From the makers of DDT and Agent Orange...

Calling them intellectual property nazis might be a compliment.

The IP issues are less of a problem in my view than the revolving door employment cycle between Monsanto and the FDA, and the whole rBGH debacle. So many of the FDA people were Monsanto sleepers, including the FDA deputy commissioner of policy (who wrote the labeling policies that forbid labels from distinguishing milk that has rBGH from milk that does not), the deputy director of the FDA's Office of New Animal Drugs, and at least one primary reviewer in that same office all worked on rBGH strategies for Monsanto before moving to the FDA. Can we even pretend to be surprised that it was approved? And that we're virtually the -only- first world country that allows its use?

The 50+ superfund sites they're responsible for don't make me any fonder of them.

Even after nearly 15 months of unemployment, I refused to consider working for them (which also pisses me off, given that they're constantly posting job listings that could be custom-written for my experience). My soul and my integrity are worth more than any amount of money they would pay.
