I tend to stay away from political comments in here by giving the torch to others.

after reading what you wrote:

I did want to say this about Monsanto found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmer_Assurance_Provision,

Those who opposed the provision referred to it as the "Monsanto Protection Act", on the premise that it "effectively bars federal courts from being able to halt the sale or planting of controversial genetically modified (aka GMO) or genetically engineered (GE) seeds, no matter what health issues may arise concerning GMOs in the future".
