I wonder if some clever lawyer can turn the tables on Monsanto by suing them for littering. After all they do claim to own the relevant gene. Aren't you then responsible for not throwing properties that belong to you on other people's land? It won't work of course, because if corporations are forced to confront their inherent hypocrisies, the economy would be turned upside down. Still, it'd be a cool stunt.. -raghu. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
