Your post really bothers me.
1. I don't think they (we) are monsters, just all too human
2. Your tone is sort of like "kick em good when they're down"
3. You are not adding anything to the debate, just engaging in personal
attack.
The people I know in Monsanto, and in the industry in general are operating
with good intentions. Sure, they want to make money, but they believe (and
so do I) that the current GMO products are good, healthful, useful to
farmers of all sizes, and mostly harmless to the environment. Their big
fault is being politically naive.
