I was hoping you could have also made reference to black helicopters as
well.. it's the only thing that's missing from your rant...

I really, really, REALLY dislike the anti-intellectual climate in this
country ...
BUT (and science is my business, livelihood, love, entertainment by the
by)
Just because something is not yet known does not mean that it proves a
null
hypothesis.
I grew up in a decade when cigarettes were advertised as "Good for your
well
being", when kids rode their bicycles behind DDT trucks because the DDT
smelled good, when women regularly had hysterectomies because all their
problems stemmed from "bad uteruses/female problems"....

Round up may or may not be a serious health hazard. I don't know what
evidence there is out there for it or against it. I do know to think
twice
about ANY information coming out of a company that benefits from my
buying
their product. I do know that if it does not do good things to the
plant
then I should wonder about what it is doing to me. I do believe that
every
individual has the right to endanger their own life and it is no ones
business if they do but that they do not have the right to do so to
others.

My 2 cents. DKat

My respect to you, a well reasoned position and post. Sadly, reasoning
with
glyphosate shills is pointless since they only have a single agenda. After
dozens of such instances, it should be clear that all they will do is
tartishly demand "proof" and if anyone is fool enough to submit anything
even remotely contrary to their agenda, the predictable result is
discredit
and obfuscation. Monsanto shills are about as ingenious as a slug after
you
pour salt on them, yet they persist in posting their "scientific
justifications" in gardening groups.

Every pesticide, herbicide, 'cide period, was designed to kill. With such
big hits as Agent Orange and Aspartame to their credit, the source of
glyphosate and their shills are toxic entities, period. No doubt that
there
are rare instances and circumstances where the use of glyphosate or
similar
chemicals are warranted but to err on the side of caution is wise indeed.
As to what widespread misuse of chemicals will do to the individual is a
matter of public record. And yes, they have the right to kill themselves
by
degrees. But not to kill me. And their garbage is floating around the
planet, so their products are killing me by degrees as well.

It is a matter of sustainability, really. Products such as RoundUp are the
lazy way out, the instant results syndrome. And if it all results in a few
percentage points of increase in cancer rates, well, blame those
eyerackies.
People like this particular shill are the lowest of the low, far below
pondscum. They invariably claim impeccable qualifications, Doctors,
Scientists, Dermatologists, etc. Why any professional would spend time to
defend a product without admitting that they have been bought and sold by
the corporations should be considered as an insult to the intelligence of
anyone here.

Pesticides are poisons, regulated by the bought-and-sold EPA. SuperRoundUp
is the weapon of choice when it comes to CIA operations in central
America.
Anyone using cides is a fool and certainly not a gardener. And that sums
it
up.

Don't bother, Brillo. You are scum, so stop trying come-backs.
