Monsanto GM ‘oil’ spill? I recall them going after farmers for using ‘their’ seeds?
TB, ya might ping the garden thread.
I thought these “GM” plants were not supposed to be able to reproduce.
Ping For the garden forum...
Probably every plant that exists has some genetic influence as pollination doesnt stay in one field.
Now Monsanto can extort EVERYBODY!!!!
"Sir, your weeds contain proprietary Monsanto genes. YOU OWE US!!!!"
Monsanto needs to find out who owns the middle of nowhere and sue them into the ground. Imagine, a place on earth letting Monsanto seeds grow on it that doesn't pay Monsanto for it! The nerve! Especially since court after court has upheld Monsanto's right to sue anything anywhere with growing Monsanto seeds. And if it's government land, no excuse - time to fork over the tax dollars.
And if you think this is a parody, you don't know what is going on with Monsanto.
Sounds like Monsanto admits its genes are trespassing.
Somebody should turn the tables and sue them.
Europe has outlawed US GM food, it is only our corrupt politicians who have allowed this to happen. Mass starvation is going to be the end product.
Seems like the patent holder should have done a better job of protecting it's intellectual property.
On the plus side, after we get hit with EMP from the evil axis, mutant biker zombies from the inner cities, and the ultimate results of election 2008, food might easier to find for those that live through it.
And remember "Never release nanobot assemblers without replication limiting code" Only you can prevent gray goo.

Mass starvation is going to happen because some food plants are going into nature and reproducing? And driving out weeds?
More food plants, less weeds, it would seem to me.
How do the mechanics of your mass starvation thing work?

That's what I'm talking about...!
Pressure the Congress to take over Monsanto. Remember, it is OK for the feds to take over a company now. Thanks, Obama!

The bio-tech company Monsanto can sell genetically modified seeds before safety tests on them are completed, the US Supreme Court has ruled.
A lower court had barred the sale of the modified alfalfa seeds until an environmental impact study could be carried out.
But seven of the nine Supreme Court Justices decided that ruling was unconstitutional.
The seed is modified to be resistant to Monsanto's brand of weedkiller.
The US is the world's largest producer of alfalfa, a grass-like plant used as animal feed.
It is the fourth most valuable crop grown in the country.
Environmentalists had argued that there might be a risk of cross-pollination between genetically modified plants and neighbouring crops.
They also argued over-use of the company's weedkiller Roundup, the chemical treatment the alfalfa is modified to be resistant to, could cause pollution of ground water and lead to resistant "super-weeds".
But Monsanto says claims its products were dangerous amounted to "bad science fiction with no support on the record".
Whew, when I first read the title I thought it said “genetically modified CRAP”!
