But people like this really irritate the shít outta me. These things have been growing natively for a helluva lot longer than anyone actually knows. But yet this kid wants to bioengineer them to make them better??? How about you leave nature to nature for a damn change. I wish that just every once in awhile people would see something other than dollar signs.
