Allergy to Bt cotton?
The company wants to make money, [...] But it also means they may not bother to be too careful about helping their customers to attend to the proper choices, the refuges if it means selling less GM seed, or herbicide or pesticide if it frightens the customer off to draw their attention to the instructions. That's the job of the regulator you elected. Please get the job designations right, or you will be ever disappointed. I doubt there is any country in the world where people get to elect agribiz regulators (certainly not New Zealand, where Brian's posting from). They're appointees, the appointments being made by governments that are uniformly in the pockets of agribiz. In this situation you can't expect them to take any decision that might affect their de facto employers' profits. The regulatory system is designed neither to work nor to be responsive to democratic control, so there is no realistic alternative to direct action in this instance. ======== Email to "j-c" at this site; email to "bogus" will bounce ======== Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/purrhome.html food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files and CD-ROMs of Scottish music. |
