   I'd argue that what you're talking about isn't really a problem with GMOs so much as a problem with a lack of regulation.

    As soon as I decided that I would use Sublime Text, I happily paid for a license. It's a great piece of software, and an investment in my productivity. Well worth the price.

    I get what you mean, but as far as I can see your first two paragraphs only amount to conjecture. I don't see how you can draw any conclusions about ADHD from that. I do know of these cases, of course, but the field of mental illness i
