Specifically, I would like to know exactly what Monsanto's patents are. If
its genetically engineered, how is that a patent? How can one patent a
lifeform, good or bad for the humankind? The link kind of said it, profit
is the goal. If the law allows it, they go for it. Lock in their patents,
and attack those who don't adhere.
Mother nature, here in S. TX ain't adhering either. Sprayed half the
dilution recommended roundup on a roadbase driveway in full sun, the native
foliage returned in less that 2 months. Also tried, at the same time in
different area of same driveway, recommended dilution similar results.
This, despite TX summer heat. Worse yet, for Monsanto, all is green in the
same treated driveway this spring despite the severe drought.

The solution for these locked-in farmers is simple, get seed from a
different source. Grow seed bearing crop intentionally for their own use.
Stop using roundup.

How about a tax to support any military conflict/police action over 3 months
old?

An actual war, we can do what's been done in the past.
