I just saw the film "Bullshit" this week. (about the environmental activist Vandana Shiva and her fight against Monsanto, a big American biotech company) I originally went to the panel discussion and viewing of the film becuase it was an out of class lecture for my extinction class that would give me some extra credi...t in the class, but extra credit or not I am really glad I went.
