Farmer’s Supreme Court Challenge Puts Monsanto Patents at Risk

65. Those "ancient" farmers....

...produced healthy food for healthy consumers. And not so ancient that kept me from being raised on it.

But the bigger issue is the fundamental belief we have in corporations and industry.

A capitalist true-believer will never recognize the public interest, in the same way an atheist won't see 'the work of the devil' at every turn. Some things simply don't exist.

Capitalism doesn't serve the "public interest". Despite your specious argument that 'tech will grind to a halt without corporate sponsorship' , the evidence that private investment impedes the public interest grows daily.

As a Social Democrat, my definition of "the public interest" may be more extreme than yours, but rest assured, we have the same enemy.

When public health becomes a marketable commodity, "healthy consumers" are more of a liability than a sign of progress.
