Prove that it’s a witch hunt. And while you’re at it, prove that I am anti-corporation.

The fact is Monsanto has produced seeds that do not reproduce, they sue & destroy small family farms, they have had sweeping legisation passed in their favor, and there are very serious questions about the safety of their product that they refuse to answer.

To say that I’M anti-corporation is ridiculous. I am anti-cronyism and pro-free market, not to mention pro-life.

Huh? You're here blaming Monsanto for bee colony collapse when anyone with any understanding of the scientific evidence knows that it's total BS. There is no evidence that Monsanto has anything to do with this phenomenon, while the legitimate scientific evidence points to to a virus spread by a parasitic mite called the Varroa.

But never let scientific evidence get in the way of your mindless ranting against one of the most successful American corporations. You are in good company with EU regulators who like to ban things without evidence. The EC couldn't agree on this ban so one guy (Tonnio Borg) made the decision, by edict, to ban neonicotinoids. He's an idiot, like Mayor Bloomberg, but you seem to like people who engage in this kind of activity. Those big gulps are truly dangerous, after all. Even the the British Beekeepers Association is against this action, and has stated that Borg is an idiot, and that neonicotinoids are not the problem.

Monsanto produces seeds that farmers willingly purchase in huge quantities. Do you really believe they do this because there is a gun to their head, and that by choosing Monsanto seeds they are not acting in their best interests? You don't know a thing about basic farming or biotechnology, but here you are condemning a company that specializes in it. If you steal Monsanto technology, they are going to come after you. Monsanto is no different than any other company with intellectual property. There is no scientific evidence that the products they sell are harmful in any way. To believe otherwise is the worst kind of chemicalphobia and alarmism. Do you chant "food for people, not for profit," when marching with those occupy folks?

That's great that you are pro-life. However, you are clearly anti-corporate, and I offer your support of the witch hunt against Monsanto as evidence.
