    Hello,

    Cross-pollination occurs after the crops are grown. It doesn't have anything to do with the seeds. And typically, the farmer could keep seed from the GMO crop, but he is forbidden to do so by contract. He must buy new GMO seed each year. The GMO company (like Monsanto) runs periodic inspections of the farms to verify that the farmer is not keeping back crop seed.

    Cross-pollination means that the farmer whose field is contaminated is now in violation of the GMO company's contract and must pay the GMO company compensation for the "use of" the GMO crop. This has been established in court.

    Focus on Monsanto. They are not invincible. Be kind with each other. Concentrate your ire on Monsanto.

    Call a run on BigBanks! Pull your cash out and put it into a local bank or better yet, a credit union (where YOU are a member, not a customer). Check out www.moveyourmoney.info (<---not .org... ---> .INFO) for a list of local banks in your area. Local banks lend locally, trans-national banks suck the money out of communities and use their power against the people!

    Has anyone also noted that as the packaged goods shrink, the waistlines grow? It is as if they are adding corn sweeteners and hormones to make us seem as if we are over-eating while our paychecks and buying power shrink.
    Good idea...stop buying convenience foods and make your own stuff.

    Hey....why are a group of bankers joined for a common cause proudly called a "lobby" while a group of workers are denigrated as "unions"?
