I am sure The Mistress can explain it to us Unicellular organisms.

Simply put: soon there won't be any cotton anymore and we all will have to run around naked and Tex will feel like on Cloud 9

is it just a case of the bugs and beasties have evolved so that they can have their wicked way on the Cotton?

from that I can assume that all other GM crops will go the same way?

It'll happen, sooner or later. Then the crop scientists come up with another genetic modification until the critters catch up again. It's an arms race like in the good old days of the cold war. Same with antibiotics. However, there the retarded use of antibacterial soaps, prescription of antibiotics for idiotic reasons (like a viral infection where antibiotics have zero use) and the improper use of antibiotics by the patients (stopping early in the regimen, taking them not in the prescribed frequency, etc.), is only accelerating development of multiple resistant strains.

you know what's coming if there's a global cotton shortage?!?!?

There's always latex.

Has there ever been any thoughts on how the evolution/mutation of man modified organisms might compare to non man modified organisms?
