Hi John, Biotechnology... agriculture? Hmmm, first of all commodity prices are lousy, then you have the frankenfood resistance from those snooty Europeans who don't want our GMOs. They're so confused, they think we're selling them under-researched mutant GizMOs instead of real food. Of course, the way that Monsanto and others have attempted to cram their "vision" down the throats of unwilling customers may need some examination. Typical American hubris.... meet the rest of the world..... So as I see it, the biggest problem with ag biotech is... spin control. Re: I agree with you and others that the smartest thing we can do as a whole is let this economy go thru this pain....naturally. Actually, I don't recall saying that. Any resemblance between laisse faire and "naturally" at this stage of economic development is purely illusory. Remember, "free markets" is simply an Orwellian euphemism for corporate domination of local economies. Best, Ray
