[Biofuel] Monsanto versus Farmers

Yes Monsanto and others have used absolutely dispicable tactics

who found some of their gm plants on their land. I also understand
that they just purchased the largest seed coumpany in the world.
Name escapes me right now but that particular seed co. supplies most
of the worlds
vegetable and fruit seeds. I fear what these megacorps have planned
with teminator seeds for tomatoes, lettuce and virtually all our
fruits and vegtables once manipulated to not produce viable seeds or
germinate the next year. They are programmed to die after one season
so farmers have to buy a new batch of seeds each year from ...guess
who?

Monsanto is a prime player in predatory, monopolistic practices,
trying
to pass laws to "lock the little guy out". Check out
http://www.grain.org/seedling/?id=343. If Monsanto has its way, we
will
have to pay royalties to do anything with seeds, including growing
plants to produce biofuels.

I wonder if a number of like-minded, right-minded people who would
massively buy shares of a monopoly company such as Monsanto could do?
Would they be able to steer the company towards less abusive business
practices through changes to its internal structure via proxy proposals?
