Bill Gates is building himself a new monopoly-based fortune - this time he
(well, Monsanto) owns the seed that goes into growing the world's crops.
Farmers found with unlicensed crops are pursued by sharp lawyers.
Here's the trick: the seeds, genetically modified to resist their weed-killer
product Round-up(R) - are borne on the wind to places where no one wants
Monsanto's Frankenstein crops - yet, the seed are Monsanto's, so the farmer is
on the hook and the lawyers come a-calling.
As a bonus, the farms seized as collateral can be sold off cheaply to industrial
farming outfits willing to sleep with the Monsanto devil.
No wonder the patent enforcing industry spend willingly to secure legal and
political protection.
