All Hail The New Religion! (Whatever the cost)

There's something strange going on in public life these days. Those that were meant to be on our side (the nice Labour government, doctors, scientists, researchers) come out with the most ridiculous drivel, while all those repressive institutions that were supposed to belong to the old order get it spot on. For a good example of this, get your head around Princes Charles' interview in the Daily Telegraph today.
The Monarchy is well past its sell by date, but when it takes the future King of England to state the bleeding obvious that GM foods are not the answer, then something has gone very wrong indeed.
I will not knowingly touch GM foods, I would rather starve. But the New Religion that calls itself 'Science' will have no truck with that. All tomatoes must look the same, taste the same and last for 4 weeks on the supermarket shelves, after being pulled from the vine way before they were ready.
When you turn the essentials of life over to the hands of business MEN and their apologists - scientists - you've got a crisis on your hands. And as the Prince says 'If that's the future, then count me out.' How serious this must be that I would even consider saying 'Long live the King!'
