    It is really deceive - without the scare quotes no less.

    Then you think wrongly. One can always not purchase at Walmart. You, however, are attempting to rationalize illegal activity.

    "But in this case they tried in good faith to deliver what they could" You do not know this, you're presuming. Let a court decide.

    Please. I'm here to tell you first hand you're scenario isn't true. Might have been (will be) for you, but it isn't the only path, nor the only one to give you that "more balanced lifestyle". Whatever that is.

    So the infirm, very young or elderly can just stay home all winter? Not everyone needing to travel somewhere is going to a job and in the needed physical condition. Mothers with children, they stay home too, right? Turn off the personal needs myopia.

    I have arthritis in both knees, my friend has a deformed hand, an acquaintance is eighty and a young man I know has asthma. Glad to see you think in broad, general terms instead of myopically focusing on solutions that work for yourself.

    Thank you for biting and thank you for not reading the sentence prior to that from that same article.

    RESULTS: Exposure of bumblebees dermally or via treated pollen to either of the two Bt formulations at their field recommended rates (0.1%) caused no reduction in survival.

    In other words, no issue outside of experiments.

    ...giving their transgenic corn its own natural pesticide. However, corn is also a prolific producer of pollen ... that can be very, very fatal to honeybees in low concentrations

    I guess you're unaware that corn and all cereals are wind pollinated, not insect pollinated. Had you read that link of yours you would have noted that the bees were fed with *sugar water* laced with the Bt. The odds of a bee acquiring any Bt from cereals is virtually nil.

    "Most do not, and most farmers have failed or are underwater financially specifically because the only buy pioneer/du pont/etc."

    I live in farming country and believe this is simply untrue. Provide a cite please.

    You clearly have no idea what a restocking fee is.

  17. Re:Don't mess with the geek's toys on Groupon Backs Down On Gnome · · Score: 1

    First, I don't believe for a moment you didn't know what the Gnome suite was. Second, you're simply speculating on what others who actually don't *would* think and - you can't read minds. Third, if I'm looking for a POS, I'll find a POS reference and not be interested in a suite and in fact, their web page lists not one single POS application amongst what's available. So, no, bullshit.
