        @Advil I don’t fret over the effect of truth on people. It’s the effect of falsehoods that’s dangerous.

        @maxkeiser @neiltyson So what's your concern about GMOs, if terminator seeds don't exist?

        @neiltyson natural hybridization isn't the same as the frankenfruit GMO that Monsanto is making Neil.
