just about the only bad result in yesterday's returns was passage of Prop 35....

[cui bono]

26. They tried to outlaw that sort of labeling.

Thankfully it didn't work.

Yeah, I buy organic, or at least no pesticides, when I buy. Try to eat at restaurants that serve organic or close to it whenever possible, but that's difficult. Don't eat much processed/packaged foods, etc, etc, etc...

I have to say I still completely disagree with your reason for voting against this. Just doesn't compute and makes absolutely no sense to me. Because of the way something is said you vote against something you agree with? Something that is beneficial to the general public.

As to GMO benefits... what better and better crops and food products? The reason Monsanto is doing it is greed and control. All the effects are negative and for their own benefit. They are attempting to control ownership of all crops. They are putting local farmers into huge debt that they will never be able to pay off due to forcing proprietary seeds on them. Even those that refuse to go along are screwed because they can't control that the wind blows seeds onto their land and Monsanto goes after them for using their product. It's not only health concerns, it's very real economic concerns.

And what about the butterflies dying due to GMP corn crops?

I'm sorry, but until it is proven to have no effects it should be stopped.
