The original poster seemed concerned that germplasm control would place us
all at the mercy of commercial seed producers and that saving of seed could
be regulated.  While I don't believe such a thing will come to pass,
imagine what discussions on this list would be like if such were the case.
That is why I believe this topic is appropriate for at least a limited
discussion, and certainly more appropriate than such recent  posts as:

>to vote fer his death,
>it has nolthing to do with seeds but republicans are a sure fire way to
>end this world
>go ahead and vote one fer president
>i double scotch broom dare ya.
>even with skunk cabbage in bloom on the side or  a good stalk of stink
>weed
>ha ha

I will gladly bow out of the discussion of this topic on this list.  Anyone
wishing to carry it further can do so privately or on other lists.
