Dogs -

If you would learn to control your sHiFT key, stop=putting=equal=signs=instead=of spaces, use apostrophes (') instead of commas (,) and generally write more coherently than a two- year-old some of us might actually listen to what you have to say.

As it is, I take one look at your collection of ASCII characters and skip to the next message.

OBVIOUSLY none of you have heard that Monsanto intends to stop shipping non-hybrid seeds in 2000. they intend to ship ONLY HYBRIDS therafter.

And don't forget the (bum-bum-bummmm) Terminator Seed. Also a Monsanto product.

al-d is a seer, friends. Don't throw the baby (letters) out with the (acid) bath water.

And I hope all of you read the thread on this forum (I think) about Monsanto getting in to the water culture. Once they have water rights tied up......? Aqua Culture was in the title of the thread.

It would be a lot better if ald would post relevant and provable topics as the one above, which all of us should be interested in. Thanks ald.

And it would be better if everyone would get off their typing teach mode and pay attention to the message. This is serious stuff folks. He who controls the food and water has it all.

Yes, messing with plant genes is dangerous. So is irradiation. But Y2K will perhaps interrupt this trend.

As we are apparently being subjected to some Al-d clones, would that not come under the heading of GENETIC POLLUTION?

-- Dogs (are@drunk.too), August 18, 1999.

I regret to say, as a semi-official lurker, that I agree with Y2K- Gardener. I thought that the Dogs person was perhaps adopting an Artist Formerly Known as Prince attitude toward everything, i.e. Eye know what U R doing, sort of thing. Now the mist falls from my eyes, it's just a typo thing--remember what George Orwell said about bad English--something about it being the end of everything. I agree. But, hey, in the words of some rappers(2-PAC) I AIN'T MAD ATCHA!!!!!

Al-d has been banned from Pastor Chris's site for some time. They seem to have higher standards over there and chased this fool away. You see, Mr. Driscol is somewhat of a scumbag that wouldn't pay his gambling debts and took the 'boys' to court for attempting to collect. The story is that he won a settlement of $11 million dollars (guess they were asking real hard for the money owed) but has yet to see a penny of it. He and his wife (Marianne) were pleading for the folks on Pastor Chris's site to pray for them....to no avail. He is giving the hillbilly's of the world a bad name, not to mention the honest Christians of the world. Unfortunately, he has developed somewhat of a following on this forum and continues to pollute the threads at will. Kind of like waiting to see what the village idiot will do next....

I happily eat pure flounder. Why would having genes from flounder in other (cooked) foods be a big problem to me? (Now, the vegetarians will doubtless have a different take on this). I was a premed for 3 years, which includes taking a 300-level bioscience-major genetics course, so some technical content is O.K. in your answer (in fact, it is preferred). Well?
