"You’re a stockholder in a very evil company with some very evil investors (Soros, Gates, et al)"

....and you are thinking with your butt..

Monsanto Corporation, as a corporation has the rights of a individual to petition congress regarding it's desires and grievances.

There is nothing evil about that.

As to the internet....There have been issues with seed and chemical suppliers and their farmers since the association between the two was invented some centuries ago....These farmers are their customers, not their slaves. The farmer, if his contract is fulfilled, can make another contract with who ever he pleases or go independent. The same relationship exists for chicken farmers and Tyson, for example.

If you believe everything you read on the internet, then you will see Tyson bullying and badgering it's customers as well.

These are contractual disputes, nothing more or less. But when one occurs and they are not all that common when you look at the acreage Monsanto services and the disputed amount, it is insignificant.

The problem is that you believe and side with people who are invested in damaging Monsanto. But you don't understand why they are.

Frankly, that is how Obama got elected.....twice. And why he could even run for a third term...It's actually possible to contemplate it because there are so many ignorant people who claim they know so much.

Good post and a voice of reason. Some of these posters preaching against private enterprise are talking points lifted from left-wing nutjobs.

If people are worried about some company, don’t buy their products. Governments killed in excess of 100 million innocent people in the 20th century. How many did Monsanto kill, but hey, let’s go after “evil” Monsanto. Go figure.
