I appreciate your passion, Bobert. And certainly agree about the destructiveness of Monsanto. Yet the only way to get people on board is to understand where they are coming from.   I'm not talking here about Monsanto, but about the American people who are allowing Monsanto to get away with wreaking such havoc.......and about those who are afraid to stand up to the corporate giants.

Calling people all sorts of derogatory names doesn't do anything to advance the cause or 'convince' them to come onto our side.

And, I don't think we should let Obama off the hook. If congress wanted a bill to destroy the earth (which may be what the so-called "Monsanto Protection Act" is doing, and he decided to compromise by saying we'd only destroy half the earth, I don't think that would be good enough.


I think it's totally ok---and I think essential----for all of us to hold U.S. politicians, including Obama, accountable for their irresponsible and destructive actions, and, if need by, work to give power to any third political party who is going to follow their principles, no matter what.

As for the hostility towards GfS....obviously there's some history there. And if he's a supporter of those Republicans who are so actively contributing to our destruction, the absolutely, put him in his place. But I certainly don't get this from his postings in this particular thread.

Sometimes it's a problem when we focus so much more on the messenger than the message.
