Yes, Obama administration is going after companies like Burpee that only
give you a dozen seeds for $2.98. Obscene profits and misuse of TARP
funds are driving seed companies to bankruptcy.
Thrilled to hear it (if true - couldn't find a citation). Monsanto is
my favorite
object of international hatred. Among the other unconscionable things
they do:
SELL water to indigenous people (S. America, I think I read in Mother
Jones'
article on the subject.) People who used to dig their own wells, are
now
stuck with BUYING
