You've probably seen the TV commercials urging us to invest in Gold. I saw one yesterday urging us to invest in seeds. Seeds -- the most important investment you can make. At first, I thought perhaps I had accidentally changed the channel and was watching a Saturday Night live parody.

No, he was serious. In a crisis, he pleaded, there can be no more important asset than seeds to plant a rich, bountiful garden, and he could assure us that none of his seeds had been genetically altered.

Am I the only one who saw that?
