6. Simply put, if Monsanto pollutes your crop(s) with their "plastic seed pollen" (my term), then

your next crop of homegrown seeds belongs to them and you are a thief. They then sue you and force you to pay them much money. Most courts, many who have been previously purchased by "Monsatan," rule for the corporate plaintiffs. BTW, you do NOT have to know that Monsanto GMO seeds are being used in your neighborhood. In the law, this situation is known as "...knew or should have known." A very handy little thing sometimes. Here, a complete perversion of the intent of the law and of Nature's intent for her offerings. This will end badly.
Oh, yes. You are correct in that every single year that one grows a crop with Monsanto seeds, said seeds must be paid for again. And again. And again.... They really are "Monsatan."

I have a question for you and anyone who wants to discuss this: Why does the GOP want to starve poor people? I want to know what they gain from doing this? They hardly pay any taxes, so, why do they care if the rest of us buy food for those who need it? I am fed up with all the nonsense that gets spouted on the news, etc., so we won't just attack this basic issue. I have a name for it: Soft Genocide. Are we ruining their view? Polluting their air? What?
