And carry a big light sabre
Oh shit, I totally got lost at the pumpkin patch once :slaps:
I also was hired to be the guy that chases youth groups through the corn maze with a chainsaw. A better job I will never have.
With all due respect it feels a little like a couple of you are implying that any concerns against GM products are a misunderstanding or disagreement with science. I take exception(though not offense by any stretch) to that on the grounds that I and probably a couple others here have a pretty solid foundation in science. Science isn't a consensus of what we know it's an ever-evolving process of discovery, as well as a methodology for said discovery. Without an abundance of data we can't make assumptions about the efficacy or safety of research, and yet that is what people selling GM fruits and vegetables spliced with animal or bacterial genes are expecting the world to do. Science doesn't accept things as fact, there are no facts in science only best guesses based on available data. The scariest thing about the science of GM products is that the bulk of it is funded by corporate interests. To give you all an analogy, what happens when the national institute of drug abuse(NIDA) sponsors research into the "dangers" of cannabis? They usually get exactly the results they were looking for...
It does seem many folks are skeptical of GMOs based on second hand information and the bad behavior patterns exhibited by corporations such as mansanto. My personal thought on this is the companies make their jobs a lot harder when they don't factor public relations into their actions. How different would this thread be if there was more trust in the folks manipulating the genes? The fact is mutation is a necessary part of life because there is only one constant in our universe: Change.
