Whenever I lose faith in the naive goodness of humans, I look up Norman Borlaug again. The sacrifices that man has made for the greater good might look trivial in the books of history but it saved a billion people from certain starvation. Mexico, India and Pakistan would have fallen to anarchy long ago if not for him. I agree corporations like Monsanto took his line of work to evil proportions, but I am grateful that the first hands to wield the weapon of GM crops were of Norman Borlaug. His legacy will never be forgotten and will always be a guiding light to states and statesmen for centuries to come.
