You know, before today, I'd never seen a reasonable article on

CommonDreams.org.

....And I'll probably never see another after yesterday.

By the way, you're supposed to add " POLITICS " to the subject line when

sending stuff like this.

I had never read anything from them before. So I have no idea about what they

publish. I found the article after doing a google search.

There is an article in New York Time today about completely decoding the corn

genome by 2007. Then we will never have to worry about what type of corn to grow

again. ….Well, what they are saying is that they will then be able to make it

disease and draught resistant, as well as give a high yield. The second to the

last paragraph explains how the two Big seed producers will not have to spend

any thing for this project, but will still get to make money from it.

Sorry. I was in a big rush, and never gave it a thought. If it helps…I was late

for my meeting because I stopped to post the article.:-)

Read an article years ago about the Hopi are still growing their original

corn seed in near desert conditions. The roots go deep to get water on their

own. Maybe those old seeds know something science hasn't thought of.
