Subject: RE: BS: GMOs... new thread. A must read.
That's the problems, geek...

Regulations are the enemy of the ignorant... That's all we hear from the right wing... They complain about every regulation that comes down the pike...

The Chamber of Commerce was blasting away at Obama in his first term saying that he was like some kind of dictator for the regulations that had been put in place during his first couple of years as president... Truth of the matter is that Obama was way behind Bush in new regulations at the same point in Bush's term so...

...John Dailey, then Chief-of-Staff, invited the Chamber of Commerce to present the regulations that Obama had put in place that they didn't like...

Guess what???

The Chamber not only couldn't think of any but shut the heck up about Obama being this monster regulator...

Here's the big problem with GMOs... Because we are in a cycle of Big Business getting whatever it wants there is no political will to conduct studies on:

1. The effects of GMOs on the physiology on man and other creatures...

2. The effects of GMOs on our environment...

3. The effects of GMOs on small farmers...

4. The effects on a society that shields any corporation from liability for damages...

5. The cost (in loss of per acre yield) in not using GMOs...

I mean, it seems that we are not operating with all the facts because they are not known... It's kinda like we are being told that GMOs are the way of the future in feeding mankind... I donno??? If you can now use more chemicals to control weeds and insects, where do those chemicals end up???

There are lots of unanswered questions and a more intelligent path would be to try to ferret out some truths (answers) about GMOs... I don't see that happening until one day, geeeeze, "we have a problem, Houston"...
