You think farmers choose Monsanto seeds because they don't deliver a better yield, a more consistent product, and a product that consumers demand? It's also no wonder you're an anti-capitalist. You don't know the first thing about how markets work. Now I understand why you rant mindlessly about markets. People fear things they don't understand. The dollar vote has validated Monsanto products. Only an idiot would deny that fact.
Let's summarize....you know nothing about The Farmer Assurance Provision, biotechnology, farming, markets, Monsanto, and Monsanto's competition. But here you are pretending like you do. You need to find something else to do rather than offering opinions about subjects you know absolutely nothing about. Maybe you should be reading something other than Food Democracy Now and HuffPost.

I have not read the leftist publications that you cite. Nor to I claim to be an expert on farming, biotechnology, or agriculture, but I have read enough about Monsanto & GMOs as well as the very powerful lobby associated with both to consider myself reasonably informed. This is a complex issue that is multi-faceted. Not only are there health & environmental concerns/questions tied to GM crops, but the Monsanto Protection Act as well as various lawsuits launched by Monsanto against small farms is too large to ignore.
You seem just fine without asking questions regarding these things and with attempting to discredit my conservatism. Do you think for yourself or just drink the Monsanto propagandist Kool-Aid?

A conservative who questions this issue regarding Monsanto (and others) is anti-capitalist? You present yourself so cock-sure (and with similar language) about this subject that I'm reminded of the FReepers who set upon all Sandy Hook questioners with the same disrespect. Perhaps you are correct. Perhaps you are way wrong.
