False. A company can be neither good nor evil.

Next topic.



They can when they are treated as a separate entity.

Like, investing in the destruction of poor people's lives. That is evil.

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

Not only are they ruining the crops of their neighbors, but the neighbors of their test fields were sued for "stealing" their crops because of the cross pollination.


craziest bullsh*t I've ever heard of.

well, maybe with the exception of the lady that sued a store for tripping over an unruly child and breaking her wrist. She won even, but it was because the jury wasn't allowed to know that she tripped over her OWN unruly child.

Boycott anything with non organic corn or soy. Almost everything has soybean oil. Also any milk or dairy product that uses RBST hormones. Those hormones are a Monsanto product. And of course round-up. (there are knock off brands, but pickling vinegar works well on weeds around you yard) I am not aware of any others at the moment. It's easy if you just buy organic.

I will never support the patenting of life. Next up, let's modify the air we breathe so that we can patent it!!!

Patent and copyright laws are out of control, that's for sure.

Most milk I see at the store say they are RBST free. I try to buy mostly organic.

I haven't seen any milk with it in a long time, it has been banned in Canada for a long time.
