There is well-documented evidence of ground water contamination by the chemicals in fracking fluid. Fracking requires vast amounts of water and depletes a valuable resource, often in areas where water is already scarce. These facts are well documented, unlike all of the claims made by opponents of biotech ag.<br /><br />Parallels in legal strategies are interesting, maybe even instructive, but that's where the similarities end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-29329290743373170332015-01-05T14:51:01.005-10:002015-01-05T14:51:01.005-10:0012:17 Welp.

A ty...Just to clarify, anonymous 8:57 is a troll. <br /><br />A type defined by Wikipedia as a "concern troll:"<br /><br />A concern troll is a false flag pseudonym created by a user whose actual point of view is opposed to the one that the troll claims to hold... The goal is to sow fear, uncertainty and doubt within the group.[38]...<br />Two studies published in 2013 and 2014 have found that people who are identified as trolls tend to have dark personality traits and show signs of sadism, antisocial behavior, psychopathy, and machiavellianism.[36][37] The 2013 study suggested that there are a number of similarities between anti-social and flame trolling activities[36] and the 2014 study suggested that the noxious personality characteristics known as the "dark triad of personality" should be investigated in the analysis of trolling, and concluded that trolling appears "to be an Internet manifestation of everyday sadism."[37] Their relevance is suggested by research linking these traits to bullying in both adolescents and adults. The 2014 study found that trolls operate as agents of chaos on the Internet, exploiting hot-button issues to make users appear overly emotional or foolish in some manner. If an unfortunate person falls into their trap, trolling intensifies for further, merciless amusement."

People who think there is any value to GMOs are not worth any conversation. These are stupid people and they kill the earth. <br />The only way to get some balance in the GMO subject is to have a forum of like minds and come up with a real solution. No solution should involve the people who kill the earth. <br />We need group-think to create a paradigm, a real "out of the box" strategy, an iconic system that can be the banner for world sustainability. We are the little island that could and we will arouse the million little fistees.<br />Namaste and peace and harmony to the world.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
