I don't think he's doing it to get richer. I just happen to think that one company (Monsanto) has no right to patent all the world's food, and I sure don't believe we can safely play God down in its genetics. So anyone who is a friend of Monsanto is off my Xmas card list. I'm sure Bill and Linda will be mortified to hear that.
