# GM could 'impoverish poor farmers'. (BBC) A UK development charity
says agrochemical firms should study their products' economic impact
on developing countries before starting to sell them.

I agree.  You certainly won't find a Chevy Cavalier in London. 
Ugandans and Somalians can barely afford a car, let alone all the repairs
that the Cavalier would impose on them just to keep it running.

Obviously, the human body, like everything else in the universe, is a kludge.
The inevitable conclusion is, of course, that God is an engineer.

Did anyone read the full BBC story? This was only the third case of
necrotizing fasciitis from a human bite. The other two were a man who had
bitten his own cheek...and a man who had been bitten on the penis. Now why the
blazes didn't THAT one make headlines? "MAN BITTEN ON ,  FALLS OFF..."

The Conspiracy is obviously hiding things from us again, distracting us,
misdirecting our attention.  Probably, lots of cocks have fallen off,
caused by beer-babe bites, alien interference, HAARP experiments, self-
inflicted injuries and demonic possession - but They don't want us to
know about those.  There's a pattern, an insidious pattern.  Yow.

There's a LDS [Lipid Delivery Systems] conspiracy, to overload all
modern sedentary humans with fat and flesh, so we'll pork out and
be more delectable when the ETs harvest us. MacFood, BurgerThing,
CrapInTheBox, are all operated by Reptilioid dupes, with hidden
economic subsidies.  Consider that, despite the rising costs of
all other foodstuffs, Whoppers and Stars and BigMacs have stayed
at constant prices for the last decade - per calorie of prepared
'food', they're the cheapest items around, and are getting cheaper
[in constant dollars] with each passing year.  This is no fluke,
no coincidence - the LDS cartel offer economic incentives for us
to partake of their products.  And the Reptoids just rub their
claws together and drool...
