    I'm just happy the left is actually attacking a Corporation that is actually corrupt. The funny part is that Monsanto is a leftist corporation that promotes the United Nations and Agenda 21.

    What exactly does leftist mean?


    There's common ground between "left" and "right" now more than ever. If you reframe it as ruling class and citizens... it seems a lot more accurate, and there is a lot more agreement.

    Maybe you guys haven't noticed, but the media often portrays occupy protestors as "anarchists." Where'd that oxymoron thread go?

    Increasing amounts of people are recognizing problems. We're still in the identification phase... moreso than the solution phase.

    Nothing wrong with business.

    What is wrong with Monsanto and many other corporations that fall under 'crony capitalism' is the limited liability as well as the collusion with the media that keeps criticism of their backs, which is certainly convenient.. But that's what media does for their advertisers. It's a bunch of backscratching. You pay me money for ads, I'll get your back if you ever need it. In that regard advertisements are more than direct advertising, but a sort of unwritten insurance policy, buying the editors.

    If corporations are people, how come they are not liable ?

    A lot of those people would identify the problem as rich people controlling government. In these parts, people identify it as businesses controlling government.

    I'll submit this for your consideration. If businesses are large enough to control government, aren't we also talking about rich people controlling government?

    Monsanto is a corporation doing nothing illegal.

    The real target should be the bureaucracy in DC.

    Kind of like Occupy targeting the big banks when they should be targeting the Federal Reserve.

    Warlord is embarrassed by this spectacle.

    This is a great post from GunnyFreedom on the subject from last year.

    Warlord thinks Gunny is wrong to call for Federal labelling and frame it as a stop gap measure.

    Since when has ANY increase in the bureaucracies power and budget been "stop-gap".

    Please no... Warlord would rather not have the Feds labeling food. It's a clear violation of the constitution and Monsanto will just find some way of evading it anyway because they own most of the administrators and have bought off the politicians.

    GMO food labeling would fit under the "Commerce Clause" of the Constitution, I believe.

    Then shouldn't the criticism be of the government for giving unfair advantages to certain businesses and interfering in the market place?

    So basically, since we don't currently have a free market, the solution is to make the market even less free?

    Under an expansive (and wrong) interpretation it would but then if you recognize the Feds can label food you have to accept they can mandate you to buy healthcare and everything else which as you know was never the intention of the Founding fathers vision of a limited government with enumerated powers.

    We personally agree. That's solution phase.

    I'm trying to say that we will get more people to agree with our solution if we get more people to understand they are identifying the same problems as us. As it is, there are a bunch of people who can barely identify the problem. There are groups of passionate people who understand the problem exists, even if we don't all agree on the solution. We have a lot in common with those "leftists" just like "neocons" are different from "conservatives."

    I see what you are saying, but I think what GunnyFreedom did was limited to the state of NC. If you want to get rid of all government federal and state, then I'm all for it. I think states deciding what is good for them might be a practical solution for the time being. Monsanto, in my opinion, is playing with nature in a strong-armed way that could *potentially* be devastating to everyone on the planet. Can you say for sure that GMO could not cause loss of crop diversity and lead to a catastrophic failure of the food supply? I think people should have some say in how these companies operate within the current system that we have. At the very least, companies should be able to voluntarily label their food as non-GMO without fear of being sued.

    GMO Labeling can be done at the State Level too.

    Oh please Monsanto is big into corporate welfare and pits small farms out of business everyday while selling foods on the market that are toxic because theiR honchos control the fad and the user and the crank out regulations that knocks the little guy in the dirt if you call that free market I give up.

    And only ignorant people who have no knowledge of the poisons in GMO's would make such a flippant comment. This isn't a left/right issue this is a right/wrong issue, plain and simple.

    Monsanto is a giant swallowing all the little people whole. They destroy anyone who gets in their way of making profits.

    Monsanto should be closed down and the top echelons (past and present) should be arrested and stand trial for crimes against humanity.
