GOD DID IT, DON'T BLAME ME

fron the Bennington Banner comes this:

Up in Vermont, a bill might be reintroduced in the legislature called The Seed Bill. The bill was designed to protect organic farmers from being sued when patented genetically modified seeds accidentally spread onto their property.
There have been a number of lawsuits in the past few years where corporations have sued farmers for growing patented genetically modified seeds without permission, even if the seeds landed on the farmer's property by an act of nature.
Some also fear that organic farmers, whose crops became tainted by the altered product, would sue the users of genetically modified seeds.
