Big tobacco is finally doomed.
Let's hope the process can be accellerated for those investing big in recombinants. (Big bio-tech, big hurry, big disregard for bigger evolutionary processes and above all, a big appetite for big bucks). Control freaks, foisting freaks on the unthinking, while freaking out the thinking so much they'll be afraid to think. (Gee, that just about sums it up, doesn't it).
