Scientists who try to explain how minimal the risk is or how
minor the genetic pollution is are the most employable in our short
term cash-oriented society. This is the usual well-educated
approach. I don't mean to give anyone a hard time over this. My
veiw, however, is that anything that ''could'' happen in the short
term, is ''likely'' to happen in the long term.
