The GMO lobby is back, this time battling a “November ballot initiative to ban biotech crops” in California’s Sonoma County, reports PRWatch. As I typed this, this Q just hit me: Do GMO crops fit in with the theory of intelligent design? Darwin (our mascot frog), what say you?

would argue against intelligent design, but then if one isn’t intelligent then how would one know what was intelligent? OH yeah – we have to have faith in our leaders – blech!
My answer would be a no except insofar as there is the opportunity for corporate profits.
are successful, because they are clearly increasing in popularity. Organisms, species and ideas don’t need to be logical, they just need to increase in population size.
This fight is just up the road from me and getting very interesting. The last time a ballot measure was up for GMO was November in Napa count IIRC and GMO lost. Big money was thrown at the last measure and I would expect the same.
Small and large farmers have discovered a HUGE market for organic crops here. It takes 10 years to get certified and having GMO in the neighborhood puts it all at risk.
Let nature do it’s thing…“it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature” if you are old enough – name the ad campaign
Okay – still on GMO – it is my understanding that Orville Redenbacher popcorn has GMO corn in it. Newman’s Own doesn’t have GMO corn, is a blue company, and is cheaper than O.Redenbacher. So next time you buy microwave popcorn…something to ponder. :^)
Could be a “Senior Moment” however…:{)
Is the site running slooooow today, or is it just me?
for some reason the blogads are loading slowly, which is slowing down the whole site.
I was going to mention that booman, page loads up right away, but blog ads take forever…
That was happening on Kos last night too. ‘cept Kos loaded far more slowly.
I have just been clicking the x(refresh button) when the page is loading and it get to blog ads(it just stops the images from blog ads loading., and then I can do everything, post or read or diary. so it seems to be the images from blog ads that takes the time..loading; according to my page meter it can take up to and over 3 minutes to load the img. and it loads the page in 6 or so secs.
That closing line was my favorite part of the ad…and GMO is right up there with fooling Mother Nature.
Ah shucks, twern’t ‘nut-n-honey’…I’m almost embarrassed – for some reason that just popped out…:{)
Here’s another article about this from Sonoma County’s Santa Rosa Press Democrat newspaper, highlighting another wrinkle in the whole thing.
I think the best argument against creationism is that antibiotics are losing their efficacy, and new super-bugs are popping up that eat penicillin for breakfast.
Isn’t this smoking-gun evidence of evolution, evolution we can watch happen in a Petri dish? Seems obvious enough to me.
The X-tian right loves social darwinism…
