I can't believe that Monsanto is allowed to sue farmers who have somehow had the GM crap blow over into their crops, as if they wanted or needed it to contaminate their seeds.
(The third is a remix of a 1968 performance done while the country was still enveloped behind the Iron Curtain. Even then, as you can see, Budapeszt was as up-to-date as most cities in the West.)
Kudos to you beautiful Hungarians for maintaining your nation's integrity, and for asserting your national sovereignty.

Monsanto created "superweeds" now churning up crops
Ah yes the great monsanto who will save us all from weeds............
The problem, farmers and weed scientists say, is getting worse: Weeds are becoming increasingly resistant to Monsanto's Roundup, sold generically as glyphosate, forcing farmers to use other herbicides or "multiple modes of action." But during this season especially farmers are finding that these other modes of action aren't working either — and there appears to be little relief on the horizon. In Missouri, herbicide dealers have sold out of Cobra, one of the herbicides most widely used in tandem with glyphosate.
"Are they running out of options?" asked Aaron Hager, a weed scientist with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "The simple answer is yes."
Farmers across the Midwest and South are, increasingly, using herbicide cocktails to combat weeds in cotton, corn and soybean fields.
"They're using about every bullet they have in their gun," said Derek Samples, a dealer with Agro Distribution in Portageville, about 150 miles south of St. Louis. "It's just been a nasty year."

Like anything else..it builds up a tolerance. Now they need STRONGER killer which means more potent seed that won't die off which means more crap in our food.
