Retired judge Justice Patrick Tabaro writes of a proposed law in Uganda that looks to adversely affect its independence and, specifically, what is starting to be called these days "food security".
[...] science is not a magic wand for solving man's food security concerns, but must be applied in accordance with Ubuntu (humaneness).
[...] Since the advent of civilization, peasants have had capacity to plant their own seeds. With the advent of GMO farming, the peasants who constitute 70 per cent of the population have their fate sealed; they may fall into the debt trap, fail to service bank loans and will be in danger of losing their cherished land holdings to financial institutions – and this may entail food insecurity for everyone.
[...] God forbid that anyone should be targeting our scientists to make us vulnerable for easy domination.
He concludes that [w]ith GMOs, there is no Ubuntu, (human nature, humanness, humanity, virtue, goodness, and kindness).

i would assume that with the assassination and flag panting on the (so far ultimate triangulation and honest point_ of the apollo moon boot( president), that the diverted third world war still didn't convince the crazy-gen of superior Darwinism to die, that we are prone to devolve to ape like states only with the earth slowly recuperating from the crazy solar-flare induced gen mutation that was spared a logical purge by some lucky family a few 100 years ago, hiding in the hard work of the believing population ... for a better and much much bigger world.
one would assume that the center of gravity is hard at work to NOT argue and just collectively wipe-out human kind just because we could not purge ... killing can be done "humanly" just ask your local McD et al.

It's time to lay off the drugs, your post is barely intelligible. Or conversely get ON the drugs if you're 100% sober, something ain't right.

Looks to me like a case of one too many trips through the subspace mycelium. This is why slingshot around the sun is the preferred method of time travel.
Using subspace mycelium has too much of a risk of experiencing each of the 4 simultaneous 24 hour days... simultaneously!
