The "superweed" and "superbug" attempts to scare people are really stupid. They conveniently don't mention (if this happened) that the superweed would only be resistant to the active ingredient in MONSANTO herbicide. Likewise, the superbug would only be resistant to one pesticide. And there are plans made so this doesn't happen, anyway. The EPA and Monsanto have addressed these concerns, but the "greenies" have other agendas so they don't shut up. I also love the statement about "without the slightest idea of what you are doing"; in effect, they deny the decades of research in genetics.
