April 12 - Cuty Corn

It's a mystery to me.
We have a greed, with which we have agreed.

~ Eddie Vedder - Society

Monsanto didn't perfect corn - they patented it.  They modified it to resist their own herbicide, then sued farmers for "violating patents" even when pollen drifted onto their land.  That's not innovation - that's biological copyright enforcement.

Diversity abandoned, ownership claimed, and farmers now pay for what was once their birthright.

Society, you're a crazy breed.

This balloon design popped (yeah I WENT there) into my feed recently, 'Cuty Corn' by Balloon Doctor Kim Jung-tae according to my google translate.

To the Monsanto legal team, rest easy - this genome is independent, non-GMO, and owes you nothing under any applicable jurisdiction, real or imagined.  But also - shuck you.

I realize now that this is also a copy of a Sergey Loginov design - which could easily have been referenced in the audio of the video and missed through the auto-translate.
