>> Crosses/hybrids, are not just man made, they are also naturally occuring. Would your whining include those.



How many corn/king naturally-occurring crosses do you know of that made it from the wild to a show table? If the incidence is, say, less than one percent of the hybrids that are offered for sale at shows, then I'd say this argument is a straw dog.



>> Lastly, you mention all this, so and so, did this or that, on this table or that table, etc. Yet, all that is about people, not crosses.



Guns don't kill, people kill, right?



>> ...either do something about it or stop the endless whining. There are many things that can be done. As simple as establish a registry of origin.



So we have no right to complain about people counterfeiting money, if we're not personally designing systems to tell the real from the fakes? I'd argue the counterfeiting is still a less-than-desirable pastime--to society, to financial markets and the economy, to currency hobbyists, whoever. Same as art fakes, which, as is the case with hybridizing, some people have a real interest in creating. But the activity makes it harder to identify the authentic and by doing so devalues the genuine. IMHO.
