That should take care of the areas near the house. Out in the fields,
let the weeds proliferate; I don't care.

Yes sir, better living through chemistry.

My evil plan is to breed a variety of Roundup-resistant dandelions
and spread the seeds over golf courses across the country.

I find nothing evil in that. I'm looking forward to the day when
a major tournament is won on a 50 foot putt that was sunk after
hitting a dandelion!

Resistance to Roundup is already occurring in weeds, and I predict
that the day people have to stoop to pull dandelions by hand is
the day they declare them be a "wildflower" instead of a "weed."

Currently, you have to pick them by hand to make Dandelion Wine.
When the price of a 750ml bottle Dandelion Wine hits $35, people
will steal your weeds while you're at work, eating dinner, and
sleeping. People growing pot will shift crops when your
RoundUp Resistant Dandelion becomes King.

The bad news is a drug cartel will take you and your family
hostage and will eventually resort to torture until you sign
over the secrets and all your rights to the Roundup-Resistant
Dandelion,
