(2,579 posts)Seems like the people in our government who are beholden to nasty corporations like Monsanto forgot a few things...like someone said upthread, if you leave people backed into a corner, with no way to fight back, not everyone is going to lie down peacefully and let them trample over them.
I think that our collective welfare is more important than the destruction of property. Food is so very basic, and their are huge problems with not just the GMO food itself, but with corporate control over our food supply. This whole business is a huge issue, including foreign companies coming in, buying up local farm land, and taking over the food supply through patent laws, pollution of the ground water, etc. I have had personal experience with being sickened from exposure to Round-up when I worked on a rhododendron farm back in the early eighties.
I am sure agent Mike is listening, but I applaud people standing up for what we stand on. Planet Earth is our most basic sponsor, anyway, not the corporations.
