doesn't make a difference if Monsanto contaminated the fields using a crop duster or with the seeds blowing in from a nearby GM field. Monsanto knew full well the surrounding non-GM fields would eventually become contaminated with their foul GM seeds one way or another.

Sadly, the victims have no legal recourse because the judges and politicians have all been bought and paid for by Monsanto. ie., Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was, or still is, a corporate lawyer for Monsanto. The FDA, EPA, USDA, the Justice Department, Congress, even the White House, all levels of government are staffed with hundreds of current or former employees, representatives and executives of Monsanto. The resulting corruption of the US government has been shocking, massive, and blatant beyond belief. This is truly a government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations.
