Attention Californians: David vs. Monsanto Documentary

Let's say that Monsanto's patented seeds make their way onto a guy's farm and mix with his crops. A minute and a half into the video they mention that Monsanto then has the right to those crops. What would happen though if another company had a patented seed that also blew onto the same guy's farm and mixed with the same crops? Would the crops be divided between Monsanto and that other company? I would think that would be a tremendous way to illustrate the absurdity of patenting seeds (life).

Hope everyone gives for this effort!
BUMP and vote up.
I gave money to the cause for labeling from that site.-
I buy products from the site. Into 'natural' and 'organic"
My charge on my card was stopped.
The fraud dept of my Credit card left a message on my cell a day later that I had unusual , "suspicious" activity.
[ Insert here: Have given money from Politics, organic issues, environmental issues and to animal cruelty. ORGANIC and political are the two most frequent. Not a big sum but felt if everyone did their part, it would at least help. None were 'suspicious' Money is given to senate races in other states. and with RP, the most sustained and large amounts ever. Never was even one of those considered 'suspicious' though the amounts were quite a bit larger]
Of the three cards I have, it's normal to have from 200 to 1,000 in charges on that one by the end of the month. Total of my bill so far [this billing cycle just started and all cards are paid in full every month, paying no interest.] was $62. First they said they had stopped the use of my card because of suspicious activity ....WHAT?... I asked what charge was suspicious? Yep, of 2 charges, it was the one for labeling GMO's. The organization even has 'ORGANIC' in their title, nothing new here. I laughed and repeated the name of the 'suspicious' charge, then was told it was the other charge. [one that is small and is an auto pay every month]They would restart my card availability *soon. SOON? That sounded strange, not immediately? I asked about that and was told I should still use the card, what was charged would be paid. A short 'hold' on payment is just temporary. Is that the norm? I think not. Humm......since the money is needed for ads BEFORE election, *how many others have experienced this who gave to the franken food labeling? Don't think my small donation will make or break the outcome but if doing it to a lot of people's donations? Would have an impact if they can hold up money......you don't think they are in bed together do you? Want to know if I'm just being paranoid. Actually, in today's world who isn't?

This is a very intricate issue. Biotech produced GMO's are not free market products(patents, subsidies, cronies etc.), so stating the consumer has a choice to avoid them is much like the supreme court saying we have a choice between buying mandated private health insurance or paying a tax.

I don't believe this is the best way of solving the issue. I'd much rather see the patents and subsidies stripped entirely. However, in order to provide something closer to a choice between one state mandated thing and the other, labeling will make that complete.

Though the Organic Consumers Association, the organization who steered activists into an interest in labeling(instead of something like removing subsidies or patents) is a Merck funded organization, which is just fine with the existence of monopolies, as long as you have a 'choice' as a consumer.

Substantial equivalence is a LIE. If it were equivalent, how can they receive a patent? For those arguing free market principles, GE food can not survive in a free market. They are rigging the market. They control the regulators, and the courts, and state and national legislatures, by threatening legal action, whenever and wherever there are initiatives to bring their products into the light of day. I wrote the Governor of Vermont, and he replied that the state couldn't afford legal battles with Monsanto, so they killed the labeling initiative in Vermont. They threatened Percy's bank(!), and the bank rolled over. Close Percy's account or we withdrawal all of our money nationwide. Their science is fraudulent. Their legal standing is based on fraud. Monsanto is a racket, and this whole ugly, corporate-crazed experiment with the food is going on in your belly.

First minute, and this is what jumps out in response to the "let the free market take care of it" crowd.

Monsanto has a patent on these products/seeds. They have a patent on living organisms. This is wrong on so many levels.

So the government - in this case, the Federal government is already involved. But the "let the free market take care of it" crowd says "leave the government out of it?" The government is already in it. The government is all over it. The government created the problem in the first place by handing out the patent.

And then you say, "let the free market" take care of it? Impossible.

You may disagree with the tactic. You may say the effort should be aimed at repealing the patents at the federal level, and forcing Monsanto to play by free market rules. I agree with that, too.
