I have written about the Monsanto corporation on numerous occasions, including A Brief History of Monsanto, and Monsanto v. The State of Illusion.

Quote of the Day: 5/30/13 – Daniel Dennett
“Evolution … is the central, enabling process not only of life but also of knowledge and learning and understanding.
