PaulW, do you work for or have family that works for Monsanto? Because I can't understand why you would go to such lengths to defend such an immoral company. Commenting on someone's candidate in a thread discussing GMOs is an obvious attempt to undermine another commenter, using methods that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.
Monsanto buys people, businesses, corporations, scientific research, judges, etc. anytime they think these entities threaten their work i.e., their bottom dollar. There is a huge possibility and even convincing evidence, that many of their strains cause problems, both biologically to humans as well as environmentally and to insect populations.
Until conclusive evidence is found to the contrary, these products should be labelled. You and all the other 'pro-gmo' people can ignore it. But people who are concerned have no option of ignoring it or not, because you never know where this crap is. Why should you gain the right to not have to see it at the expense of the millions of others who know and are fighting for the right to be able to see it? If it's grown in Uranium, should they label it? Your 'grown on a Wednesday' repetition is ridiculously inadequate for this argument.
Why would Monsanto do this?

And what about these studies:
Massive Tumors in Rats Fed Monsanto’s Genetically Engineered Corn

They are outlawed in major countries across the planet for a REASON. Quit presuming that everyone else is just an alarmist idiot because they don't agree with your deductions. Your deductions are only halfway researched at best.
