Engaging in "tit for tat" with you Joan goes against my fundamental rule of "not feeding the trolls", but here I go- The Alliance for Science pays you to promote the genetic engineering of food crops including those crops engineered to withstand high levels of pesticide use.  This is the business model for Syngenta, Monsanto and other chemical companies that operate in Hawaii.  They genetically engineer food crops like corn and soy to withstand the pesticides they sell.  The companies create and sell the seeds, then they create and sell the pesticides - a sweet business model if you don't consider the harm to health and environment.  The job for which you are paid is to defend your industry and to attack people like me who attempt to increase regulation of that industry.  I understand that and think other's should also.  Your history of vicious, public and personal attacks against any and all critics of your industry is legendary, and you are no doubt paid handsomely for that service.
