"Monsanto vs. Percy Schmeiser was heard in a Canadian court June 5 - 20, 2000. According to reports, Monsanto never directly tried to explain how their genes got into Schmeiser's field. In fact, the Western Producer, a Canadian agriculture magazine, quoted Monsanto attorney, Roger Hughes, as saying, "Whether Mr. Schmeiser knew of the matter or not matters not at all." In other words, Schmeiser's fields were contaminated by Monsanto's GM technology, and it didn't matter if Schmeiser was aware of the contamination or not. They were going to make him pay for it! Percy Schmeiser said, "It was a very frightening thing because they said it does not matter how it gets into a farmer's field; it's their property... if I would go to St. Louis (Monsanto headquarters) and contaminate their plots--destroy what they have worked on for 40 years--I think I would be put in jail and the key thrown away."

"Hilton said he has information that bin Laden died several years ago of kidney failure."

offense taken

my neighbors have gone from being annoying to truly becoming a blight. when the dogs would annoy the crap out of me id try to take solace by telling myself that at least they werent ridiculously loud otherwise. but with their nearly club volume party music the other night and tonight with the stereo now a fixture on their roof accompanied by some shithead banging spastically on bongos at one in the morning, i cant but wish them a slow and painful death. they have nearly zero consideration for their neighbors. they must be pissing off people in at least eight buildings. someone must have called the police last week but that only shut them down for two hours before they cranked up the volume from midnight to 4am. how do you combat this sort of tyranny in civil society?
