We're not interested in awareness -- we're already quite aware of how screwed we are. We're not interested in consciousness raising or being a respected institution inside Washington, DC. We're interested in results!
I see lots of fluff, but no actual substance.

If you recall, there were two amendments proposed of late, one by a Republican and one by a Democrat and they sounded good, but accomplished nothing, not to mention the amendments went nowhere, exactly as I predicted.

So how do you propose that we restrict freedom of speech?

They feed their lousy corn based feeds to most livestock and that produces lousy meat. Even dog kibble is full of their frankencorn and the dogs are dying younger and younger with a wide variety of illnesses we have never seen before in dogs. If Russia bans all GM foods all I can do is applaud them for it. GM seeds have bankrupted most small farmers in the developing world as well. Since the GM developers claim ownership and demand payment for all GM seeds I wish I could go to court and obtain an order prohibiting any and all GM pollen from trespassing on my property. If such a thing was possible it would end this nightmare dead in it`s tracks.
The BRICS are doing many things different financially these days. More countries are taking a stand on this issue. Could end up putting a big dent in GM and Big Agro.

Your blur is a slur, to science.

You have presented a very loutish post.

Why are you doing this?
LOL.
The argument that GMO and Hybrids are the same is false.
Genetically modified organism - Science Daily
quote:
A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using techniques in genetics generally known as recombinant DNA technology.
Recombinant DNA technology is the ability to combine DNA molecules from different sources into the one molecule.


Hybrid (biology)
quote:
In biology and specifically, genetics, the term hybrid has several meanings, all referring to the offspring of sexual reproduction.

How much more cognitive dissonance in their poorly structured arguments?.

(rhetorical question)

Genetic Roulette is medical studies from MD's with sick patients. Hardly a "conspiracy theory" but again you shills keep mouthing the same script when facts are not following your corporate agenda.

Keep drinking the aspartame then, see how well you fare in ten years.

Imagine that. A liberal wishing that a "moderate Republican".....ie. a liberal RINO.....would take over GOP House leadership.

Ask any of us if we're surprised that that's what you would want.
