I really don't know where Arizona rates in terms of public education. I'm thinking more in terms of university teachers who are not tenured, which is a whole issue unto itself, leaving. But it certainly would apply to primary and secondary. I thought the Arizona universities were reasonably good, and U of A has a fairly respected astronomy department, but I'm not really informed in that area.

I'm from Arizona, born there and lived there for over 40 years before I got married and moved away. Personally, I really hope this law passes and you start seeing the quality of the education system (debatable though that is) decline rapidly as teachers move away. I think it's going to take crap like this to actually break the government system before we get rid of the idiots now in charge.

Within that excerpt, I would agree. But the point of Monsanto GMO seed is that it is created to be resistant to Round-Up, a pesticide (also a Monsanto product) that would definitely be against that regulation. With a crop being Round-Up resistant, they can blanket-spray the entire crop without damage to it. Except that we now havev Round-Up-resistant critters appearing.

And I, as a person who is immuno-compromised, cannot get the shingles vaccine, nor any live vaccine. When my mom had shingles three years ago and I had just been diagnosed with CVID, I couldn't visit my parents for a month. If my wife or anyone I'm phyiscally close to ever gets a live virus injection, I'm supposed to stay away from her for like a month or more.

I'm glad doctors are threatening these people, they need a stiff wake-up call upside the head.

Thank you for posting this, I was not aware that the Army was conducting such studies. It's an interesting read, and definitely food for thought. I still am undecided, I need time to mull these over and I still think it's definitely an invasion of privacy, it's the radiation issue that I'm concerned about since I already have genetic damage and an immune disorder.
