This all must be very confusing for the mind of the sheep. ;)

Consider the role of the media when we are eating all that monster
food called "GMO's," which in Europe is banned. Or consider the role
of the media on the War on Drugs, and you'll understand their silence
is as important or more than what they report.

In Korea though they reject this monster food with full riots....
Genetically modified crops: 'Monster food' or a big step to feeding
the world's hungry?
While hungry people from Haiti to Somalia rioted this month over food
shortages and price increases, South Koreans protested the arrival of
63,000 tons of grain at their ports.

Perhaps our media needs the sheep to be kept ignorant so they can be
handled better. We know one thing: THE SHEEP ARE GETTING FATTER!

THE WISE TIBETAN MONKEY SAYS
"Being fatter is a sign that you are ready to become lunch"
(In large part bashing genetically modified food)
For the past 450-plus million years, Nature has been genetically
modifying the genes of things that animals eat, fairly randomly.
I seem to think that genetic modifications done by scientists who know
somewhat what they're doing would have a lower rate of making new toxic or
dangerous strains of food plants than genetic modifications done randomly
by cosmic rays, carbon-14, potassium-40, retroviruses, and random failures
of chromosomes to replicate perfectly. Along with mating between different
species not being completely free of producing fertile offspring (an
example is the savana cat, a hybrid between species of 2 different genera.
And plants can't be convicted of bestiality for their pollen landing on
the pistils of flowers of plants of other species.)
And I certainly think that few (probably none) of the food species and
strains we ate 50 or 5,000 years ago are free of unmodified genes.

Aren't we supposed to go naked to absorb all the energy of the cosmos?
You are wrong. I'm bashing the stupidity of the Christians who are
ready to take GMOs in their own body, but go berserk about cloning a
sheep.
What if they clone a sheep with a monkey!?
Listen baby, I know what's coming for Latin America...
I'm Comandante Banana and the Banana Revolution is custom made for
Latin America. We will go back to 1492 and go naked like the Indians
in the Jungle.
Q: What solution do you offer?
A: We offer the best of what we had back in 1492: the beautiful
nature, etc.
Q: You wouldn't be referring to nudism and all that, do you?
A: I've never thought about that. But, on second thought, it wouldn't
be a bad idea that our MULATAS could show the... Shit, you make wander
from the subject!
They seem to be as wise as Americans who also believe a Jew died for
them.
But they are more rebellious and make scooters and little cars instead
of Stupid Unnecessary Vehicles.
The Jungle
The novel’s title symbolizes the competitive nature of capitalism; the
world of Packingtown is like a Darwinian jungle, in which the strong
prey on the weak and all living things are engaged in a brutal, amoral
fight for survival. The title of the novel draws attention
specifically to the doctrine of Social Darwinism, an idea used by some
nineteenth-century thinkers to justify the abuses of wealthy
capitalists. This idea essentially held that society was designed to
reward the strongest, best people, while inferior people were kept
down at a suitable level. By relating the story of a group of honest,
hardworking immigrants who are destroyed by corruption and evil,
Sinclair tries to rebut the idea of Social Darwinism, implying that
those who succeed in the capitalist system are not the best of
humankind but rather the worst and most corrupt of all.

As long as the food is labeled as GM, and properly tested for health risks and
nutrition, OK.
We have hundreds of years of knowledge about the safety of non-GM varieties. Who
knows what the long term effect of BT corn or Roundup treated GM crops will be?
Shouldn't we at least have the option to not buy them if we choose?
Exactly. But they consider the sheep too stupid to know the
difference, and that some may actually be scared by it.
An internal memo of Monsanto says, "We can't afford to lose one
dollar."
The situation with the soybean seems particularly scary where they are
bombarded with more pesticides as the new strains have been developed
to resist pesticides. Milk is loaded too.
I didn't finish the documentary because it would be too depressing.
Blah, blah, blah ...
Another idiotic post which makes no sense at all. Post to already current
threads - you poor crazy bastard.

We are disappointed in you Eddy. I think it is time that you acknowledge
that you are getting too old for this type of contest. It would be best
if you would quietly retire.

I work for SAIC (but I don't speak for SAIC)
Right. He's like a big boxer who's out of shape, and can't even beat a
featherweight monkey...
TM is the village idiot and only another village idiot like you would spend
any time on him.
Best of luck.
I don't think Big Old Ed can even take part in the "Masturbation for
Peace" Campaign.
He used to be a heavyweight, but now he pees in his pants.
TM is too big an idiot even for me. I require a basic minimum of human
intelligence. TM is a poor crazy bastard - a true village idiot. But don't
fret about it, some motorist is going to take him out sooner or later.
You will find me mostly just on RBS these days.
>>> I don't think Big Old Ed can even take part in the "Masturbation for

>>> He used to be a heavyweight, but now he pees in his pants.
TM is a poor crazy bastard who just posts on his one favorite subject -
hatred of motor vehicles because they interfere with his use of the roads.
His other favorite subject is attacking Christianity. If you respond to this
poor crazy bastard, then you are a poor crazy bastard too.
He likes to reference monkeys and other wild animals normally found only in
zoos because he is most likely a wild beast himself. I think he fornicates
with monkeys, but I can't prove it.
TM should confine himself to just one thread instead of proliferating them
like a poor crazy bastard. He is insane of course. I liken him to the
village idiot of olden times. The difference these days is that no one any
longer recognizes the village idiot because idiocy has become so widespread.
But I will be here to remind one and all of what a poor crazy bastard TM is.
It is mark of My Greatness that I can still recognize the village idiot even
if the rest of you can't.
Fucking Regards,
