[AT] OT--game changer

[charlie hill]

The whole GMO and Round Up thing has been batted around
for as long as Round Up has been on the market.  It's been in
continuous use here in Coastal NC for at least 30 years.
Logic would dictate that if there really is a buggy man hiding
in the Round Up jug that there would statistical proof of it by
now in terms of a spike in some sort of disease problem both
in humans and livestock.

After seeing many peer reviewed papers retracted for errors or outright
fraud I am skeptical - maybe there is something there so I will not
eliminate that thought but there is also the political (popular) push to
eliminate "all risks". Add to that international politics and agenda
driven (both pro and con) and I come back to being generally skeptical.

I do not farm but I did grow up more or less on a farm. Even so I'm not
closed minded to the potential but as with all I'm skeptical of
something promoted in mass media.
