I'm sure you have a good imagination, but wouldn't you rather see evidence.
I did a search on glyphosate persistence and toxicity a while back and got
109 relevant papers. I'll send the search results to you. Reading the
abstracts confirmed what I have heard about the safety of Roundup. Compared
to horrible weeds like johnsongrass, Roundup looks awfully safe,
environmentally speaking. I wouldn't hesitate for a second, not for a
microsecond, going out and killing patches of johnsongrass with Roundup.
