There will be tons of lawsuits and unintended consequences, so I gotta vote no on this one. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1579668 So your going to vote for something that is 100% against what you believe in, instead of voting for something that's 90% for what you believe in? That's fucked up and explains why this Country is such a mess! Where is your logic here? |

That's fucked up and explains why this Country is such a mess! Where is your logic here? I agree that there are loopholes and there will be some problems. This is true of almost any law passed nowadays; I think they write them that way purposely, to have a way to sway the public, among other reasons. However, IT IS A START! It means other states will also write propositions, learning from the mistakes written in to this one, and writing them more efficiently, closing loopholes one by one. It will set a PRECEDENT. Many other states are holding their breaths, watching California, hoping they will go the way of so many European countries that require labeling. Whereas, if this does NOT pass because of its errors (which can and will be worked out), we are handing Genetically Modified Seed, Food, and Animal producers a win, with no fight. They will run with it. Did you know they are working on a vaccine which can be genetically modified into your vegetables? You will never know if the tomato you buy has that vaccine in it or not. Please, just because it isn't perfect, don't throw the baby out with the wash. Keep working on it after it has passed. Lawsuits? I don't really want to go there, but it is a reality. But to not vote for it for fear of lawsuits and loopholes may be throwing away an opportunity we will never have again. Look at how many things we don't get to vote for---like Portland recently passing fluoridation in spite of peoples' protests. Here, at least we have been given a chance. Please, think about it again. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27094229 United States 11/05/2012 08:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As for tons of unexpected consequences and lawsuits: 1. This is true of any law passed; there are always unscrupulous people wanting to take advantage. Is that a reason to give up, when your very health and future lives are at stake? 2. This is why Monsanto, Land of Lakes, Pepsi, Bayer and so many other spent millions of dollars, to CONVINCE you of this. To point out every potential pitfall. To seed into your mind that the proposition is more harmful than helpful. It is a manipulation of FEAR. Fear of what "might" happen. We don't know what might happen. Expect the best; it's the only way to get it. If this proposition is voted down, it will make it harder for any other state to introduce such a proposition. If it is voted for, some people will take a look at GMOs, wondering what the big deal is...people who never gave it a second thought before. Other states will follow! It’s both an opening door, and an educational opportunity. To vote no, is to loose that. Please think of those consequences, too. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22573986 United States 11/05/2012 09:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Myself and 5 family members going to vote it up tomorrow Op, talked to at least 20 people in the last 2 weeks about it. A couple who were apprehensive because of all the tv ads. They thought it would cost the farmers too much. I told them that I'd read that the organic farmers are SO excited about it, and it would help their farms like crazy. It's the farmers who've gone GMO who will suffer. And I told them that it won't be too costly for them, they just need to drop the word "natural" (which they lie about now) and add the word "GMO". No problem 4 letters less right! Greedy assholes reap what they sow. Literally. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27094229 United States 11/05/2012 10:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you think genetically modified fish, meat, and vegetables are scary, how about having plants and animals genetically engineered with vaccines for you. Although these articles indicate this is being developed for "3rd world countries", do you think they will stop there? [link to www.abc.net.au] Maryke Steffens: I'm not the first person to offer up an arm when it comes to getting a needle at the doctor's. So given the choice of eating a vaccine, I'd choose that of course. And wouldn't we all if we had that option? Which may not be too far from reality. At the AAAS Conference in Denver a couple of weeks ago, Dr Charles Arntzen from Arizona State University, told us that scientists are well on the way to creating transgenic plants which will produce vaccines, and when you eat them in large quantities, they'll work in exactly the same way as a jab, only with a lot less pain. OR: “Goats are being genetically engineered to become "pharm animals" that carry vaccines in their milk… Current experiments being conducted by researchers from Texas A&M are geared toward producing a malaria vaccine for third world countries, with the ultimate goal being that eventually children will be able to become vaccinated simply by drinking the milk… Genetically engineered vaccine-producing animals might enter the food supply unexpectedly, contaminating the food supply; there are also known health risks to consuming GM foods, including DNA damage, fertility problems and more…” [link to articles.mercola.com] Without labeling, will you know if vaccine is in your tomato juice or goat's cheese? |
