Oh, how this posting...and some of your responses have made me laugh.
Interesting how fools can find "experts" to support them, no matter what
the
topic. I look at our 1000+ acres of corn and think that with just a
little
"hard work" we wouldn't have to use those "deadly" chemicals.
Interesting...those who talk about "hard work" have probably never gotten
out and really worked a day of their lives.

Many years ago, when Roundup was still new, we attended a workshop on how
to
use it for planting no-till. The gentleman who conducted the program, to
show us how safe it is, drank a glass of it. Within the last month, I
saw
that man...and he is still very healthy and vigorous. He was one of
no-till
plantings most active proponents, and my kids have always called him "No
Till Bill". The next time I see him, I will tell him that the "experts"
say he is really dead.

While I do not advocate drinking it....I do believe that it is not a
threat
to the environment or "US".


yes, we've all seen them do it.Reps in the UK did the same. Indeed it is
getting quite funny as a lot of the anti-GM environmental lobby are now
saying GM is bad because it will mean that weeds develop resistance to a
really safe herbicide like Roundup so much faster

I suppose you could gain honest amusement from watching the two wings of the
green movement contradicting each other
