Crap, now you got me on a damn soapbox. Really, it's probably this damned coffee.
Right after high school I went to the New York State College of Environmental Studies at Syracuse University. Man that's a mouthful for such a small place. They were talking back then that one of the biggest challenges to the environment in the future would be depletion of the wetlands. Largely because so many unique species live in them. They are building a huge-ass airport right in a swamp. Almost 30 years after they were talking how that was bad. Huh?
I don't know how many people actually read that article in yesterday's USA Today about mercury levels. But it points exactly to how our former oilman pro-big business/money/power president has taken us. Mercury levels in the environment actually increased from 2000-2005. We've known for a long time that shit is bad. Why do we shit where we eat? Cause profits get hurt. Profits don't mean much to dead people. We just gotta quit raping mother earth. We're just killing ourselves.
