You seem to be back-peddling here, jean-claude. A quick review:

1) I commented on the promises of genetic engineering as a possible aid to
solving the problems of global hunger.

2) You replied that what I see as solutions are actually a "spinning out
from the center" and "attempting to remove ourselves from our source, from
the natural environment that sustains us".

3) I interpret this to mean that you are opposed to any attempt to implement
genetic engineering in the food supply -- that you think such attempts are
wrong action for our species with possibly dire consequences.

4) but now you say that no, that is not what you meant, that I have
misunderstood you.

So then I can put your name down on the list as someone who is not opposed
to genetically modified foods. Yes?
