    oh that's notihing years ago when the dutch parlement and govornement were discussing geneticly modified food some greenleft party member said:" I don't want any DNA in my food"

    It get's worse, nobody was laughing or explaining here what DNA is and that it in fact is not that scary.

    Keep in mind this is 10 or more years ago when biotecnology was not that common but stil some one who thing DNA is scary should not be alowd to make laws about it.
