I wonder... was it Ross Perot's "Crazy Ain't In The Basement" that started all the anti-GMOshun as I peruse this MarketWatch.com artickle. Now I guess I'll have to go and ping the other two commontators!!!
see link in previous comment...
I have a friend who is crazy on this GMO thing. I try to tell him about the the potato and you can tell he may have slept through high school biology. When the Spanish found them in 1537, they were misshapen and bitter tubers about the size of peanuts. The Incas, not knowing the potato’s nature, would eat the larger tubers and use the smaller ones to grow more of them. Not knowing that they were encouraging the smaller tubers through natural selection, the potato were smaller than what we get from Idaho. The bitter taste was once worse, and even toxic. However, the early Incas would select the better, less toxic ones until they had developed through natural selection, an edible food. That natural selection duplicates the genetic manipulations now done by scientists. Those changes to the potato created a food that is one of the most important food products on earth. GMOs will speed up that genetic process.
How does this relate to the gay movement? I see their choices a kind of natural selection process. If there is a gay gene, that gene will be eliminated from the gene pool as their lifestyle causes them not to reproduce. Maybe the real gene will be the gene for stupidity. We could use less of those genes. We want the big potatoes, not the small bitter ones.
