Sure, if you are all for governmental tyranny which is what Shakespeare was talking about. If you want complete government control the first thing you must do is kill all the lawyers. That's the quote in context

Deepest pockets and higher product visibility would be my assumption.

Which is the point.

California basically pumps lab rats’ stomachs full of amounts of stuff no human would ever consume and then says “this substance causes cancer” without context to say HOW MUCH would be required to do so.

If I go drink a jerrycan of Roundup, I MIGHT catch cancer but that’s if I don’t die in the meantime from the more immediate effects.





I have gotten roundup in my eyes/mouth or on my skin every single time I have ever used it

So far, no cancer

Monsanto made all the original research the EPA uses to allow others to make it. They were paid for that research too by anyone else that made it. The claims are claims backed up by research the EPA accepted from Monsanto.

The EPA has definitively stated it is not a carcinogen and this was not allowed into evidence is what a lawyer friend of mine told me.

Well assuming he’s your friend, he’s probably wrong about everything he says too

Classify lawyers as a nuisance, like feral hogs, and allow year round hunting.

Round Up isn’t the only weed killer manufacturer that uses glyphosate and in fact, others use a higher concentration of it, but they’re the only one to be sued so far.

Why?



Yea I got some Roundup when we bought a house in April. I hadn't owned a house(used Roundup) since 2011.
That shite does NOT work like it used to.

You realize how many people in the BR, Thibodaux, Nola area benefit from a big fricking Roundup Plant(Bayer formerly Monstanto) in Luling?

You have to be really fricking stupid not to know that and not a SINGLE case of this cancer was from the casual user spraying roundup about their house a few times a year.
