People were worried about the impact on the broader gene pool by GM crops
due to possible horizontal transfer, this shows that simple selction
pressure will do it instead.  Evolution is very powerful and doesn't
necessarily take millions of years, it is best to have such forces on side
and not to go head to head.

The nineteenth century attitude that mankind is the pinacle of creation and
born to subjugate the world in any way he sees fits is still alive and well.
How long is it going to take to learn that manipulating just one aspect of a
living system instead of trying to deal with the whole thing is likely to
lead to unexpected and probably unwanted consequences.
