    are ok. They make fruits and vegtables taste better, grow faster, and last longer.

    I'm glad the worlds poor have the crops evolved in their own ecosystem dialed in.

    They did, before the world bank, on the behalf of Monsanto, lent them money to "modernize" their farming practices to Monsanto standards (which is very oil intensive), and then they had a glut of food for 10-20 years and had huge population explosions... beyond what the land could naturally support on local crops... then the loans came due and they could no longer afford this unsustainable farming practice and their crops failed and people starved.

    But hey... as long as some people in the market made a buck.. who cares, right? It makes for a good picture as to why we should all have a warm fuzzy for Monsanto (and in your case, Jon Galt).
    So you're saying government fucked it up? I think we agree.

    You also seem to be saying that if they have plenty of food, the fuckers start shitting out kids, so it best to keep them on the edge of starvation to keep the bastards from breeding too much. Lib logic.

    Sure, I can agree that when the government is doing the bidding of for profit corporations, it tends to fuck things up, it also tends to lead to fascism.

    I'd rather teach them birth control, then teach them how to farm the way Monsanto thinks is best.

    The converse... enabling unlimited breeding beyond what the environment can support... that's conservative missionary logic.

    "Enabling breeding". Lol.

    I don't think you understand fascism, but that doesn't matter. In the free market Monsanto wouldn't be able to do any of this shit. This is government corporatism pure and simple. Obama and the congress have the power and opportunity to end this, but they keep pushing it forward. It's bullshit.

    Also to clarify, I'm for GMOs but against the way the government and the bio companies are doing it.
