More from the Guardian Weekly, this time on the down side of GM crops in Argentina:

Superweed warning as GM soya 'miracle' in Argentina turns sour

On the plus side, soy production boomed, large-scale farmers made a ton of badly-needed cash, and the plants countered soil erosion. On the minus side, twice the dose of herbicide is now needed, profitable soy has replaced subsistence crops, small farmers have been pushed off the land or seen their crops destroyed, soil bacteria are dying off, there's a risk of superweeds, and herbicide-resistant soy is itself a weed.

I am a pacifist by nature, but I believe that, in this life, it's given to us to punch just one person in the head. We must choose carefully, picking the most deserving individual possible. I have chosen the woman who sings "God hates fags" to tune of the Carpenter's innocent ditty "Sing" during Michael Moore's "Sodomobile" film, in a voice that sounds like broken glass being dragged down a blackboard, not only because I have never seen anyone degrade themselves so thoroughly but also because it is *irretrievably stuck in my fucking head*.
