@9 - As if keeping records of everything about everyone is going to foster free speech when not very long ago, someone could have been discredited for being homosexual.

Very well said Anna. Harassment like rape is first about power.

Any attempt to create a new world—a grandiose way of saying, do away with normative hierarchicies—must be snuffed out. That's the logic of the state, anyway.

Nope. That's the logic of those who control the state to do their business. There is noting inherent to the concept of the state that makes it oppressive.

Brooks is so mediocre and so consistently wrong, one could wonder why he is given such a large megaphone.

@19 - It certainly is worthwhile to point out the wide discrepancy between free market claims, and the common practice of corporate welfare. Low prices for cheap crap and the Waltons are effectively subsidized by our taxes when their employees need public assistance to meet basic needs. It's not a stereotype, it's reality.

Who is worse of the prickish large ego celeb and the celeb gossip reporter? Tough question, Paul ...

@29 - We have already said that it was legal but there is little doubt the chemical industry knew of the toxicity of these products way before (usually decades) they were banned or seriously regulated. Don't take my word for it, these are textbook cases that have been extensively studied: http://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/en…

You must not have read anything relevant about Agent Orange because it is well publicized: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_Orang…

I'd expect you to do a little research on the topic before asking me to repeat myself ad-infinitum.

@27 - Conspiracy theories like Monsanto having manufactured and sold DDT, PCBs, and Agent Orange? or is it the conspiracy theories of the scientists who point out that the industrial GM agriculture model isn't sustainable? or is it the conspiracies theories of those pointing out that the patented organism model places control of the food supply in a few private hands. Trying to demonize opponents of industrial agriculture by negating the actions of these corporations is laughable. You should be ashamed of yourself.

In the meantime, on one hand there are your unsubstantiated assertions that basically parrot the biotech sector PR, and on the other, the links to several reports by experts in my posts above that directly contradict what you say.

Very nice report. Thank you.

@21 - The industry would first have to show that current GM technology increases yields, which isn't supported by evidence according to UCSUSA. Failure to yield:
