They ARE responsible for enough though and I do my best not to support such 
chemical companies, no matter how large or supposedly small the threat to 
public heath is.  I didn't support Bush either.

Correct.  Untrue.

Here are a few examples from company websites"

Willhite: "On September 1, 1994, Willhite Seed Company legally became 
WillhiteSeed Inc. Even though we are incorporated, we are still a family 
ownedbusiness."

Nichols:"Nichols Garden Nursery is a family business. Two generations are now 
involved. "

Territorial:"Territorial Seed Company is a privately held company wholly 
owned by Tom and Julie Johns"

Here is a website that tells what the parnt company is for the various 
seedsmen.  You will notice that Monasanto isn't among them:

As you can see, for example, as Lynn pointed out, Jung's owns  Jung's, 
Seymour's, Totally Tomatoes, Vermont Beanseed Co, Edumund's Roses, Shumway, 
and 
others.  But Monstanto is not in the picture.

Much like the Bush Bashing we were treated to for most of the past decade, 
Monsanto is bad enough, but they are not omnipotent and ubiquitous nor are 
they 
responsibe for every ill in the world.
