beggars can't be choosers ::
An amazing story of the U.S. exploiting famine in African nations to force acceptance of genetically modified crops. Zimbabwe has refused two shipments of GM corn for fear that pollen from surreptitiously sown kernals will contaminate native crops, rendering them unsellable and removing the ownership of their seed from the farmers. Thank Rael Dornfest for the link.
on a somewhat related topic (the us creating a crisis so that it can force its solution down everyone's throat)... not much is being said about the last arms inspections in Iraq being cancelled because the Iraqi allegations of the US using them for reconnaisance and spying turned out to be true...um, I don't have a link to that, but if you check on Cursor.org and a few other places,you'll find links.
