I am bewildered by US "University Experts" who embrace, defend, and promote GMOs to a generally uninformed American public. I am floored by the simplistic way James E McWilliams characterized Bt Corn -- as "Insect Resistent". Organic farmers use natrual Bt which persists for only hours in their gardens and fields. Bt Corn contains Bt insecticide in every cell. Bt Corn is not just insect resistent -- it is an insecticide. When it comes to academic research regarding GMO, I am concerned the US no longer has true unbiased science -- it is all purchased and predetermined by the biotech industry.

HE WAS DISCARGED FROM THE SERVICE, AND WAS GIVEN NO FOLLOW UP TREATMENT, AFTER HE WAS INCARCERATED FOR THROWING A GRENADE INTO THE TENT OF HIS FELLOW SOLIDERS. ALSO, THERE WAS ANOTHER YOUNG MAN WHO DID SOMETHING SIMILAR. WHY IS THIS TIME SO DRAMATIC AND NOT BEFORE? WHAT ABOUT THE DC SNIPER?
