40. Science is true wether you believe it or not.

First, Monsanto is an American corporation that behaves exactly the way American laws demand it behave. If you have a problem with Monsanto, you have a problem with the system (which I do, btw). However, Monsanto does not equal GMO's. They use GMO's to make money, but that does not make everything GMO somehow evil.

I'm not going to point out all the 14 yr/olds logical fallacies. No will I acknowledge that everything Kevin O'Leary said is a lie. I simply accept that while the right wing has the TeaBaggers and their Birth Certificate/Benghazi/Fast and Furious/Muslim/Kenyan bullshit, our side has the anti-GMO, anti-vaccine contingent. Both groups are deeply misinformed and anti-science and no amount of evidence or proof will change their minds.
