I toyed with other subjects, like "the devil", but evil seemed more appropriate. Since a company is viewed as it's own entity for tax purposes, we can safely (IMO) assign "good" and "evil" to it as we see fit.

Government gets in uproar about Microsoft being a "monopoly" and costs the tax payers millions of dollars in in a useless lawsuit. Government gets lobbied and payed billions by Monsanto and does nothing with their monopoly. Seems like business as usual.

Well, you try to grow your own non-hybrid seeds and end up cross pollenated and then none of your seeds work when you go to collect the second generation for your next years crops. It would be kind of like if you ended up at any website owned by google using firefox a bomb was laid in your browser such that when you went to upgrade it failed and came up with a message "you should have been using chrome." Now you have to uninstall and redownload from scratch if you want to use firefox.

Ending the subsidies to big businesses would solve much of this.
Proper enforcement of anti-trust legislation would solve the rest of it.

The problem though is it is a property of the seeds themselves to ruin any normal seeds that they come in contact with...
IE if your neighbor is using monsanto seeds for their farm, you cease to have a choice because their pollen will ruin your crops if you use anything else.

They can when they are treated as a separate entity.
Like, investing in the destruction of poor people's lives. That is evil.

Not only are they ruining the crops of their neighbors, but the neighbors of their test fields were sued for "stealing" their crops because of the cross pollination.
craziest bullsh*t I've ever heard of.
well, maybe with the exception of the lady that sued a store for tripping over an unruly child and breaking her wrist. She won even, but it was because the jury wasn't allowed to know that she tripped over her OWN unruly child.

Boycott anything with non organic corn or soy. Almost everything has soybean oil. Also any milk or dairy product that uses RBST hormones. Those hormones are a Monsanto product. And of course round-up. (there are knock off brands, but pickling vinegar works well on weeds around you yard) I am not aware of any others at the moment. It's easy if you just buy organic.
I will never support the patenting of life. Next up, let's modify the air we breathe so that we can patent it!!!

I think it has a lot to do with most of our milk being local, and that our local dairy farmers sell in Canuckistan too... so they have to be RBST free.

Here in FL, I'm not sure where the milk comes from unless it's TG Lee, but none of ours has RBSt in it, either.
