GMO Ban Lifted in Europe

Well, this made my day! I realize that this (the ban on GMO's) probably couldn't be maintained, and that, as it stands, there's still some strident labelling requirements. But I can't help feeling that folks do not understand the issues with GMO's, or even with biotechnology in general. We're playing at being gods here: I only hope we understand the rules of the game ...

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
