    Interesting, burn the weeds. Thanks man, I'll give it a try. I was going to do Roundup but I like the idea of burning better.

    y dad is one of those roundup people. The crazy thing is that it never even kills his weeds. It only kills the grass, Lol. But, that does not stop him from hosing things down with it. A torch works better, seriously.

    You are so right, it seems senseless to die for something so unimportant.

    Well it is kind of sad now that I watched the vid a little bit. Sad for the weeds. But I guess you burn them and they just disappear in a few days. They will still be there at first but will vanish in a few days. Here is a vid.

    We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We are all made from the same dust of stars. We cannot be separated because all life is interconnected.

    And there are no laws regulating the Lawsuit Lottery.

    Do the lawyers get only half, or more?

    Is the judgement proportionate to the harm, or merely proportionate to the deep pockets of the defendant?

    Is the judgement consistent with the Eigth Amendment?

    We the People DID NOT vote in a majority Rodent Congress, they stole it via election fraud.

    Apparently there are no laws requiring those in Congress to tell the truth, Mr Schiff.

    More than 13,000 plaintiffs have filed similar lawsuits against Monsanto, alleging the company’s herbicides cause non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the company has hidden the risks.

Had they not lied, people like the Pilliods would have at least taken precautions when using the product as they would have with chemicals with known health consequences.
    Most of them are idiots. The directions for using these products are right there on the SAFETY LABELS. Mine says to wear rubber surgical gloves when handling these products in the mixing stage and to make sure your spray equipment is working properly.
    I don't believe that it says you can almost put it on cereal.
    Some things in life require the person be smarter than the situation.

    I suspect Monsanto will challenge this. At any rate why not give the couple a few million and ban roundup? Wouldn't that make more sense.

    Did anyone notice that Round up was listed and "Probable" to cause cancer by the UN such and such?

    So not defiantly?
    That's a lot of money being awarded for something that isn't sure?
    likely to be the case or to happen.
