The Libertarian Case AGAINST Mandatory GMO Labeling

[better-dead-than-fed]

A company writing the legislation to govern themselves (particularly if they buy and sell the legislators in order to pass it) is not freedom of speech, it's corporatism. Corporatism is also known as crony capitalism, or fascism, according to it's definition. Which you are once again defending. Your equating of dictionary-definition corporatism with freedom of speech is perhaps the clearest example of your defense of fascism yet.

Here came the argument that Monsanto employees should be denied Freedom of Speech.

How would altering DNA structure "in any way" make it no longer a banana?

The more relevant question is whos banana? why should my genome becomes some corporate/government controlled asshat's intellectual property?

You used at least three of these in that one sentence alone.

So what was the relevance of your statement: "Monsanto Openly Wrote Own Monsanto Protection Act"?

How would altering DNA structure "in any way" make it no longer a banana? Artificial genetic-modification is as old as agriculture itself. Do you dispute the FDA's position: "Most, if not all, cultivated food crops have been genetically modified"?

So you think that the action of enforcing fascism is freedom of speech?

Gosh, I guess Benito Mussolini was just misunderstood all this time...

FROM the article....

Quite frankly I think it’s important to understand that the entire Senate passed the bill containing the Protection Act, but the politician who actually gave Monsanto the pen in order to write their very own legislation is no others than Roy Blunt — a Republican Senator from Missouri. As the latest IB Times article reveals, the Missouri politician worked with Monsanto to write the Monsanto Protection Act. This was confirmed by a New York news report I will get to shortly.

There went the argument that Mussolini should have been denied Freedom of Speech, and that therefore Monsanto employees should be denied Freedom of Speech.

So we shouldn't be fighting fascism? Not even Mussolini himself?

Well, at least you've openly revealed that much now.

Food Democracy Now, a major activist organization that organized signatures to fight the Monsanto Protection Act, described the rider: “The Monsanto Protection Act would force the USDA to allow continued planting of any GMO crop under court review, essentially giving backdoor approval for any new genetically engineered crops that could be potentially harmful to human health or the environment.” Sounds like a great idea, right?

It sounds similar to Acts forcing the government to allow continued production of cars, essentially giving backdoor approval for any new car that could be potentially harmful to human health or the environment.

LOL you are the one defending dictionary-definition fascism as though it were 'freedom of speech.' I take it you get a lot of mileage out of the "I am rubber, you are glue..." argument eh?

Well, just speaking for myself I believe America should have stayed out of WWII as well.

Just label it! Damn, I want to know and 90+ percent of Americans want to know. Or better yet, just ban it!

Eight additiona national governments in the European Union have banned Monsanto's MON810 maize and other forms of GMO cultivation in their countries. Add them to the list. The growing list.

Austria

Bulgaria

France

Germany

Greece

Hungary

Luxembourg

Poland


Moving forward...

The link you just posted does nothing but demonstrate your fundamental misunderstanding of taxonomy.

In which other posts has this subject been "answered"?

Just pay for the labels, and I'll make them for you.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

I am definitely going to let that absurdity stand as a monument in demonstration of my point.

 

[affa]

i hate Monsanto. That is all.

Rather misleading, don't you think? I mean, bombs have been around a long time, but defending nuking a country because 'it's just a bomb' is... well, misleading.

GMO food crops affect everyone due to the natural spread of seeds.
