Comments for Brazil Threatens Severe Punishment to Anyone Growing GM Corn at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 1 out of 1 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:17:34 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/5159/1/#pc_2113 ..only on paper, as usual ! Money will change hands again, to gain impunity. Although this time it is on GM corn seeds, not later than until 2004, GM soya seeds were also illegal. This did not stop your farmers to smuggle and grow illegally this GM seed. In fact so much was planted and harvested, while being illegal, that it represented the majority of soya grown in the south of Brazil. So much was planted and harvested that your lawmakers, so slow as usual, but on purpose, could later on only legalize the GM soya seeds. And until its legalization how many people have been severly fined and punished ? Simple demonstration that in Brazil, once more, laws are not supposed to be followed or applied. In Brazil laws are just...on paper, the same as the laws against anyone found guilty of corruption and/or vote buying. Injustice, non governance, no rule of law, impunity, corruption, insecurity, is in your daily life. Cheers - Guest Fri, 13 Jan 2006 04:07:01 +0100
