Introduction

The objective of this blog is to be able to look at the controversy of the effect of Bt—a recently genetically implanted bacterium in corn crops—on the Monarch butterfly species. Hopefully the blog will allow me to better analyze information that I come upon as I find it, and as I process what it may mean. Also what I intend by analyzing, may not be the typical way of doing such, instead I am viewing statements and claims made in a “Latourian-like” fashion. I will be using what I’ve retained from Bruno Latour’s book, Science in Action, and as I read and finish up his later work, Politics in Action. Further, I will view things not for what is said in particular, but as what weight claims or statements have and how those claims are being measured and used in other articles to hold purpose or support more claims.
