All this talk about pollen drift, contamination, and such makes me think
that maybe it's somewhat deliberate so that when folks get up in arms
about pollen drift from genetically altered plants, the gov't and Monsanto
and the like can "save the day" by pushing through the terminator
technology so that most folks will be stuck buying all of their seed from
them since they've patented all this altered DNA.

Why they can get the right to patent certain combinations of DNA is
amazing to me. Maybe they think that since there's no proof that God (or
whatever deity you feel created us, if any) went to some sort of cosmic
patent office when he created us, the plants,animals, and such so now they
can go and patent parts of us, the plants, animals, and such?

Well, guess I've been watching X-files or something and have gotten
carried away by conspiracy theories.
