Round-Up Ready Coca Plants
goneutt writes "Wired reports that an herbicide resistant breed of the coca plant has been found in Columbia after years of government spraying. It also appears that the process happend via selective breeding rather than gene manipulation, but it's an outside possibility that it was engineered. What does this mean about drug control policy and the extensive use of one herbicide repeatedly. Does this point the way of the future for other weeds?"
Sorry, you blew your point with this aside.
The American Administration today set out a bold new vision to rid the world of the scurge of the Daisy.
Long a symbol of freedom and innocence, the daisy (hippious Hairpiecious) has newer and much darker overtones.
It was shown computer modelling techniques that these dark daisies would overtake the world and kill off all the white pure daisies.
President Bush was quoted as saying "These black daisies are in league with the terrorists, we must break their chains!"
protestors called the military action worthless and without merit.
Meanwhile, the aging hippies looked on bemused.
