    'I' do not have a 'feeling' or an 'opinion' on GMO because I have not seen 'any' uncorruptible scientific presentations or documentation capable of being recreated by third party or by myself on the matter based upon coherently perceived understanding and observation of corruption in both science and media for obvious reasons of profits. China and Africa have both refused delivery of GMO products, and I'd have to say they probably won't be the only ones in the future. Would you jump off a bridge for a dollar?

    Science, or the understanding of it is not relevant, it is the people that present it that can be subject to manipulating results due to political or monetary interests.

    People do not trust the studies anymore, being aware the media is used, publicized studies smell of political and profit based motivation behind them. Yes, people behind GMO are naive, with consideration to man kinds unique and almost focused ability to screw things up, usually due to cut corners and are profit motivated, playing in the arena of the basis of life is quite naive...

    To be honest, scientific analysis about things such as global warming has been shown to be strong armed/manipulated. It doesn't really matter what the people are told about it, deep down they know that messing with mother nature in that capacity just doesn't sit well with them. When it is observed that organic food is under attack by way of competition from it, along with GMO becoming more impossible to avoid, that settles it for them.

    Too bad you were never consulted about having a military protecting you or a street to drive on. Asshole, rest assured that I would be the first person busting down your door with a .45 caliber if there were nothing to stop me. Stockpile more shit please.

    Most people have concluded that the military has been crafted as a tool to protect politicians, corporations, and from their own complicit, fowl foreign policy and this has effectively stood since Vietnam. So yes, it is in the interest of the people in protecting themselves. I see the roads, I also see roads that kick the crap out of my car, I see NSA military force turned upon the people of the US while not under any announced martial law. I see snot nosed inheritors of power in the ranks of the elite lacking insight to damages rendered by erasing the lines between military force and the people, I see oil company's getting their way and contaminating water tables and water aquifers in land used to grow food and where people once lived. I see DHS (a domestic agency) purchasing over 2 billion rounds of .223 and armored personnel carriers. So if you'd like to step up as a responsible party for all that this situation will bring the people, don't let "nothing" stop you, come and peddle us your "safety". It is interesting the see the government start a small arms race with it's own people, I'm waiting for them to piss off the scientists. Government selling "safety" is nothing more than snake oil, or better know as fraud.

    The NSA isn't spying on them to get that information. My point still stands, the NSA shouldn't be spying on anyone without a valid warrant signed by a judge, just as the constitution clearly states. That they are elected doesn't make them better than you or I, and their outrage should be the same regardless of who is being spied upon without a warrant.

    the NSA shouldn't be spying on anyone domestically without a valid warrant signed by a judge, just as the constitution clearly states.

    Being that the BSAFE library is closed source, exactly how can you say that they just "weakened" it? Why does it take so long for the crypto suite to perform a simple operation on today's multicore processors? To weaken it does not make sense to their directive, to break it by design by governing the process to accommodate a master key every time the suite is used does fit the bill, it also fits the bill for on the fly encrypted apps that transmit data they can capture. Me thinks that compooter security became "unobtainium" just as soon as the National [In]security Agency got their claws in it.
