Who actually likes Monstanto? I imagine a vast majority of the American people would support an outright shutdown of their business.

- lumberjack 9y agoThey do create useful products so they cannot be shutdown. The problem is in doing so, we trust them with too much power. In this case we are trusting them, not to poison our children in the name of profit.
- bpodgursky 9y agoLuckily we still have the rule of law, so the majority can't simply shut down a company they dislike based on an internet misinformation campaign.
- colordrops 9y agoCampaign implies organization. Who do you suppose is working to shut down Monsanto?
- bpodgursky 9y agoA mob can be stupid and dangerous without a sinister corporate backing. Who is funding the anti-vaccine campaign? Nobody. It's stupid online bloggers and dishonest researchers egging each other on with fake news.
- colordrops 9y agoit's not a campaign then.
- cholantesh 9y agoBig organic.
- ada1981 9y agoSeems that Monsanto is running the misinformation campaign.

- 0xbear 9y agoI like Monsanto and use roundup to spray weeds behind the house so I don't have to trim them. I would be very disappointed if I could not do this, because those weeds grow on a rather steep grade and trimming there is a nightmare. For the record, based on the science available to me (nut job tree hugger sites are not science), I consider roundup to be safe when used as intended.
