More than one Freeper has fallen under the spell of the Leftist movement, buying into the ‘I hate Monsanto’ bit.
I do think you can be a deep conservative filled with love and reverence and still hate what Monsanto is doing, trying to “own” (patent) “plants and seeds” — and mess with our food. Can businesses exist that we don’t always agree with? Yes, legally, sure. But should we try to become aware of businesses’ products that are meant for us to ingest and become part of our bodies, while we are attempting to remain healthy? Also, yes.
And if you don’t agree with me about Monsanto’s practices, that’s fine, but there might be a company with whom you’d disagree — say, a vodka company marketing a drink for children. Or a toy that mocks your religion. Conservatives believe in business, big or small, but we are free to be angry at specific businesses!
That brings to mind two questions:
About when did farmers stop using their own corn as seed for the next crop?
and second question; if private corporations shouldn't be allowed to patent their seed, as it means they control a portion of or food production, explain to me why you aren't objecting to private corporations patenting life saving drugs, and thus controlling our opportunity to continue to stay alive?
