Hello All

Some think that the world is a better place because of
the miracle of modern pesticides which allow for phenomenal increases in
agricultural productivity. 
Others start with the assumption that this has
only put us on a path of ever increasing dependence on crops that are
dependent on chemical, and now genetic, engineering for their survival while
introducing all manner of harmful chemicals into the environment.  Both
points of view have been co-opted by the profit motive to some extent so
forget about claiming higher ground on that basis.
 
I fail to see how not putting harmful chemicals into the environment can be profit based.
