anyhow... as a state regulator I have personally seen a number or practices that infuriate me. Like a new company spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, a year or more of going through the regulatory process to permit an alternative energy facility that spews fewer pollutants into the environment... but then is never built because the coal using local electric compnaies buy them out for millions of dollars and keep on using coal. Then request higher rates to keep profitable. Or patents on better, environmentally friendly products being bought by mega corps and kept under wraps.

Twenty some years ago, when serving on the state board for our organic farmers group I got to hear a talk by the head of the USDA Small Farms section - he and his secretary were the total workforce of that section. Meanwhile the family that raised most of the sugar cane in the western hemisphere made generous contributions to both politcal parties and got massive subsidies from the USDA.

Oh, cs... remember that GMO is a tool... just as a hammer can be used to build a shed or a house, or pull them apart, GMO can tailor crops in more than one way. Monsanto wants to sell more pesticide, they fund products that allow them to do that.
