Actually, the politicians know that as well. Which is why BHO signed the "Monsanto Protection Act" this week.

The real thrust of which is that its a limitation on liability to protect them from future monetary claims against their various GMO-Pesticides, etc.

Of course this counteracts the inherent protections that markets give, so instead of being sued out of existence for their mistakes - they are enshrined into law.




Lawsuits take place in courts, not markets. Meanwhile, a little clarification is in order. In general, referring to the President as 'BHO' sets off my bullshit detector and this indicator depressingly reliable.
