Monsanto goes marching on with their "bad science". This is truly alarming.

The video is not very accurate in the presentation. For example, the on the case between Monsanto and Schmeiser and the interview with Schmeiser presented a far different representation than the facts of the case do.

"The appellants actively cultivated Roundup Ready Canola as part of their business operations," a majority led by Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin and Mr. Justice Morris Fish concluded. "In light of all of the relevant considerations, the appellants used the patented genes and cells, and infringement is established.

"By cultivating a plant containing the patented gene and composed of the patented cells without licence, the appellants deprived the respondents of the full enjoyment of the monopoly," they said, writing on behalf of Mr. Justice Ian Binnie, Mr. Justice Jack Major and Madam Justice Marie Deschamps. "The appellants' involvement with the disputed canola was also clearly commercial in nature."

Mr. Schmeiser saved the seed and reused it "for production and advantage," the majority noted. "Whether or not patent protection for the gene and the cell extends to activities involving the plant is not relevant to the patent's validity."

In assessing damages after the original trial, Judge MacKay noted that tests revealed that 1,030 acres of the canola on the farm were more than 95 per cent resistant to the herbicide.

Today, my son informed me that the three bags of tortilla chips I bought at City Market had Monsanto GMO corn in them.
I have found that the antennae and very large ears we have developed are very good for enjoying my solar acid electric blues metal guitar playing. Today was some of the heaviest I have ever played in all my years since 1965. The antennae let me remember the return to the songs made up for our Creator and from Him. I have also been able to feel the presence of animals and people observing me for many years. I have been able to stand outside the universe and within a meson cloud at the same time since 44 years ago.
No Monsanto GMO then, but I have been able to communicate with plants for a number of years. Swarm intelligence is understood but still confounding to my antennae. I can close my ears and hear music of beauty when unpleasant noises like rap are briefly on the TV or garbage trucks going by once a week, cause disturbance. I can see for miles and miles and miles, and travel the windswept sands and currents in time back and forth billions of years, and back 137 years to the mutilation of my friends. Now for Gary Owen!
Thanks Monsanto!!!!! Have a chip!!!:lol:

There's little more amusing than a self-proclaimed science proponent suffering from a bad case of GMOphobia.
