Can you identify some of the laws that favor corporate owners that you want changed?

So you want to eliminate patents.

You can pass to Arleen if you want but you know darn well that there is no Monsanto patent law. Even Arleen will tell you that all you did was post a useless gripe that you want to shake your fist at from the comfort of your couch.

You want to try another law....some other law that favor corporate owners that you want changed.

Still stop by the Outlaw? You've probably been to the south location, right?

The December 10th, 2001 Supreme Court ruling effectively expanded the patent laws to allow biotech companies (Monsato) to not only patent genetically modified seed but also conventional varieties as well.

See if you can find a farmer who does not know about this, or thinks it is anything other than a law that favors corporate owners and should be changed.



Interesting that you would denied it rather than simply cop to not knowing about it. I mean you’re not a farmer right?

You’re turn now – Is this application of the patent laws proper, or should it be changed?

You're mad about a Supreme Court decision from 10 years ago! The exact same law and court ruling applies to you if you went out and invented some genetically modified seed. Then you would be the corporate owner biotech that the corporate owner farmers didn't like. You just sound bitter.

So you want to go change the patent laws to expressly go after Monsanto and think that will hold up in court? Over the last 10 years have the Republicans or your beloved Democrats made any effort to do this?!

And your factual basis for that statement is......?

Right. Didn't think so.

The corporation is attempting to control all food grown in the world via patents and modifying seed to only work for one grow season. This cross pollinates, ruins other crops, they sue those farmers who accidentally are cross pollinated for 'stealing' their property and hurt emerging and poor countries and the over-all health and well being of the entire planet with their genetically modified food stuff.

So yes, the food population for the planet going forward is important enough to get rid of some patents. No one has gone after this because both parties are bought and paid for, something that has been said over and over.
