I'd be willing to bet Monsanto was not arrogant on this in the sense we usually mean. I'd bet they were internally betrayed by bureacracy. People in the middle with responsibility but not the authority to make things happen, who kind of let one litte thing slip or trusted someone instead of checking up or otherwise failed to take the final definititive step to make sure the trait was controlled.
Monsanto may still be fully culpable. I'm just saying their guilt could have been caused as much by human nature as lack of concern.
The GMO genie is out of the bottle, in any event. It is probably necessary to feed humanity. We should be actively trying to guide and control it.
Big drug companies, big armies, big government - this kind of t hing is sadly going to happen and the hell of it is, real people may pay the price for faceless workers failure to comply.
It goes to show that we should all have a backup plan and never trust what seems to be as the final determiner of our livelihood.
