    off topic, but how has the oil spill affected animal life around there if at all?
    The jury is still out on that one...even some mixed signals....hearing some reports about problems among the dolphins....apparently some deformities are being found among crabs and fish along Louisiana's coast. The buzz is that some of the problems seem more tied to the dispersants used than to the oil.
    that would surely be typical. The cure is worse than the disease. Hope fully it doesn't become too damaging.

    And as important , that some lessons are learned and applied. from the what led to the spill to affects of cleanup, etc.

    tybird, I totally misunderstood. My bad and my sincere apology.

    We seem to be getting an increase in Humming birds also, especially Anna's. I love them but the other day there were so many I told my wife, "Look at all those giant mosquitoes outside!" She loves to put out bird feeders. I've often heard it said that it's better to let them fend for themselves naturally. What's your take on that?
    Putting feeders out, especially for the hummingbirds, is a sound practice. There almost can never be too much for them to eat in a given environment. Habitat loss also means that native flowering plants are also becoming harder for the birds to locate, thus additional food sources are a blessing.

    Good to know. Thanks!

    Why don't you tell that to the parents of the millions of dead children that died from Malaria in Africa and other 3rd world countries. Fuck Rachel Carson ! I hope it's real hot where she is.

    this is the most bizarre thread ...

    OP posts an article celebrating rachel carson which also includes text to debunk the idea that a ban on ddt killed millions of children ... and then later goes on to blast carson for something that is debunked in the article he originally posted ...

    :? :? :fp:

    could it be the OP didn't actually read the article he posted!?? ... :lol:

    Quelle surprise!

    @ satansbed
    At least I admit when I make a mistake. All you seem to do is troll my post and make smart ass comments. Nothing better to do?
