Wow!  Yay Colombia!  I've posted the article on my facebook page to share
the news around.  Do we, in the US, have the courage to implement this kind
of pushback to the overlording pressure of Monsanto and other megacorps?
 Perhaps it will take an act like that which happened in northern Colombia
where the government stole and destroyed all the seeds saved by local
farmers and implemented a law stating the government controlled all seeds,
that no seed could be saved for any purpose, forcing farmers to buy
patented seeds.
