I know I come across as cynical and distopian (that's bitter and angry in Obama-speak), but I genuinely fear it has to get worse before it will get better. Monsanto hold genuine advantages in terms of compelling narratives for selling their mirages.

And a lot of things are gonna have to go wrong before that narrative gets scratched.
