What legacy do we leave behind for our children and grandchildren?

(MEDIA, PA) - Agent Orange herbicide being lifted off the deck of the USS White Plains (AFS-4) for delivery by an HC-3 helicopter during a 1970 deployment to Vietnam.

The Monsanto Rider Is Much, Much Worse Than GMOs

This rider actually goes further than what Monsanto and Dow did in Vietnam.

Obama Signs `Monsanto Protection Act` Written by Monsanto-Sponsored Senator

People need to understand the immense difference between statutory law (or civil law?) and common law.

It includes a star chamber - a "court" outside of the legal system, with unlimited funding through raids and fines and with no oversight whatsoever, which could impose any "remedy" on anyone, not excluding seizure of all they own, limitless imprisonment, torture or execution/assassination.

Monsanto Wants Oregon`s Legislature to Limit Local Rights

Petition will stop Monsanto's bill that would block local decision-making around GE foods.

(SALEM) - Monsanto cares so much about our wellbeing that they founded "Oregonians for Food & Shelter" — a group promoting a bill in the Oregon state legislature that would prevent communities from banning genetically engineered crops.

Something tells me their front group is more concerned about Monsanto's bottom line than they are about Oregonians.

US Government Released `Investigations into Allegations of Herbicide Orange on Okinawa, Japan`

The report also casts doubt on whether the Japanese Government honestly requested the US Government to carry out a thorough investigation with its aim of seeking the truth.
