I cannot believe "Forbes" rated monsanto one of the good environmentally responsible corporations. I started to nervously laugh and then I got very angry about it.http://www.forbes.com/2009/03/05/best-corporate-citizens-leadership-citizenship-...
At the link scroll down to check out monsanto's ratings.
Are we all going mad in this world? Are most of us corrupted and blind about the destruction of our planet?
For those who are not yet aware of this evil monster destroying our planet check this link and join the battle "Millions against monsanto".
Let's stop them!

I posted a comment there as well. Let's see if it makes it:
Monsanto? Is this a joke? Let's see: How about Forbes actually does some research and ask the people of Anniston Alabama if Monsanto is environmentally responsible when they read off to you the parts per million of poisons in their blood due to Monsanto's toxifying of their town with PCBS. Or the generations of people in Vietnam and veterans of the Vietnam war who still suffer from the effects of Agent Orange. Or those now in Mexico, Argentina, India, and even America who suffer debt and destruction of their lives and crops due to transgenic contamination of GMOS and Monsanto's legal gestapo due to their desire to patent life itself to not lose ONE DOLLAR OF BUSINESS. I don't know what it costs to have your name mentioned here in a good light for the PR, but you can be assured this is the LAST time I will ever read your magazine, your site, or place credence in anything you report here. How dare you include this horrible company on any list to do with environmental responsibility. And your other picks aren't so hot either. DOW? BHOPAL DOW? EXXON (Valdez) MOBIL? Nuclear waste Entergy? Again, are you kidding?

I just read through all of the comments on Forbes regarding this insane list. I ran across this link (above) which seems to do a much nicer job of profiling corporations. Seems the list that Crocodyl.org has created, is much more honest.

Of course you can't believe it. And you shouldn't. But the sad fact is that Forbes can't believe it either, and despite that, he's misrepresented it as though it were the truth, which likely means he was bribed to lie. Not necessarily by some individual directly greasing his palm, but because he's part of a cabal which uniformly has an agenda involving an extreme minority of uber rich who seek economic world domination. So that they seek to promote their own financial interests at the expense of everyone else by any means necessary. If they can use lies and mind control, it's cheaper for them because they don't represent the People whom they seek to represent of, by, and for the People. But rather Big Money, of, by, and for Big Money. When I took Social Psychology I studied Festinger's experiment in which he theorized a behavioral phenomenon called Cognitive Dissonance. 2 groups of people were paid differing amounts of money to express as though true facts they knew to be false. Some were paid a Ben Franklin
Silver half dollar. And some were paid a $5 dollars in Silver Certificates. The group paid the bigger money
were found to have consistently lied straight faced, while the group paid the smaller money could not be
witnessed as being believeable. When they asked the experimental group, then the control group, for the reasoning behind their attitude they unilateraly replied they could not believe they could be paid so cheaply to lie, which carried over into their credibility.

When VeraSun Energy inaugurated a new ethanol processing plant last summer in Charles City, Iowa, some of that industry’s most prominent boosters showed up. Leaders of the National Corn Growers Association and the Renewable Fuels Association, for instance, came to help cut the ribbon — and so did Senator Barack Obama.
Then running far behind Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in name recognition and in the polls, Mr. Obama was in the midst of a campaign swing through the state where he would eventually register his first caucus victory. And as befits a senator from Illinois, the country’s second largest corn-producing state, he delivered a ringing endorsement of ethanol as an alternative fuel.

Who owns Forbes you ask? I'll break it down for ya. Forbes is owned by a board of six people called...Elevation Partners. Guess who is one of those six board members? Mr. Bono. The Bono of U2 that is. True story...

Consider the source: "FORBES" is NOT the Sierra Club, or National Geographic.
This is like Mother Earth News evaluating the Most Fiscally Responsible Oil Spill.

Everybody has their price - and I don't mean the one on the cover of Forbes. They have certainly lost whatever credibility they had left by selling out the consumer with these despicable environmental ratings.

I saw this and was appalled by it. How much did Monsanto pay them for the press? The negative truthful press must be getting to them. Forbes is getting a letter from me. How dare they LIE like this. Monsanto has KILLED PEOPLE with their Agent Orange, PCBS, and God knows what else, and their GM test tube garbage is transgenically contaminating the planet not to mention the poison glyphosate running into the Gulf of Mexico and other waterways causing dead zones. People have also gotten ill from it, but Monsanto is environmentally responsible? What a load of sh*t. To even THINK to say they are environmentally responsible except in poisoning it , well, you had to have been paid off to say it. What the hell is this world coming to? GREED is killing us.

If the Forbes they're speaking of is Steve Forbes, then he's the guy who attempted to run for President in 1996. If I recall correctly he was competing with Bob Dole for the Republican nomination. Mr. Billionaire now could not beg, borrow, or steal any credibility. I wish these uber rich greedos would realize that the only real reason they have so much money is not because the worked for it, but because they stole it by the most obfuscated form of Fraud immaginable. Money can't make money because it can't produce wealth. And real money is a finite, invaluable creation of God, like precious metals, needed work, and irreplaceable Time itself. Real money CAN'T be printed. When people earn the money they have they value it and are satisfied with having enough. But Forbes and his ilk are like an engine redlining its RPMs to explosion.That's what unbridled Capitalism is all about. Their extreme greed is causing extreme need in this World as their cold blooded viciousness could care less. Forbes reminds me of the alchoholics anymous rational argument: " A man takes a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes the man " Because if you substitute money for drink, the result is the same logical equivalence. And worse than that ? His kind are devaluing OUR money by hyperinflating it. The "Billions" Forbes has are funny money. It's real money value is only Millions in terms of Gold and Silver and Platinum, and Palladium.. His obsession with accumulating power is a form of insanity as any obsession would be, which makes him believe in his own lies. Social Psychologists call this
behavioral phenomenon "cognitive dissonance" It's the reason why clerics call money the root of all evil, though I feel the lack of it is the worst evil of all. - 11 months ago

The FCC didn't think Madoff was worth investigating. How's that worked out?
CNBC promoted stocks which tanked within weeks after. How's that worked out?
Talking heads come in many forms, saying many falsehoods. We can't believe them just because they say it. Monsanto's history says otherwise. They are harming us more than helping us. Doesn't matter what Forbes say. We can't put trust in 'talking heads' in the future! They spin what they want, when they want.

Jon Steward did what non of the media have the courage to do with his video collage showing the reality and then what the bubble corporation stock promoting idiots at CNBC were saying.
I don't know if you saw it but I liked it so much I recorded it. CNN, MSNBC, FOX and all the others would never tell the truth. - 11 months ago

I saw it and applaud the efforts to show the confusion of CNBC and the 'talking heads' who spin distortion, leading America off the cliff.
And to watch them today, they are blaming President Obama.
I watch Jon Stewart every night. Sad, we must watch a comedy show to find reality based information. Nobody does it better. Kudos to Jon Stewart!
