Dear Mr. Helliker, I thought you might find this article interesting: It is dated: Wednesday, 28 November, 2001, 19:49 GMT and is entitled: Mexican study raises GM concern By BBC News Online's Ivan Noble. 

Scientists have found DNA from genetically modified crops in wild maize growing on remote mountains in Mexico. The authors of the study say they found the results hard to believe, but saw them verified by a Mexican Government follow up. 

Now, they are worried that genes from GM crops are unintentionally threatening the valuable diversity of native wild maize.

Well Mr. Helliker, It is not nice to fool or play with Mother Nature.

Respectfully, Stephen L. Tvedten
