Michael Nystrom's picture

Fifteen minutes in, and what is clear

is that the law of unintended consequences (and let us not forget that it is a law) is going to come back and bite so hard on these GMO crops. Every year, the chemicals need to get stronger because the super weeds get stronger ... monocrops ... yields going down ... suicide seeds ... Monsanto has complete control over the farmer ... the farmer is completely gagged by contract, and cannot ever sue.

The farmer contracts all of his rights away - voluntarily in the case of those who sign on with Monsanto, but involuntarily in the event his farm is contaminated accidentally. "Monsanto has more power than any government."

All this makes perfectly clear why Ralph Nader calls corporations "private tyrannies."

Can someone tell me how you fight this in the "free market?"
