    Well golly gee whizz! If a Russian politician said it, then it must be true. Right?

    What an asinine argument.

    Even if it were true, and I’m willing to accept that it is, the perceived “need” of a technology is not a rational basis on which to reject or ban that technology. If this were the case, modern cars may never have been developed because at the time of their invention there were practically no roads, no service stations and no pressing need given that the top speed of one of the first cars (built by the Duryea brothers in 1893) was an impressive 7.5 mph.

    Here’s a tip folks. Don’t use this argument unless you’re actively trying to lose a debate.

    1. Golly whiz. The article sez that Prime Minister Dvorkovich said: “We believe that the world can be fed without genetically modified products. We are not against the technology, but we are not going to use them in our country; we are not going to grow such products.”

      So Russia isn’t totally against the pathogenic GMOS; they just won’t use them.

      It doesn’t matter WHO said such & such, however. It just matters whether the statement is TRUE.

    Good for them. I’m happy to see that they’re able to grow most of their own food on small organic farms. If people here want real “homeland security”, they’d be doing the same thing in this country.
