To whom it may concern,
In reference to allowing genetically modified organisms to enter our food 
crops and eventually into our food supplies, this experiment is most 
dangerous.
Like any good government organization it is your duty to uphold a high degree 
of protection to those of us that you serve. In the real world of politics 
and corporate monetary gain there has been a distorted perspective of who our 
government is serving and for what reasons.
It is obvious that the business of science has overruled the good sense of 
science when it comes to GMO's, (and many other substances). Unfortunately 
the payola of corporate lobbyists have done their job well and GMO's have 
begun to saturate our farm lands with a very dangerous threat to the natural 
order of life at a deep and fundamental level of the biological processes of 
nature. This arrogant interference of biology will unfortunately create a 
devastating effect upon the generations to come. Are you concerned about your 
children's children? Would you want them to possibly suffer because of the 
importance of corporate profit? Can you guarantee GMO foods will not disrupt 
the biology of nature in the long run? Can you comprehend the mystical 
process of natures intelligence? Do you know how the compounds that are mixed 
together to develop GMO's are going to interact with the biological evolution 
of life on this planet, in the long run?  
You cannot fathom the distortion of biological intelligence that GMO's are 
tampering with. How can you be so confident in the industries scientific 
assessment of long term safety when there are no models available for how 
nature will interact with these aberrations of the plant kingdom? What will 
occur if nature develops strange funguses and viruses to destroy these GMO 
crops? What will happen to our food supplies then? How many people will have 
to suffer and die with strange diseases before the GMO experiment is fully 
and fairly assessed? Who will be responsible if it takes twenty or thirty 
years for a devastating problem to occur?
Why does the U.S. government ignore the possible and unforeseeable dangers of 
GMO's?  If you are willing to allow this corporate experiment to become a 
possible threat to the food supply and eventually to the human organism then 
you are gambling for very high stakes indeed.
I am not willing to allow the corporations who have brought us DDT, atomic 
radiation poisoning, tobacco and thousands of other highly toxic and 
dangerous compounds  that have seriously polluted our air, water, lands, and 
foods to feed me with their new cash cow experiment. These corporations have 
a long history of trying to convince us that all of these substances are safe 
for us. Have you looked around to recognize the relationship of our toxic 
environment and the rate of illness that permeates our rich and powerful 
country.
Scientific logic and theory, when it comes to outsmarting nature with 
chemicals and laboratory inventions has always proved quite dangerous to the 
ecological equilibrium in nature and in the biological processes of all life 
forms in the long run. GMO's are a very high risk experiment, but as you may 
know, a very profitable endeavor if the public can be persuaded to shut up 
and accept the corporate scientists proposed safety sales pitch.
Ignorance does not always lead to blissful experiences. 
There are so many ways to improve the food supply and the quality of life for 
human beings that would include working with the biological laws of nature. 
In allowing the financial nectar of corrupt corporate management to dictate 
government policy through back room politics in order to generate the 
billions of dollars in proposed profits for said corporations is quite 
unethical and immoral.   

I do not agree with the proposed rules that would allow GMO foods to enter 
into the consumer food chain without our knowledge and without our ability to 
determine whether we want to be a guinea pig for scientific experimentation 
in the realm of microorganism mutations.
Please incorporate some ethical consumer concerns in making your choices in 
all laws pertaining to GMO foods. If you are going to err, do it in favor of 
public health, not corporate wealth. 

Limit the amount of GMO's that are allowed into our environment. 
The conviction of safety from corporate hired scientists is indeed ludicrous. 
I demand long term independent studies that are done fairly and without 
corporate influence.
I demand labels on all GMO products so I have the ability to choose what 
substances go into my body. 
I demand to be informed of what goes into GMO foods and how they are made.
I think very stringent laws are necessary in producing GMO products.

There is a wise old saying that reminds us that everything that you do will 
eventually come back to you. It is the law of life. 
Govern with wisdom, life is a very precious thing.
Sincerely,
Daniel Kilrain
