i hate when people say that ingesting gmo foods modifies one's dna.

i just heard some dumb person of morgellonsreport.com speak on an am station. unbearable.

What nonsense. *Everything* is a chemical.

And almost all food we eat is "genetically modified" one way or another, if not direct, then indirect by natural or not-so-natural selection ...

"Chemicals of every kind and in every combination surround us in our homes, in our cars, at work, in our clothes, and in the air we breathe."

*Panics*

THIS IS WORSE THAN THE THREAT POSED BY DI HYDROGEN MONOXIDE!!!

neologisms aren't real! we can still kill this etymological catastrophe before it taints the language!

"I came to realize that many people choose scientific beliefs the same way they choose to be Methodists, or Democrats, or Chicago Cubs fans. They judge science by how well it agrees with the way they want the world to be."

So true (unfortunately).

Took me 20 minutes to find this. Better appreciate it :)
