Murkowski fighting for Frankenfish labeling

And you know, somewhat related, somebody won the battle that it was OK to label milk from cows that does NOT use Rsbt, the growth hormone that causes a cow to produce more milk than she naturally would.

A similar argument was made that there was no difference in the milk itself. But many people don't like it because it shortens the life span of the cow, by forcing her to produce more than her body can sustain.

But that ruling was made in the days before the Supreme Court's "Citizens United" that certain entities can spend unlimited amounts of campaign donations.

Jimmy Carter recently said that due to that decision, "We no longer live in a democracy". I'm afraid he is right, but now my topic is bending away from its focus again.
