Billy: National Pesticide Information Center did the study.


a short term study with rats isn't going to
reveal long term effects. some effects may not
appear for more years than you'll be alive.
who cleans it up if a mistake is made? all
those acres you spray stuff on, what happens
if it is shown to be contaminated and the
food you grow is no longer acceptable for
animal or human consumption?

do you think those companies that sell you
that stuff are going to have deep enough
pockets to make things right? to decontaminate
the soil? to pay for whatever healthcare you
and/or your decendants might need as a result?

what about people you might be poisoning
downwind? groundwater? or people who buy
your food? an insurance company can only
cover so much before they go under.


here is an example of what is actually going on:

a clear sign that poisons do not work
in a sustainable manner. this process has
been demonstrated over and over again in
many ways yet here we have yet another
poison and plants being modified so that
such poisons can be used to spray fields.

i'm really glad i'll have more poison
to breath in coming from the fields around
me, going into the water, etc.

Good article, "bird". It is amazing what some people will do for money,
i.e. rob, cheat, and steal. It doesn't seem to matter that people are
thown-out onto the streets, or poisoned as long as it helps meets the
quarterly revenue targets. In this case we have a new GMO to correct for
a problem caused by another GMO. It might be supportable, if the claims
for GMOs had ever been realized, but so far the only break through has
been for corn that more efficiently consumes NH3, and impoverishes the
soil.

It must be tough on banksters, et al., knowing that they need more than
$1.1 billion to get into the Forbes 500. I wonder how many recently
minted poor it takes to make a billion dollars.
