Note that a recent PD article has said that Hopkins came out in support of the ballot measure to ban GMOs.

Sarcasm is a way to put someone in their place. More gentle than stoning, but in the same spirit. As for being in trouble, yes, you are correct on that, whether you realize or not.

We want so much to believe in someone, and most of the time the reality never quite measures up to our expectations.
