Come on Rose, your saying that we wouldn't have modern equipment because of DNA altered plants? It may serve somebodies purpose on the short term, but we could pay a higher price in the long run. How many hundreds of time has science come up with something very wonderful and it turns on us later. Got any Tholidimide(?) kids? Got DTD? Shall I go on? To my mind, DNA should be left to catching criminals and a whole lot more study. Every time they come up with something, they try to milk the hell out of it in every direction possible, and it's the public who play for it - sometimes with their lives. Your not the first person to defend a stance when you don't know all the facts. I sure as hell don't know it all, but I saw enough to turn me away. You want a be a guinea pig for the big guys, fine.
But ten-twenty years down the road we could have so many mutated plants you might not want to eat. Who's gonna go hungry then? I'm telling ya, the stuff they are playing with couldn't be anything like what they were doing 80 yrs ago.
They didn't even know about genetic engineering then.
Hybrides, maybe, but not the stuff they're doing now.
There are some scientists, not all, who pump out the weird and wonderful just to keep themselves a job. My Grandfather was a plow jockey and he lived to 85 and raised a family of 6.
They are all alive to 87 or better. One died at 92. There were lots of diseases that doctor's couldn't treat back then, but those that made it ate well. The equilibrum was probably
around the 70's and 80's, but I think the scales could tip the other way shortly. When I said Monsato went after the farmer down the road because his crop was latered, they proved that geneticaly altered plant can't be contained. They cut their own throat in away. That is proof for me that they are playing with something they don't know to handle. you can bet that they won't stop even if the warning signs come up. They have to get their money out of it. You've heard it before, follow the money! |
