Taking care of business

I am not so sure he does not see it, he appears to not see it, with the specific purpose of evoking an argument. In post after post, a common theme is, prove it, or prove I ever said that, when the words can be taken no other way. What would be the purpose in all the back and forths we have had about Romney, then turn right around and say he voted third party? Again, a double standard.

 

Big Agro buys congress. Big Agro controls big field crops that are very mechanized and require a minimum of labor. Big field crops mostly produce empty calories. Congress votes price supports for big field crops.

Healthy, vitamin filled veggies are labor intensive row crops. Congress does NOT vote support money for veggie growers.

 

If I said the things that you falsely accuse me of...

And if they can be taken no other way...

Then is is a simple matter of proving it by "QUOTING" my words and showing the thread in which I posted them.

But you can't because they are mischaracterizations and I did not say them.

I have challenged you over and over to show the words that you claim I have posted and you do not.

 

And here is the concluding paragraph from the article in New Scientist:

So, the super-entity may not result from conspiracy. The real question, says the Zurich team, is whether it can exert concerted political power. Driffill feels 147 is too many to sustain collusion. Braha suspects they will compete in the market but act together on common interests. Resisting changes to the network structure may be one such common interest.

I have no love for Monsanto and am worried about their GMO seeds. Poncho has a valid point here--if you eat corn and sugar in the U.S. it was probably from genetically modified seeds produced by Monsanto.

Yes, that is probably what Monsanto would do. But it could backfire on them as any publicity would lead to the general public getting more educated on GMOs.

Yet 50 (maybe more) countries in the world have banned GMO's or else have stringent testing protocols in place that make their approval a tough process.

There's plenty of other researchers working on the problem of why the bee population is declining, but again, you bring up a good point.

I think it is inevitable that laws demanding more detailed labels on food will be passed.

I read most of this article and it does not present a very compelling case. Again, over 50 countries have banned GMO's and Monsanto is pretty much reviled everywhere except the U.S.

Just when you were scoring points, Alex Jones rears up and ruins your arguments.

The quote above speaks for itself.

A former ambassador to France ASKED the U.S. government to form a list of prospective countries that the U.S. should retaliate against. That's it. No evidence that a list was formed or that any action was taken. In other words, we have a low level bureaucrat making a request--and this is described as a world wide conspiracy by the two-headed beast of U.S. and Monsanto to compel the rest of the world to accept GMOs? Not buying this part of your argument.

 

Or maybe I would like you to give an example of corporations dictating what we produce, how we work, what we eat, drink and breathe...

As I said this is going to be like pulling teeth to get you to do it though. :laugh:
