It also limits supply and drives up the prices for everyone else.
well, explain Boston? when they did away with rent control it had zero effect. in fact prices went UP! on paper it sounds like it might be right, but im not so sure, as are many other people. of course i do not have a degree in economics or urban planning.
Just don’t want it thrown in your face that you are not fulfilling your place in society by breeding like you should be doing so I can have someone pay for my social security?

Social Security? What’s that? OOOHH you mean that crap they take out of my paycheck every two weeks that I’ll never see again?
Rob- have you read Pimp, by Iceberg Slim? It`s really great and authentic. Remember, one man`s (or 14 year old girl`s) trash is another man`s treasure.
It’s the explosion in the last 10 years I was talking about. I grew up in corn country. I’m not against GE, I’m against the fact that people now are paid to plant seeds(and put signs in a field) to get market share up. For stock prices.
This is the kind of thing that makes me very happy to pay extra for organic.
Anyway, what was the point of the post? I did indeed miss it.

Ringo, I just threw it out there to get people riled up. it did. Though your points are understandable, you missed the point of what i posted.
And, corn has been genetically modified for the past 40 years. How do you think we’ve gotten from yields of 50 bushels per acre to 150?
Ever see the Pioneer Hybrid and SeKalb signs all over the crop fields?? They have been breeding corn (genetically) for decades. Were it not for genetic advances in corn, wheat & soybeans, we wouldn’t be producing a third of what we are now.

if live long enough and people have enough children you’ll see great return on your money. But if not allowed to take them to bars, who wants them.

Always happy to oblige, DIBS.

Basically, any domestic crop since the dawn of agriculture has been genetically modified whether through hybridizing or in a lab.
