Dale,
Monsanto managed to please it's customers with polychlorinated
biphenyls which resisted degradation in electrical and other high temp
applications. Granted "WE" were unaware of the consequences at the
time. I simply think we should all be slightly more cosmopolitan by now.

I truly doubt if Monsanto wants to destroy agriculture, I think they
would settle for total market share, 2000% ROI, unlimited government
subsidies, and complete control. If they can't get that, Terminator was
likely a good short term alternative.
Later,
