Yes, Monsanto developed the terminator gene technology.

They have never used it in their products.

Yes, Monsanto enforces their contract that prohibits seed saving by farmers. If farmers want to use seed saved from harvest for the next year's crop, they have to use some other source for their initial seed. Most US and European farmers were already buying seed every year before GMO seed became available. This was less common with soybeans, but the trend was there.

...and I could tell how I got kicked off the school's timeshare account. It was my partner-in-crime who got us caught. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot -- GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

In Wisconsin, a police officer can interrogate a student who is a minor all he wants unless the student is a suspect, the school district has a policy forbidding it, or the parent is present (and objects). I was surprised to discover this when my son was questioned as a witness before anyone said anything to us about it. My son came home and struggled a bit with explaining that he was questioned by the police. My son has comprehension problems (he's getting better) and I don't think he really understood what was going on.

Last night's NCIS repeatedly mentioned the ATF's infamous Fast & Furious operation. That doesn't fit with your statement that the show "has always used an 'ends justify the means' attitude".

I'm currently carting around 200 books in my Kindle.

Bacon is BAD for you? NOOOO!!!! I REFUSE to believe it!!!

Try a real e-reader, not that Sony piece of crap. I would have thrown that Sony against the wall the first time it took an hour to do anything. Try a bottom-end Kindle. It's way better than what you describe.

Either boomers and millennials are completely different, the millennials need to try a REAL e-reader or I'm unusual. I like reading on my e-ink Kindle with no back-light better than reading a printed book.

An interesting article from Car & Driver magazine, June, 1980.

The conclusion?

"The test is over. It's obvious our subjects are as high as they're going to get. It is also obvious—and a little disappointing—that their driving abilities as determined by our two tests have not been particularly impaired, have not shown dramatic deterioration."

Visit the link for more details, including comments by an assistant research scientist specializing in drugs and their effects on driving at the Highway Safety Research Institute in Ann Arbor. (Hint -- the Car & Driver results are consistent with other tests.)

Are you paranoid if people are trying to do exactly what you think they are?

According to the University of Florida it's malaria that has been eradicated, not the Anopheles mosquito.

Untrue. There are fields near my house that have been in corn continuously for at least 5 years. When the price of corn is high, it's worth buying tons of fertilizer. It probably has all of the bad effects that you write about, but it happens.
