Scary thought.

Where do the anti-GE food hippies fall in an argument like this?

Are you calling me a commie, SM? I resemble that accusation, but only in months that end with "r." The rest of the time I'm mostly a liberal anarchist. Actually, given the right mind altering drugs to a massive enough segment of the population, any political system would work. They're all great in theory, but when the rubber hits the road, they all begin to show signs of wear sooner or later even if the trains do arrive on time.
