Comment: Analogy

(See in situ)


Now imagine the original weed problem was something voters asked government to take care of, and that our Monsanto-government came up with a solution that made things worse.

The main problem with the analogy is that Monsanto can't mandate we continue to use their product forever, the way the government often does when something doesn't work.

Of course, what the government has done, is make so many advantages to huge farms, that we are closer to having all eggs in one basket, and fewer smaller farms to maintain diversity of techniques of production.

There's a reason why it's better for society if some people embrace change and some don't, and they're free to decide for themselves.

What do you think?
