Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
Genetically Modified Organisms in MY foods! 
So as y'all may know by now I'm from CT, and we have become the first state to pass a law requiring food companies to label the existence of GMOs.

Personally I think it's crap despite what my Facebook feed thinks. GMOs aren't a bad thing, without them 1/3 of our population would starve. My boyfriend actually compares it to people who want va.ccines banned (ok, it's not that bad), and that people are "afraid of science".
The labeling law won't stop GMOs from being produced and food companies will keep chugging along just fine.
I need to know where the line of what is and isn't a GMO lies, since we've been basically genetically modifying our food for centuries.
"I'm going to sow the seed from my biggest tomatoes to have bigger tomatoes next year" Genetic Modification!
"I'm going to breed my biggest chickens" Genetic Modification!
"I like my carrots to have a bright orange hue" Genetic Modification!
GMOs aren't scary, you've been eating them for years!
Rant over. Thoughts?
