GM Coca
GM coca has finally reached the markets. Back in June I was wondering about a possible genetically modified coca, one resistant to glyphosate and much more pernicious than the normal varieties.
Lo and behold, that's happened already: The Scotsman reports on a new super strain of coca discovered in the Sierra Nevada, North of Colombia. A plant with 4 times more hydrochloride, and resistant to glyphosate.
What now, fumigation with Napalm? It is only those pesky Colombians living there, you know?
Then again, the government of the USA has always been famous for its ability to defoliate other countries, while doing nothing about their addict President.

GM Coca! Wow! I'm sure they'll be going for more addictive too. Tell 'em to get addicted to blogging instead.

I don't know if I should feel angry or simply sit down and cry. Why the human kind doesn't use science and advance to actually do something for itself instead of against?
