Life of Plants. Should've been required reading in high school or college instead of one of the thousands of war novels we read and re-read and re-re-read, but hey whatever.

I'd say it's amazing this book came out in '73 and the common man isn't aware of these experiments and studies that go a long way to proving that plants do indeed have consciousness ... but ... in order for our society to function as it does, it's kind of imperative that we don't realize this stuff. ;P
I love plants.
My boyfriend loves plants too. He has a very deep connection with them. I, personally, think everything has consciousness, even inanimate objects. I like string theory, and if everything is made up of vibrating strings, then there is nothing that isn't made of the same set of subatomic units (which could be called intelligent infinity—in the particle function as opposed to the wave).
I so agree with what is read in school. I remember reading Hiroshima in 8th grade. It was so traumatizing. Our sick education system is worthy of a thread by itself.
