      The Case Of The Missing Bees

      Posted by Orato

      About a third of our diet comes from food that needs some form of pollination, most of which is done by insects. There are birds and butterflies that pollinate as well, but honeybees comprise the vast majority of pollinators. Without them, we wouldn’t get apples, almonds and blueberries, for example. About 25 per cent of America's bee population has gone missing.

    • Virginia Tech And Personal Responsibility

      Posted by Orato

      I hate hand-guns. Shot-guns are made for hunting game (wild animals), which is necessary to help keep populations in check to prevent over-population, which can cause serious eco-damage, including leading to the extinction of numerous different species.

    • America Fails Its Children Yet Again

      Posted by Orato

      The appalling Virginia Tech killings reveal that for all of its billions spent on "Homeland Security," the safety of the students and faculty at Virginia Tech was compromised by a system that just doesn't work. 9/11, Katrina, Iraq, and now Virginia Tech.

    • Enron Bosses--Guilty; George Bush--Guilty

      Posted by Damianmann from Alternet

      Lay, who President Bush affectionately referred to as \\"Kenny-boy\\" when the two forged an alliance in the 1990s to advance Bush\\'s political ambitions and Lay\\'s business prospects, contributed $122,500 to Bush\\'s gubernatorial campaigns in Texas. Lay would later explain to a PBS \\"Frontline\\" interviewer that, though he had worked closely with former Texas Governor Ann Richards, the Democrat incumbent who Bush challenged in 1994, he backed the Republican because \\"I was very close to George W.\\"

    • Bush Using Iran to Justify New "Star Wars" Program

      Posted by Damianmann from Truth Out

      The Bush administration is moving to establish a new antimissile site in Europe that would be designed to stop attacks by Iran against the United States and its European allies. The proposed antimissile site is the latest chapter in the long-running saga of the United States missile defense program, which began with President Reagan's expansive vision of a space-based antimissile shield.
