Was ranting about the GMO labeling thing and was using that wording for their letter of protest found at the link, I used their headline for the OP headline.

Apparently the actual part of the Bill is Section 735, the Monsanto Protection Act in the short-term spending bill...

I am pissed that this kind of crap is slipped into must-pass legislation as riders that never see the light of day until the deed is done, and the fact that it is to protect Monsanto, produce pillager of the planet. I'm pretty burned out on the whole ball of gooey wax and am not sure I want to be an american anymore, it doesn't mean anything positive anymore and I have been ashamed of this country for more than the past decade, just can't get into it anymore. And for those who think I have no clue, whatever. I have discovered that the more you know about all this the more horrifying it is... and the more difficult it is to accept and live with.

RIP US of A as many of us once knew you and anticipated equality because of the promises that were made... but then, in hindsight, you never were very good at keeping any promises after all. Stick a fork in it.
