I agree that the word is used too much. However, if someone is trampling other human beings just to turn a buck, I don't know what to call that if not evil.

Try "sinful". Very few people or organisations are actually actively evil. Wrong perhaps, or misguided. Maybe even downright bad. But not evil. If you call someone evil you risk making them a kind of whipping boy and thereby excusing your own shortcomings. The Human problem is not that some of us are evil, it is that all of us are not quite good enough.

And also true, if the food safety bill doesn't affect you there is no real reason you would ever have knowledge of Monsanto.

Ah...one of those organisations that like to keep a low profile eh? They are unknown to the masses, but secretly pull all the strings?

Excellent statement.

Monsanto is a massive multinational corporation. You undoubtedly have something in your posession right now that they made.

Michael Crighton's last book, Next , could very easily be about this creepy company.
