Evolution BT Corn Genes and Bug Genes

http://www.myspace.com/acorvettes
Splice the genes for a naturally pest-killing microbe into a crop plant so that the corn or wheat or potato plants themselves become lethal to the pests. No more wasteful -- and expensive -- spraying of toxic pesticides. Instead, the bugs taste the leaves and go off to die.

Indisputably, it works. The genes of Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt, have been added to corn, cotton, potatoes, and other crops, with the desired results. Scientists are aware, however, that any effort to manipulate the ecological balance must reckon with the evolutionary consequences. So even before the first Bt crops were planted, scientists, farmers, and regulators began worrying about unintended effects.

Monsanto pays politicians millions to pass bills to create ways to increase billions in production per acre, so farmer over produce. The politicians then use tax dollars (not the "campaign contributions" to subsidize the farmers when they are unable to sell the surplus corn.

It came from NOVA Frontline. It was originally broadcast in April, 2001 in a show called Harvest of Fear. Hope this helps your research project!

Monsanto is out to control everything and kill us all....

Put yourself in their position: if you had no morels, and all the most modern bio-technology in the world to control life... What would you do?

They'll freaking destory the natural world, I'm positive of it.
