Aha! Finally, it is nice to hear the truth. While there are some farmers who do care about preserving rich topsoil for future generations, and not killing plant, animal and human life with toxic pesticides, other farmers (like you) just want to make more money, more money!

I personally don't think individuals have unlimited rights to poison life just to make a buck. Or at least they shouldn't. This is that thorny area of private rights and public interest that is still being thrashed out in regard to GMO crops. I guess I hope that all you selfish farmers (not you personally, Ish) die of Roundup-related cancers before some cataclysmic event happens--an agricultural nightmare of some Frankenseed sort that destroys most of the plant life on earth or something. That seems only fair if profit is more important to you than poisoning us all to death (as you say in your post). I hope you are just kidding!
