http://www.sightings.com/earthchanges/ladybug.htm This is an article on ladybugs in Scotland that were dying from eating aphids that had fed on a genetically altered potato crop. It's just the tip of the iceberg me thinks. Barb >>>>>>>>> Worse yet, Monsanto has inserted a "terminator" gene that prevents germination of seeds produced by crops from Monsanto seeds. Thus, farmers have to buy new seeds every year. And the pollen from Monsanto terminator crops turn other natural crops into terminator-seed producers, thus ending the natural cycle of crop and seed and forcing farmers who didn't buy from Monsanto to begin doing so. This is truly an evil system and should be flatly outlawed. Sam > I believe there is a difference between using selection to optimize what you > want, and hybridization, and genetic engineering.
