And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

It's that kind of woolly-headed thinking that gives us The Handmaid's Tale. Sigh.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

and if you REFUSE to have children THEY WILL NEVER GET BORN

Well hey, I say that's better than insisting on being born. Now THAT would be scary!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Darn. None of those are close enough for my parents to dog-sit for you (they regularly have dogs-of-friends at their house. There's constant access to a big yard.)

California people, are you thinking yes or no on prop 37 (the GMO food labeling)?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Aww, that's a nice thought, Debet, thank you. I'll figure it out. It'll probably be fine leaving them with my folks. I guess I'll just see how the kids do over Thanksgiving and I can play the tour by ear.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think I just stepped over the line on Facebook. No way to pull back.

Go git 'em, Tiger!

I am pro labeling, Lee. If only because Monsanto is financing the No on 37 campaign.

Right now labeling will mostly affect boxed food and packaged foods, because usually things like corn used to make HFCS, soy and corn oil, etc, will be GMO varieties. So right now I assume if I buy something in a box and it isn't explicitly label non-GMO then it has GMOs in it. But produce? How do I tell a GMO tomato from a non-GMO tomato? I mean I get that I've been buying GMO produce unaware, but I'd like to make that choice for myself. And they are pushing the FDA to start selling GMO salmon, and if that gets the OK I am sure they already have GMO beef and GMO chicken lined up.

I would normally be in favor of the labeling too, but I have issues with the proposition as written. It just seems sloppy.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

California people, are you thinking yes or no on prop 37 (the GMO food labeling)?

Yes, though it is a flawed bill and has gaping loopholes.

And they are pushing the FDA to start selling GMO salmon, and if that gets the OK I am sure they already have GMO beef and GMO chicken lined up.

Dairy and meat are the two big exceptions. Given how much grain goes to feed animals? Problem.

But I think it's better to have labeling. GMO foods have been around for a long time and we're eating them every day. I also think that they aren't intrinsically bad or unhealthy. The bill will not going to magically make them go away but I always side on an informed populace.
