My contribution to hysterical TRUTH...

2,4-D drift and runoff also pose serious risk for environmental harm. Because it is such a potent plant-killer, 2,4-D can harm animals by killing the plants they depend on for habitat and food. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Marine Fisheries Service have found that 2,4-D is likely having adverse impacts on several endangered species...

but it's not on the market now, and would have to go through a fairly lengthy approval process to ever be on the market. the fact of the matter is, terminator technology is not approved for field use. so you have one less thing to worry about.

The other issue is what they don't get caught doing, which can vary, but many times these experiments end up escaping or just where they shouldn't be. The consequences are uncertain.

Other issues w/ super weeds and crop yields are tied in w/ the use of these crops, as well.

More info. Looks like some contaminated homes are being bought. hmmm.

um, what do you mean, 'herbicide resistant crops fail'? in what way are they failing?
are they losing their ability to withstand herbicide?

btw, your national marine fisheries and epa links are dead, as are most of the other links on that huffnpuff page.

Such accredited web sites like:

gizadeathstar.com, Heritage and Heirloom Seed Catalog for Organic Gardeners, my.firedoglake.com, www.city-data.com/forum/, V7N - The Ultimate Internet Marketing Resource, njuice.com, Lee Kemp America's First Three-Time World Champion, Welcome to The Doctor Within, Miracle Mineral Supplement |MMS | Miracle Mineral Solution, Inicio, www.occupymonsanto360.org and on and on....

Seems they all take the same basic article and then put their hysterical spin on it.
garbage in, garbage out.

The question concerning the erroneous misleading and flat out wrong OP?

As I pointed out many many posts ago Agent Orange is composed of a 50:50 mixture of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T.

All you have ranted about throughout this thread is 2,4-D which is NOT Agent Orange so I guess it's your altered reality because in this reality 2,4-D is NOT Agent Orange.

Lets deal with THE TRUTH and THE FACTS rather than PARANOIA, FEAR and SPREADING LIES shall we?

If you want to discount scientific studies feel free. You guys can buy all the GMO you want. I just want full disclosure of my food so I can personally avoid it. Dioxin is some seriously nasty stuff. Some farmers have found out the hard way about how toxic these pesticides are.
