The problem is that companies can't patent naturally occurring genes. What they can patent is a gene fragment that has been isolated in a lab that has a known function, such as serving as a diagnostic aid..
Your premises is based on an urban legend that has no basis in fact.
Changing the Senate to a proportional system will never happen. It was the key point in the most important part of the compromises the states made in order to get the Constitution accepted. The smaller states will never go along with ratifying the amendment needed to make it happen.
Varicella mortality rates in neonatals run as high as 30%. Prior to the introduction of the vaccine 150 fatalities and 11,000 hospitalizations were occurring annually.
You are just wrong and your comment has been moderated up by people who have no knowledge of reality. High liquidity and maintaining equal prices across markets through arbitrage are valuable positive features of any trading environment that are enhanced by HFT. They assure you that you will be able to quickly get a fair price for your assets when you want or need to sell. Without these features your investments are far more risky and thus are worth less.
You really need to read up on basic principles of investing. In particular the concept of why liquidity is more important than either safety of capital or return.
I did some pretty thorough Google searching and as far as I can determine this article is an outright lie. There are about 60 actual farms involved in the lawsuit, and there has NEVER been a verifiable case where Monsanto has sued a farmer who had accidentally contaminated crops.
Talk about FUD. Echelon is a code name for a system built to intercept satellite communications in the cold war era.
From the article you linked to:
"The role of satellites in point-to-point voice and data communications has largely been supplanted by fiber optics. As of 2006, 99% of the world's long-distance voice and data traffic was carried over optical-fiber. The proportion of international communications accounted for by satellite links is said to have decreased substantially over the past few years in Central Europe to an amount between 0.4 and 5%. Even in less-developed parts of the world, communications satellites are used largely for point-to-multipoint applications, such as video. Thus the majority of communications cannot be intercepted by earth stations, but only by tapping cables and intercepting line-of-sight microwave signals, which is possible only to a limited extent."

Your terminology is pretty crazy.
Wild transgenic Canola is not persistent in the environment, and it is glyphosate resistant, not herbicide resistant.

I am a one percenter and what you have written is utter hogwash.
Depends on the slope of the supply-demand curve.
Econ 101.
Your objections only apply to comments that have been moderated or replied to.
There should be an edit button for comments have not been responded to.
The progress of the kids is far more dependent on the interest of the parents in the process than the teachers.
Basically the grandparent is on the right track, but the measure is not how bright the kids are but rather how much the parents care about their kids.
The reason is that any safe can be physically forced. This makes access inevitable. The combination only prevents property damage.
That is not the case with electronic encryption.
It needs to apply to government as well as the private sector.
The growth of the US economy vs Europe over the past few decades is 100% attributable to population growth due to immigration.

The Laffer curve is a relationship between government revenues and tax rate.
Not growth.
Most economists believe the maximum of the curve is somewhere around 50% taxation. We are running at 15%, the lowest since Harry Truman was president.
A moon base Newt has nothing to do with science. It was a pork proposal to get him votes in the Florida primary.
I am sure there are far better ways to spend this money in real science programs.

It's why it was called the "Great Compromise".
Thanks for providing a nutter tag word i.e. "naturopathic".
The professors should supply hyperlinks to the textbooks.
Chlorination of drinking water has been often cited as doing more than all other health programs combined to extend the human life span.
I'd expect vaccination is 2nd though.
Did you realize the neonatal mortality rate from chickenpox is 30%? That before the advent of the vaccine 150 people died from it each year?
The statistics you are quoting are only relevant in a population that has been vaccinated. They don't apply if people stop taking the vaccine.
Do you realize that about 5000 people die each year from cancers and other diseases induced by Hep B?
Varicella mortality rates in neonatals run as high as 30%. Prior to the introduction of the vaccine 150 fatalities and 11,000 hospitalizations were occurring annually.
As a parent who has had multiple children in pre-school programs my view on this is simple.
Doctors and other parents have rights too. You don't get to ignore other people in your own selfishness.
Why is it detestable? Targeted marketing is economically efficient and helps people identify sources of products they want/need.

Don't be an idiot about this.
Every significant industrialized nation engages in government aided industrial espionage.
Heck the French were bugging the first class section of the Concorde and planting agents among the flight staff to collect this sort of stuff.
