You talked about people taking your work if you help them in poor

that Jim is saying, `Yes, GM and the USA approach is right to be
suppressing poor countries so we can keep our jobs.'



But how is GM suppressing anyone?


Jim seems to agree, though he hasn't specifically said it, that he agrees
with the way GM crops have been designed to produce dependence upon the GM
companies.


Sorry but I never said anything of the sort.

What I said is that a lot of people in the various green organisations seem
determined to ensure that the population of the third world remain
subsistence farming peasants.
If these people get education, training and start producing industrial
goods, providing services such as call centres and software development (As
India has done, a country that went from third world basket case to regional
superpower in less than a generation) they will undercut the wages of over
protected first world employees
