They are trying to rid the planet of the human pest problem.
I'm sure Ted Turner types are heavily invested in Monsanto.
Monsanto eats its young. |

What in Hell did you expect when you voted "Konservatives" into power? Monsanto is just one of way too many businesses owned by our "New Aristocracy" that only exist to monopolize whatever market they "serve".
Liberals had nothing to do with this segment of the "Grand Theft of America".

I also have a lot of family that farms. I agree that they aren't exactly charitable in some of their actions. I am cynical though, about the government's ability to actually enforce law fairly. |

I can't think of any reason this might go wrong. I mean self regulation has worked just so well in the past.  |

I'd say most real liberals would oppose corporations policing themselves while many "establisment" and moderate democrats support government corporate collusion. |

Yeah, the self administratuion of the Mortage security and credit trading industries worked out so well did it not? The result of that was massive impoversation for many and near infinite profits for a few. The result of the biowizardy of Monsanto is still unpredictable.
We do not need any more pre purchased politicians in power. We need a very angry person like me. Those would be interesting times for Monsanto and many other would be monopolists.

Wow, really? I am astonished at the thinking.
Complain about paying taxes and work hard ranting about government spending. Then complain about how the government doesn't regulate private industry well...because they don't have the power and the funding to do the job.
We should set SETI to broadcast a message instead. "No intelligent life here, please move on for your own sake".
