Gates is a very single minded geek. It would be marvelous if he targets this hooey for destruction.
Bill Gates does put his money where his month is unlike most of the left.
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Linus Torvalds joined in too :-)
Bill Gates kinda does have enough money to bankroll his own food and aid airdrops into Africa...
But the left doesn’t care about actual people actually starving.
They don’t much care if they are machetied to death either.
There are larger concerns.
If he'd bothered reading some of the better anti-Communist literature of the 1940s and 1950s written by ex-Commies he'd already known this.
Man's wasted 3/4 of his life on a foolish quest.
You mean people at Free Republic cannot recognize black propaganda. Not only are GMO’s untested there is no procedure for them to be tested. We are losing plant diversity while six corporations control world food production. The response to this garbage is abysmal.
I think these HIV ridden, overpopulating people need to be sterilized as a result of accepting our aid. NO FORCED STERILIZATION, but voluntary if they want our food. They have no business breeding if they can’t even feed themselves. Survival of the fittest - only the strongest of people further their genes into the human future. Oh, and for anybody who say I say this because they’re Africans, I say the same for any population who - for centuries - have starved, warred with won another, and have been led by losers and have done nothing with one of the most naturally eco-rich continent on earth.
The responses are still abysmal and feed a belief that GMOs are a solution to hunger or nutritition. The article is pure crap and just a few Google videos from a search for “GMO dangers” would present that view. There is no way to take on the propaganda in just a few words, but I am well read on it and this is a society where beliefs and conclusions are funneled into people’s heads. This piece is black propaganda no matter how such a statement gets diverted, deflected and diluted. This this 2009 and people should have a broad understanding of GMOs already because it is something they are eating everyday.
If you don’t know the oppositional information, don’t you think you should hunt it down?
Two thoughts - All food is genetically modified. If you look at agricultural practices from a historical perspective on long known “bread basket” areas, you will probably see this practiced manually for several hundred years. Wind, rain and other elements have probably helped the process since the dawn of the plant.
Second, this is my favorite quote:
Al Gore has worried, The most lasting impact of biotechnology on the food supply may come not from something going wrong, but from all going right
were far more likely to accidentally drown ourselves in a sea of excess grain.
So what if we do?
