I can't believe I ever wasted my time trying to discuss anything with this individual.

I mean, who knew that an herbicide would affect the leaves?

Shocking? I had no idea.

Umm. Wait.

I am an idiot, for ever conversing with this individual.

Don't forget all the hysterics about "frankenfoods," (BTW, that mean Al Franken's food?) "poison," "kills all the bees/butterflies," etc, etc.

is a perfect example of why I don't visit GD very often. The nutso anti-science crowd seems in the majority at DU nowadays (or at least in GD), and it makes us all look like morons.

It's funny how the only thing they ever do with the actual science is attempt to tear down the scientists, but when you bring up the reality that the authors of their propaganda are out of their league and have long histories of pushing scams, well, that's just not fair!
