No better logic for selecting and saving heirloom seeds exists than  
the need to thwart monster seed companies like Monsanto. For those not  
aware of how insidiously Monsanto is taking over agriculture, this  
article is a good place to begin. Here's a quote from the article:

"Most Americans know Monsanto because of what it sells to put on our  
lawns— the ubiquitous weed killer Roundup. What they may not know is  
that the company now profoundly influences—and one day may virtually  
control—what we put on our tables."
