You know gmo is becoming such a plague against the planet-I begin to wish those behind Monsanto and their ilk would "disappear" permanently. A nice deep hole, some lime, rinse repeat until problem is solved. Then plant organic fruit and veggies over top. Yeah, fitting, don't you think? (yeah, I am bad :P)

To hell with that GMO, the mono crops, the Monsanto's and the likes. Farmers are forced to buy their seeds, only good for once, year after year. In the end I believe it kills us, not only the bugs. I want farmers seeds which are fertile, (yet).
