You're right, Roudup herbicide use within the corn (and other) crops is
likely to go up.
But Roundup herbicide is not a bug killer and does not poison the soil
or water.

Well I may have to because these genetically modified crops will result
in big reductions in the use of conventional insecticides I sell. Maybe
God might spare me a few hundred years in hell if I changed careers and
did something good for bugs instead of killing them. Like raise
butterflies for a living. But wait!  How many people on this list think
its OK to raise and release common butterflies like monarchs and painted
ladies for a living?

Maybe if I just went and got a decent government job, wrote butterfly
books, became an environmental defense lawyer or went around begging for
grants to make a living I would somehow be environmentally "pure" in
everyones eyes?
