A lot of speculation in there and not a lot of evidence to make any conclusions (and it's from 2005, almost a decade old now)... There's also no mention of the EU's ban on GMOs or the changes in their absence... perhaps you're thinking of their more recent neonicotinoid ban?

I actually have read about the CCD issue before, and if it's still happening it's a sad problem -- but in no way enough evidence to be skeptical of GMOs. Just too much upside.

Perhaps. But to be frank, I am skeptical of many modern conventions. I am from the school of thought that believes things were better when they were simpler. Sure, there may have been more deaths, but then the world wasn't rife with issues brought by overpopulation.
