Nobody hates Monsanto more than me.
When I was about 10-12 I was staying at my grand-parents farm. A neighbor called, late at night for a rural farm, and told my grand-mother the fish were jumping out of the creek. The next day we went to the bank and it was lined 10-15 feet with dead fish. They had jumped 10-15 out of the creek when Monsanto dumped PCBs. Corporate Giant Monsanto Hid Decades Of Pollution My ggrandfather owned over 700 acres where Choccolocco Creek empties into the Coosa river, where the fish kill was. Imagine standing on the creek with the entire community, in horrid silence, looking at thousands and thousands of dead fish for as for as you can see, realizing you've been poisoned and there's nothing you can do about it; the land, the water, the crops, everything poisoned, and there's nothing you can do about it.

It was in March of 1966. There were other fish kills, but that was the main one, March of 1966.

Ewwwwww.
I'm gonna call BS on this because the plant would need resin glands. I don't know how resin glands would look on the aforementioned cucumber or tomatoe plants but I don't see it being as simple as their trying to make it sound. But scientists have done some pretty weird shit... ![]() damn PalmSpringsBum that is unfortunate, I'd be upset too. |
