Collusion and Corruption in GM Policy

Thank you,Pete, for finding something On/T to post, for a
change.

Tragic that these nuts are even taken seriously.


The very simple reason that they can get away with it is
that opposition is often even nuttier. Haranguing those who
already have a public forum cannot work, Like they say in
Bushland - You can't fight City Hall. But you can persuade
people not to vote for them.

You don't hear many complaints from British farmers
either, you'd have thought by now they'd have realized
that unethical farming has almost buried them
already. Will they never wake up?


Considering the pressure they are under to make a living,
the real farmers (ie. non-agribusiness enterprises) seem to
be doing a good job. If they strive to become ethically
perfect, they lose their livelihood and their land gets
bought up by agribusiness. So which do you prefer? I know
where I stand.
