And I didn’t even get to the tag lines.

Arbortion ... After All, It’s Just A Lump Of Chlorophyll.

Gro-Choice ... It’s Not A Weed It’s A Choice, So Choose Gro-Choice!

Hillary! ... For When Vinegar Just Isn’t Enough.

uh, Zimbabwe and a lot of other third world countries don’t allow modern GM foods. That’s why they were starving. Ditto for much of Africa, where our “greens” (including church NGO’s) oppose GM food and anything that smacks of modern agriculture.

And a lot of the complaints ignore that without the green revolution, we’d have suffered all the stuff predicted by the Population bomb thirty years ago.

Luckily, China is busy buying up lots of under utilized land in many African countries and using lots of fertilizer, irrigation, GM food and herbicides so they can export grain back to China to feed their growing middle class, who no longer want to live on a bowl of rice with a few fish every day.

It’s all about control. Control the food, control the fuel, and you have the people under your thumb. Create a one time crop, and you have to go to the government sponsored seed supplier hat in hand for a few kernels of seed corn. When the USDA and FDA show up at your doorstep, and point a gun in your face asking for samples of what you’re growing in your home garden, hoping to find some “cross contamination” from there product, which may result in you receiving a jail sentence and sued into oblivion by Monsanto, will you realize the game that is afoot. This has absolutely nothing to do with creating a better crop, and everything to do with taking control of everyting that you are allowed to grow. The countries I listed have used this to maximum advantage as a means of control. Don’t think for a second that it couldn’t here in th US.

I was quite content to have much of the real HAZMAT duties - changing diapers - performed by my wife. :=)
