But beyond that, all I can say is WTF? Are you for real?
Endlessly declaring victory and evading the point does not impress.
Let's once more return to that point that you're evading so skillfully. Can you name a single area anywhere where farmers are forced to buy seeds from Monsanto?
No? You can't? Then your conspiracy theory is has major flaws.
Why is Monsanto big? It sells a product that farmers want to buy. You don't see the farmers screaming about the evil Monsanto, except for the ones who tried to use Monsanto seed illegally and got caught. You see farmers, who have a choice of products to buy, willingly buying Monsanto's product, because it makes them more money.
Does Monsanto sue people? Yes. If you use their seed illegally, you get sued. That covers people who signed a contract and saved seed, or people who never signed a contract and tried to secretly use Monsanto seed. Given that Monsanto has won all such suits they've filed, it's clear they're not filing such suits frivelously, and that they're on solid legal ground. Again, if you don't want Monsanto to sue you, all you have to do is not use their seed illegally. And if you don't want to buy from Monsanto, you just have to buy from someone else.
Now, if someone would like to intelligently talk about whether anti-trust laws should be invoked, that's a good topic. But as anti-trust laws as a whole in the USA have been gutted and are almost never invoked in any industry, the topic is really whether anti-trust laws as a whole should be strengthened.
And there's also an issue of whether selling a product that's too good needs to be regulated. That is, farmers get bigger crop yields with Monsanto seeds. That increases yields on the whole and drives prices down. If a farmer doesn't also use the Monsanto seeds to get bigger yields, that farmer goes out of business. So should Monsanto be penalized for making a product that's just too damn good?
So should Monsanto be penalized for making a product that's just too damn good?
Nothing Monsanto puts out is good.
But thanks again for proving what a clueless dumbass you really are if you believe they do.
