Dow and Monsanto is not only a threat to other countries, but they are a threat to the UNITED STATES too. OUR OWN COUNTRY. They damaged the very people that they are living with. They are not humans, they are demons.

Why is the US government STILL trusting Monsanto after all the damage it has caused to people? I can't tell who is the really enemy anymore. I can't tell the difference between dictators and US governments anymore.

And Monsanto is the company we trust to genetically morph the world's seed supply. Have we become a total idiocracy?!

Take a peek at any creek or river near a current or former powder mill and you will find they are dead or near dead. Even the 18th century mills that have long since decayed left a permanent stretch of uninhabitable waters (Ridley and Crum creeks in PA).
My guess would be that Uncle DupEE operated the Nitro powder mill back in WWI. Something to do w/powder grain size and combustion and smoke for the big battleship shells and mortars. It's probobly a good thing they only worked on powder and not mustard gas etc. at this site. Or did they?

In the fall of 1953, as a six year old boy, I moved with my family to West Virginia. My father was a chemical engineer working for the plastics research division of Ohio Apex, later acquired by FMC. Even though my memories of our five years in West Virginia are mostly of its scenic beauty, and its warm and independent people, I can still remember that one of the first phrases my younger brother learned to say was: "Monsanto stinks." It wasn't anything political, just the observation of a little boy.
