More unsubstanciated bullshit. There is nothing in the web page you
quote that refers to the Council for BioTechnology Information
giving support to OSS. I think you are just making this up.

The Council for Biotechnology Information communicates science-based
information about the benefits and safety of agricultural and food
biotechnology. Its members are the leading biotechnology companies and
trade associations.

Did you bother to read what this Council is doing to improve the
environment. You probably stopped when you saw the words chemical
companies. Take off the blinders.

Supporters of the motion cited the fact that **one third** (--- HELLO!)
of McGill's budget is from corporate sponsors and questioned whether the
money was funding student interests or those of the corporation.

First you attack the Chemical Companies

Then you attack renown professors.

Now you are attacking the Universities.

Is anyone safe?

McGill University, funding partnerships
http://pgss.mcgill.ca/POLICIES/index...try%20Research

University/Industry Research Partnerships
Preamble

A common form of university/industry partnership involves universities
contracting out
the use of their publicly funded facilities. Another common kind of
partnership involves
signing research contracts linking university researchers to industry,
whereby the
university receives industry money to generate research in a specific
area. Such contracts
may entail the **transfer of intellectual property to industry**.
(Yeah, McGill isn't the only one but it seems that, if industry puts up
the money and the public puts up the researchers, property rights should
at least be split.)

Oh, now it becomes a money issue. Where's your idealism now?

The Office of Chemistry and Society, McGill University, is partially
funded by BASF, Bayer CropScience, Dow AgroSciences LLC, DuPont,
Monsanto Company, and Syngenta. Are these philanthropic organizations,




Dr. Joe is a shill, a very charming one, but still a shill. I mean you
wouldn't expect them to hire "The Dick" Cheney?

Of course for a guy like you who probably had trouble finishing high
school, we should respect your opinions over the good doctor.

Sorry Billygoat, this is not a home run, but an end run that makes
no sense.
