@IanEiloart You’re kidding, right? :) -
@aral Have you read it? Do you think it’s evil to increase crop yields while reducing resource usage? -
@IanEiloart I think it’s evil to give a transnational corporation _intellectual property rights_ over our staple foods, yes. -
@aral Ah, well I’m with you there. But, it’s the patent authorities that need sorting out. And they don’t have IPR on existing crops. -
@IanEiloart No, but do read up on their practices. They’ve destroyed farms that were nearby and got infected by their crops, etc. Predatory. -
@aral Monstanto destroyed other people’s property? That would be a criminal act, right? -
@IanEiloart It has, in the past, when its crops infected nearby fields (the farmer, then, is illegally growing Monsanto’s property) - 3 more replies
