Look at the facts
It’s no surprise Ray Songtree, in letters for Thursday, Sept. 12, TGI, said, “The government cannot be trusted.” It is the very foundation of Bill 2491.
Along with seeing GMOs as an international conspiracy, Songtree’s website, suggests President Obama is a CIA plant, that Sandy Hook was just paid actors, that the Boston Marathon bombing was “proven false also,” and so much more.
Songtree and the rest of the anti-GMO sect have the right to believe in whatever conspiracy theories they want. But we have a choice as an island. Do we jump down the rabbit hole with them and pass Bill 2491, or do we look at the facts and science instead?

Corporate money or health-Bill 2491
These chemically genetic modified patented seed companies may give a few islanders a well-paying job for a while but the eventual cost to the land, water, sea, as well as our own personal health, makes the whole island one big guinea pig.
The seeds they alter are sterile, so they must be bought each year and sold at the whims of the 2 percent controlling our world economy. Not only are they sterile but they override our God-given natural seed, which will destroy organic farming.
Foods produced by these GMO seeds require frequent spraying of the corporate owned “Round Up” containing toxic glyphosate, linked to 35 diseases in humans.
These multinational corporations are primarily owned by the 2 percent who already own or control 80-90 percent of the world’s economy and our God-given land resources. Do you really want them to control ours here, too?

Pass the bill
The Bill 2491 must be passed. I had the opportunity to spend a whole week at The Cliffs in Princeville by myself from Aug. 30 to Sept. 6. While there I did not experience any difficulty breathing, no coughing, no itchy eyes, no mucus discharge, etc. When I got back home to my apartment in Waimea it all started up again … difficulty breathing, coughing, itchy eyes and mucus discharge.
Sure it is said to be allergies, but these allergies are the outcome of a weakened immune system brought on by the chemicals in the air. People tend to accept things but our health and lives are in jeopardy. The quality of life is definitely being jeopardized by greed. We have the best lands to grow our own food. Just today I bought a yellow bell pepper from Holland. Imagine that.
