Then Dr John Hagelin's Natural Law Party is full of blooming idiots who have 
no conception of the tools of animal and plant improvement.  All, yes every 
single one, of the products we consume today have been genetically modified, 
using selection processes, either natural or accelerated.  By calling for a 
total moratorium, the Naturally Foolish Party is calling for a moratorium on 
all food products.  I suppose all that would be left to eat are some prebiotic 
chemicals.

That's right.  It has been lost.  Unless you go hunting for it yourself.  The 
sooner we can abandon modern (or even primitive) agriculture and it's mad 
tendency to keep back the better varieties and animals for breeding stock, and 
return to a hunter-gatherer society, the better we (or at least those who 
survive) will be.  Give me a break.

This sentence should read:  Please read a bunch of propaganda designed to 
further a political goal by using half-truths, scare tactics, and outright 
lies.
