Reading back through the thread you could take the noiton that Jim is saying, `Yes, GM and the USA approach is right to be suppressing poor countries so we can keep our jobs.' But how is GM suppressing anyone? Jim seems to agree, though he hasn't specifically said it, that he agrees with the way GM crops have been designed to produce dependence upon the GM companies. GM was introduced to USA when the farmers were not having the best time, and they were offered a better deal from it. That has not eventuated but the same sales approach is still going on in Australia, New Zealand, and in third world countries. Under GM farmers cannot save their seed, a procedure which has been central to third world agriculture. Their way of life -- livelihoods are threatened. Keeping them poor, Jim believes, will help to stop them taking my job. |
