This is not a new issue, it was not created by genetic modification, and it will never go away. This is why the world is and always will be in a constant search of the next great pesticide/anti-biotic. It's simply evolution. Weeds evolve, bacteria evolve, and thus our technology will evolve.

I have never argued against GMO seeds as a food source or if they are healthy or not. My issue, from the start, has always been with the environmental impact of it all.
And, like I have said, it is a problem and is creating problems. Doesn't mean that GMO seeds should be banned. It just means that RR seeds are not the savior people thought they would be years ago when Monsanto came out with the first seeds. Its time to come up with something new. Which is exactly what Monsanto is doing.
