Hey, I enjoyed the irony of you linking to the RT. You are actually proving to be one of the more knowledgeable folks here on environmental matters. We have plenty to disagree about, though.

Regards,

There is no rule here against linking to any site to support one's point. Some links will be justifiably ridiculed, some will be subject to partisan skepticism, and some will be generally respected by most, but not all. When I am seeking a source to support a point I am making, I look for the most neutral source available, or better yet, a source that is generally seen as contrary to my political bent.

As I stands right now, I consider ESPN.com a more reliable source, since they have the Sooners higher in their RPI than other ones. I'm hoping for a 3 or 4 seed if we can win out.

Regards,

D-Ray

OK. I heard the story on a far-right shortwave broadcast emitting from a militia operated pirate station deep in the Texas hill country.
I feel better now.

Don't expect me to give two "BAMs" in one thread.

Monsanto does not give a tinker's dam how many people they kill as long as the profits roll in. When they were managing the AEC project in the Mound at Miamisburg Ohio the workers there brought a class action suit against them for their careless handling of radioactive materials. Florence was seriously exposed three times and later in life had a 15 pound tumor removed in a radical hysterectomy. Otherwise she would have only had two months to live. There may be lower life forms than the people who run Monsanto but in 83 years I have never seen one.

A couple of things about Monsanto GM products I imagine most people do not know.

1 - Monsanto's GM products have never been tested by the FDA.

2 = The FDA is a revolving door of ex Monsanto executives and is currently led by one.

3 - Monsanto is protected by US law from lawsuits relating to GM foods.

I didn't know that.
Talk about some heavy duty lobbying.
