转基因可以定向毁灭这世界一个大洲吗？这个，我不知道。但我吃到的色拉油（什么人给取这个名字的？）越来越难吃，这是确切的事情。说不定，味觉的警告，暗示这东西确实不地道。
2500多年前有一个典故，当时有位大神通阿罗汉能够入定随顺观察世界，发现过100年后的牛奶味道比不上当时的河水，大阿罗汉不禁为众生福德日渐浇薄而悲伤。
地球的人类数量正在一个顶峰期，对资源的开发应用也在顶峰期。人多了，平均资源不够支撑，每个个体能享用的资源就要掺水。和平年代，情况极端时，就会发生饥饿、灾荒。
转基因哪里来的？肯定里应外合进来的。一切以效率为先的社会，选择转基因食品是那么顺畅。如果转基因食品真的是后现代改造人类体质的核武级别武器，那么改造人类身体和基因。
就我的观感，基因武器相较于文化认同，后者更“有力”。
骑行在大街上，每每这样的窘样：看到前面骑在车上的JM穿着高不及腰的裤子，后面的内衣内裤从车座墩后臀暴露出来。低腰裤，如此难看而没有美感的东西，竟然大行其道。时装设计师们是吃神马的？要命的是，那段时间满大街的外贸店专卖店都找不到一条正常腰身的裤子。
低腰裤，就是不能吃的转基因食品。

维基百科 吉米.威尔士 新年募捐信
Dear xiao**,
Thank you for your donation to this year's fundraiser.
We're a little more than half-way toward our 2010 goal. We want to take down the fundraising banners from Wikipedia by January 1, as usual. But we have long-overdue upgrades to our infrastructure planned for the year ahead. So our goal is bigger this year than usual.
That's why I'm hoping you won't mind if I ask you to help again with a small monthly recurring gift of $3, $7, $13 or whatever you choose. It's easy to do right here:
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/WMFRE/en
Of course, you can also make another one time gift to help get us to our goal.
Most people don't know this, but I'm a volunteer.
I don't get paid a cent for my work at Wikipedia, and neither do our thousands of other volunteer authors and editors. When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners, but I decided to do something different.
Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn't belong here. Not in Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is something special. It is like a library or a public park. It is like a temple for the mind. It is a place we can all go to think, to learn, to share our knowledge with others. It is a unique human project, the first of its kind in history. It is a humanitarian project to bring a free encyclopedia to every single person on the planet.
Every single person.
If all of Wikipedia's 400 million users would donate $1 each, we would have 20 times the amount of money we need. We're a small organization, and I've worked hard over the years to keep us lean and tight. We fulfill our mission, and leave waste to others.
To do this without resorting to advertising, we need you. It is you who keep this dream alive. It is you who have created Wikipedia. It is you who believe that a place of calm reflection and learning is worth having.
Thanks,
Jimmy Wales
Wikipedia Founder
P.S. — If you can't commit to a recurring monthly donation, I hope you'll consider making another to help us reach our goal before the end of the year. Please make your donation today.

宋朝太平兴国年间，有一位法名辨聪的僧人，游方到五台山，时值仲夏，便于清凉寺内寄驻，随五台山僧众结夏安居。当时僧众中有一位老比丘，举止疯疯颠颠，大众都瞧不起他，唯独辨聪对他承事恭敬。
结夏安居圆满后，辨聪即将离寺，继续云游。当他向老比丘辞别时，老比丘从怀里拿出一封书信，嘱咐他说：”到开封城北，找到叫薄荷的，把信投给他！”。辨聪拜别离开五台山，走了一段路才发现老比丘没交代地址，心里嘀咕：”地址不详，从何找起？信里头不知写了什么要紧的事？”又不好绕回五台山，就拆开信来看，信上写着：”你在世间游化日久，那些众生容易调伏吗？若已调伏，度生的事就完成了，可速返回，待太久，恐被强缘打失，流入世间的业报，至祷，至祷！”辨聪看完大惊，赶忙把信再封起来。
有一天，辨聪经过开封广济河畔，远远听到有一群小孩在呼唤：”薄荷！薄荷！”辨聪过去问：”谁是薄荷？他人在那里？”小孩指着一间赵姓人家的猪栏，说：”猪栏内脖子上带个铜铃，金色鬃毛的大猪，就叫薄荷。”
辨聪前去赵姓养猪人家，便问主人：”这条猪为什么叫薄荷？”主人说：”这条猪很特别，很爱干净，只吃薄荷，所以村里的小孩都叫喊薄荷。平常有屠户来捉猪时，其它的猪只都怕得四处奔跑逃逸，如果猪只牵到薄荷的身边，都会安静下来，也不乱跑哀嚎，任由屠户宰杀。因此以后屠户都会牵薄荷到等着宰杀猪只的身边，绕上一圈，省了以往宰杀猪只时的惨烈的挣扎与哀嚎。所以一家人很爱惜他，多年来都舍不得杀。”
辨聪听完之后，就叫了一声：”薄荷！有信给你！”大猪闻声前脚跃起来站着，辨聪将信投过去，猪一口吞下，保持像人站的姿势，随即就迁化往生了。
这个故事出自印光大师修订的《清凉山志》，薄荷猪原来是为了度化众生，乘大悲愿力，倒驾慈航玩”潜伏”的菩萨。菩萨们”应以猪身得度者，即现猪身而为说法”，以启发众生心中的无尽藏。
