Why should they label it? Have you ever seen a Labradoodle? Do you have children? GMO right there from cross breeding. Instead of it taking years and massive amounts of $$ to cross bread plants to their desired state (as it was done in the past), companies can identify the specific trait (like drought resistence) and match it up with the plant. You are still eating that plant and b/c a drought resistence seed can be sold to climates that would benefit, those populations can start to feed themselves, become productive, healthier, and self sufficient. Labeling might be used by anti-GMO groups to imply unhealthy and scare consumers and lead down a path of banning or just killing the market. Like with the DDT example above, sometimes legislation ends up hurting more than it ever intended. Besides, what would the label be? Something misleading and ominous like GMO FOOD! in big letters or something more accurate like "protein strain 12345 added".
The health care coverage markets has many flaws. Obamacare doesn't address those. Stop with the pathetic blaming of Republicans. Good grief, how shallow and intellectually dishonest does a person have to be to not recognize what happened. Dems had supermajorities and couldn't get the votes of their own moderates, let alone bring in any Republicans. They locked meeting room doors and held secret meetings (MSM won't tell you about that). You also need to take a closer look at your comparison facts. I challenge you to read some Heritage foundation material on the matter which is well-sourced.
Child porn is morally disgusting and children are powerless in the face of those who enslave them that way. Seat belts were an early indicator of insurance companies lobbying government in order to save the bottom lines on spreadsheets. Fire suppression laws are to prevent a fire from spreading, which can threaten others.
What do you mean by eliminated? What a tolerant point of view you have... I wonder sometimes how cultures that are smoking friendly (as was in the US for decades) did not have people just dropping in the streets. You miss the point. What prevents the next version of you from saying the same thing about fatty foods, sugary foods, or salty foods?
How long does it take a regular smoker to develop lung cancer? 20-30-40 years? More? How much damage does someone who occasionally encounters a smoker really have? Would it take 60 years? 80 years? longer? Let's say your odds of xyz disease increase 25% from being around a smoker. Well, if your odds before were 1 in a thousand, they'd now be 1.025 in a thousand. Is that worth trampling the rights of private property owners (bars and restaurants)? Definitely not as worrisome as the stuff coming from your car's tailpipe, the asbestos in that old building or the cheesburger you just ate. So please spare me the self-righteous indignation that the 2nd hand smoke propaganda is some serious affront to your liberty. btw, I do not smoke
As Mitch Daniels, Gov. of Indiana said of Illinois.. "it's like living next door to the Simpsons"
