Europeans celebrate, desecrate
On the peaceful bank of the Oderbruch, Germans celebrate the ban on GM crops, and the destruction of a field trial in the vicinity that saw 52 arrested. Not far away, in Düllstadt, activists destroy the last remaining field trial of GM maize in Bavaria. A bit further south, in Switzerland, activists hurl a "lethal cocktail" into a field trial of GM wheat, while another Swiss field trial is enclosed by a double fence, patrolled by a guard and a dog. This all happened in the last few days. Europe isn't looking civilized.

NZ uproar over banishing GM trees
Organic advocates in New Zealand are reacting with shock and horror at the prospect of GM trees. Not that the trees will overshadow their cabbage-patches, but that the trees will be sent out of the country and grown in the US. You'd think they'd welcome this banishment, but they don't. You figure it out.
