I support Montville’s ban on Frankenstien seeds and other genetic modification of our plants and animals.

Big business wants bigger populations to sell more junk to. We seem to have forgotten that our planet is finite in size and every time we add another person to the face of the planet we take a little bit away from the people that are already here. Expanding populations may look good to the greedy business community but very bad for our health and quality of life. More people are causing disruption to our environment and problems with food and land all over the world.

Our leaders, both political and especially religious, are closing their eyes to the reality of the end game that we cannot sustain this population growth any longer. The ice caps are melting we are changing the way our planet works to keep all of us alive and the greedy short term “experts” we trust are only looking a few years ahead for their own self interest.

Montville has the right idea to wake up the rest of us that genetically engineering our food to support more people is not the way to go. We have reached a point in our population growth where if we are going to continue to allow unregulated growth in populations we are going to have to go down a dangerous road of altering nature to support our limitless growth in numbersreport abuse
