They appreciate Monsanto's generosity so much they're burning it. Awesome, and good for them!

9. This is the best news I've heard all week.

besides unemployment benefits being extended (which I may be needing soon...).

10. Good for them!

13. Dear Haitian Farmers,

Rec'd.

14. Is there any charity that is donating real seeds to Hati

seeds that people can save and grow another crop of real food from? I would love to donate to it.

15. I've been looking and can't find anything specifically for seed.

But .... was disappointed to learn the Monsanto freak seed is to be distributed by USAID. A gov't of a poor, ravaged nation will be hard-pressed not to accept this, imo. Let's just hope Jean-Baptiste and the Haitian farmers who know what happens when Monsanto moves in can fight it off. What Monsanto is doing is evil, and sad.

18. Now if somebody would only send them a Tom VilSuck voodoo doll

and make their protest against MonSatan complete. :evilgrin:

And I'd like to see other farmers stand in solidarity with the Haitians.

19. Now maybe the U.S. can do something about their control

over seeds and their thugs visiting farmers with threats, who do what farmers always have done, collect and save their seeds for the following year. How did this murderous Corporation ever get a patent on something that should be free for all people to use?

Good for those Haitian Farmers. Amazing that they know more than the average American about how these huge Corps operate and what a trap they would have been in had they accepted their 'gift'.

24. Whoops, turns out the donated seeds were non-GMO seeds.

I guess Haiti's got it's problems solved if it wants to burn donations.

[Matariki]

25. got a link for that claim, contrary man?

[derby378]

26. Nice, but how much did they REALLY burn?

"A symbolic quantity," for all I know, could mean a single seed got torched.
