I wouldn't be surprised if a company like Monsanto would hedge it's bets and contribute to all the presidential candidates.

This thread, if it is to be continued, belongs in the lower level, since it has nothing to do with music or folklore, but with the defamation of an elected president.

It is illegal for corporations to make direct contributions to political candidates. Depending on how they are organized, political action committees (PACs)may or may not be obligated to divulge their donors. The bottom line is, we may or may not ever know who gave what to whom.

Sorry - I omitted this (chase a grandkid issue): the records of what individuals contributed and who their employers are is a matter of public record. People have a right to decide who to support, of course. Here is Monsanto's list. If anyone is interested, a simple search at the same site to which I linked will tell you if the same people contributed to candidates across the political spectrum.

The Obama administration announced last week that it expects to approve corn and soybeans that have been genetically engineered by Dow Chemical company to tolerate the toxic herbicide — 2,4-D. They are planning this approval despite the fact that use of this herbicide is associated with increased rates of deadly immune system cancers, Parkinson's disease, endocrine disruption, birth defects, and many other serious kinds of illness and reproductive problems....

If President Obama could turn water into wine, Songwronger would accuse him of trying to wipe out American vintners.

If President Obama could heal the sick, Songwronger would accuse him of trying to destroy the medical profession.

If President Obama could raise the dead, Songwronger would accuse him of robbing morticians of their livelihood.

If President Obama could walk on water, Songwronger would accuse him of attempting to pollute the world's oceans with his dirty shoes.

If President Obama could—    Well, you get the idea. . . .

I'm merely thanking Obama for thinning the human herd. Damn. Settle down people. Someone has to cull us out, and Dow Chemical and Obama are doing just that.   We all AGREE that there are too many people in the world, well, this is how you deal with the problem. Obama deserves a big pat on the back for this one. I look forward to sacrificing my endocrine system so that he can meet his death quota. I hope he gets the Nobel prize for Medicine for this one. My hero.

Students have been happily reporting the latest research showing that you should skip doing your homework for a time after suffering a concussion. The researchers held that stimulating brain activity during initial stages of recovery could lead to permanent brain damage.

The question is whether HateWronger tried to think too hard after he lost his helmet and ran into a few goal posts, or whether it's just the comulative damage from running into far too many goal posts without proper headger.

Differentiation of the specific cause probably is academic, as his performance appears rigidly fixed and quite probably not amenable to treatment at this late stage, however consultation with qualified advisors might be merited to determine whether anything might be salvaged.

In the exceedingly unlikely event that anyone here is actually interested in what really is going on with GMO development, and WHY some think it's a good idea, a reasonably rational article appeared in the latest issue of Technology Review:

Why We Will Need GMO Plants

Technology Review Jan-Feb 2014

The article is too long to post (10 pages - US letter size - when pasted in Word, with extraneous decorations removed) but is worth reading if you can do the necessary thinking while you read. The web version appears in 5 fairly short parts for easier browsing (although I found the paper version, which might be on your newsstands, easier to read and digest).

It appears that some of what was in the print version of the magazine (a couple of charts?) may have been omitted in the web version, although I haven't made a side-by-side comparison as yet; but the important points are there in both.

This is not a subject to be ignored, but brainless debate without a few facts, and opinions from all sides, accomplishes nothing very productive.

The double absurdity of the OP is that:
GMOs are coming out of necessity. Nothing to do with whoever is U.S. President. Ultimately, it won't have to do with the U.S. at all. Hungry people are going to find something to eat.
Also, while it is a good idea to investigate GMOs on many fronts, I'm not aware of actual science that demonstrates they are a source of anything other than the usual mix of proteins and chemicals. Still worth checking, but via scientific method.
I think a more correct observation is that it hasn't been proven SAFE. But then, how does one prove anything safe?

GMOs are coming out of necessity to make gobs of money.

First, you make billions of dollars off herbicides. Then, once your crops succumb to herbicides, you make billions od dollars by marketing genetically altered plants to withstand the herbicides.

Repeat as necessary.

Monsanto & Dow are laughing all the way to the bank.

How I was drawn into this is beyond me.

Brillant reaearch is being funded by Monsanto and Con Agra and DOW and Bayer and Gilead. I support them.

On wheat ... the yield per acre has moved from the 12 of my grandfater. to a steady. hearty 22-28 with perhaps 50 on the near horizon.

Russian production is forecast for a stomach wrenching collapse in 2014, more ostly from poor weather and government management conditions. The USA is primed to export wheat, corn, petroleum, rice, almonds, at level never before exceeded.

Free Enterprise, science and capitalism are prevailing.
