Europe Votes GMO OK

Well, sort of.  The Germans had to abstain on the question, and given the complicated voting rights in the EU, only five countries, all non-corn producers, had to be bought, and I am sure German abstention cost plenty.

The vote which took place that could have vetoed the proposition lost 19 to 28, with 4 member states abstaining from voting. This means only five states wanted GM corn, but the way the weighted voting system is set up in the EU, the Commission is now obliged to pass the GMO crop initiative

This is what happens when you let the State have a say in what people eat.  Power is concentrated, and then policies are written supporting big and crushing small.  Time to end the EU.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
