I don’t believe I have anything to say to you because I still have some respect for the work you have done. Likewise I am sure.

There is no difference between asking government to protect the environment in the name of public health and safety and doing the same about GMOs. There are good and bad products out there. The key is to distinguish the two, not to toss all uses of the technology into the same category. See post 46.

Do you know what's in gasoline? All the surfactants, detergents and additives? Would it mean anything to you to know what they were? Would it mean anything to you to know that they are carcinogens? There's a Prop 65 warning on the pump right now; did it help you? You see, there are carcinogens that are harmless in the quantities found in gasoline as long as it goes from the pump to your car's gas tank. OTOH, MTBE... Did Prop 65 save you from that?

You pay for subscription product quality services now. One is UL. Would you rather have the government assessing the quality of electrical appliances? This could be done very easily. If a product concerns you, pass your I-Phone to read the bar code and your subscriber app could tell you about the product.

Don't blame the technology, blame the particular misuse. Read post 46 and get back to me. I'm telling you now: this law will play right into Monsanto's hands. Hell, if I were them, I'd make a fat donation to the "anti Prop 37" campaign, just to take advantage of all the fear.
