Default Roundup Unready

it is your response that is content free. skip the question and move right to an
attack on the motives of the writer. motives are unknowable and mere speculation.
However, knowing the background of the chemical company is a very good predictor of
current behavior. Very interesting 60 minutes last night ... Monsanto in Alabama has
contaminated an entire town with PCBs. They have known about its effect on the
people there for more than 30 years and have done nothing. They have already paid
out in lawsuits. But when the courts were getting ready to hand down a ruling making
Monsanto clean up the toxin the EPA quickly made a secret deal with Monsanto to
extend the period of "study" of the problem another 2 years. So much for the EPA
"protecting the environment" or the people in that town.
Monsanto has a horrendous track record. I dont know why the citizens of the US
cannot be better protected from all such predatory companies. Ingrid
