Speaking of corn, watch the butterfly's in the corn fields. Suddenly, they
are dying from the corn pollen (which they feed upon). You would think
this would send out the warning signals faster than the speed of light!

To this end, we need to thank the farmers who are using the genetically
engineered seed that is treated with Round-up. This seed will not grow
without the additional application of Round-up, whereas previously, if the
seed had been planted too soon after an application, it would die right
along with the weeds. Also, the farmers cannot save any of this seed to
plant the next year, as it will not pollinate in the field.
