| Message | If you recognize the danger of growing GMO crops, then why is it acceptable for them to be grown in another nation which will be inflicting those dangers upon themselves? Research on this topic is currently allowed, and we believe more of this is needed to better understand the nature of this beast, before we conspire to release it upon our world. If there are really any downsides to GMO's, then just because they're grown across the border won't matter, and our nation will be effected just as much as the rest of the world. |
