Irish Farmers Journal reports the IFA and ICMSA and Macra na Feirme Ireland three largest farming bodies make no submissions on GM??

Why is that? I call shenanigans

It is the bioethics ctte who look at the ethics of GMO http://www.bioethics.ie/pdfs/GM%20Report1.pdf
The survey at the end is overwhelming negative. Yet they call for consumer choice!! I don't think trials would get sabotaged if people felt that there was a level playing field between the public and enviromental safety and corporations influence, even with biotethics committees and EPA environmentalists. The Bio-ethics Ctte conclusions are all very sensible but again I don't think the reflects the forces for and against GMO, the bioethics survey for Ireland and the well publicised GM Debate in the UK are overwhelmingly negative. There is this phrase "consumer choice", does the average consumer have choice in the USA to buy GM or not I don't think they do.

Faced with the undeniable and now unavoidable truth of the criminality of the Bush, Blair and Howard governments, what do you suppose are the consequences for these men? People are fined for parking and littering offences but murder and plunder on an international scale incurs no penalty it would seem. [The ICC is a puppet court, an institution with zero credibility.] Is the lack of legal and public response surprising? Advice from leading consultants and ‘people managers’ was/is unanimous; once a decision is acted upon by a government and a nation is committed to a particular course, the people are swept along regardless of compromising evidence released during or after the event. ... read full story / add a comment
