> a survey about genetically modified foods...

Isn't it sort of useless to survey only the people
who have more food than they can eat, and more
choices than they can handle?

Survey some of the REST of the 6 billion people
on this planet - the ones that are barely scratching
by, the ones that know someone who has died of
malnutrition.

There are many people who think GM food should be
labeled as such, and I agree.  But the "protest"
against GM food (lectures, role-playing exercises,
personal storytelling, theater of the oppressed,
newsblogging, warblogging, linkblogging, puppetmaking,
outreach, filterbusting...) is all from people who
are far too well-fed to understand just how critical
the actual situation is.

People are starving right now.
Think about it.

The best evaluation of the whole morass was
written long before any of us were born:

        "Whoever could make two ears of corn
        or two blades of grass to grow upon a
        spot of ground where only one grew
        before would deserve better of mankind
        and do more essential service to his
        country than the whole race of
        politicians put together."  (Jonathan Swift)
