I just got an interesting e-mail...

About 20 years ago, the Scientologists were on the offensive against psychiatry, their people would call in to radio and TV talk shows, saying they wanted to talk about something but then launch into their anti-psychiatry spiel.

Few of them got very far before being hung up on.

A guy I know sent me an e-mail today, he said the anti-GMO groups like organic advocates, have put out the word that their people are to get on message boards, especially liberal ones, while they don't use deception to get on in the first place, their spiels are deceptive, using dodgy at best web sites, and already-debunked accusations against GMO's, Monsanto and anyone who even tries to defend GMO research, like Bill Nye the Science Guy.

And all you have is hysterics, lies and cons from organic advocates like Jeff Smith?

(Good summary here)

But...

Feel free to post the latest accusations from "Natural News" or the "Food Babe."

I think it's a perfectly acceptable request that GMO food is labeled.

I really don't care if it exists or people eat it IF they CHOOSE to.
