George Sorros reduced his holdings in Monsanto last year (2011) from 2.6 million shares to 79,400 shares, which are valued at about $6 million.
Hmmm . is the source on that verified? And did he actually reduce his holdings or just hide them under the auspices of one of his other umbrellas?
hmmmm,
sec 13f holdings report for quarter ended 6/30/2011.
but certainly don't believe it if it doesn't fit within your belief structure.

I'll check those out--thanks for the recommendation.
I guess my only real point was that we maybe need to as a society (and I mean globally) start asking the question of why things have become this way in general.
Monsanto is sure enough an awful, awful company--but this type of business practice is an endemic problem, and it occurs throughout all industries. Even if we were to destroy Monsanto--another would take it's place. I'm only suggesting that we need to look to what is producing the conditions for companies to exist this way--and attack those. We need to find a way to kill the Hydra--not chop off one of it's heads.
Edit:
However in the meantime chopping off this head is certainly a good cause that we should all get behind--I don't want to detract from that clear truth.
Correct; and the only way to prevent another cartel leader from just taking over the cartel after shooting the first one is to change the rules of the game. That's why I advocate for the repeal of 'corporate personhood'- and to tax them at the same rates as the workers they so willingly toss away like so much scrap. If corporations had to abide by standards of ethics wtih the force of law and real teeth in them, the playing field would change overnight. We as citizens actually DO have this power, but only if we're united. The right wing strategy of divide and conquer has been working for a long time now, so long that many of us have forgotten where the real power lies, or what to do with it.
Exactly, I'm all for burying Monsanto--but if we're going to band together and accomplish something (not likely--sad to say) then we should change the practices, not individual practitioners.
People only come together around issues very rarely--when it happens that they do, their cause should address the whole problem, not a tiny part of it.
Either way sign me up for anything I can do to help bury these dudes.
