I am amazed that anyone believe this freaking lie.
EVERYTHING is now an advertisement in favor of government.
ALWAYS disbelieve stories that back regulation and Policing.
Good point. Not only that but we are bombarded by endless numbers of public service announcements touting the virtues and benefits of all manner of gubment programs.
FWIW, the emerald ash borer is native to eastern Russia, northern China, Japan, and Korea. Before June of 2002, it had never been found in North America. It has almost totally destroyed all the ash trees here in southern Michigan........and maybe further north, I'm not sure.
My neighbors have the sole remaining ash tree in my subdivision and that's only because they're treating the root system directly several times a summer with an insecticide......
What the EAB did to our trees is a classic example of the dangers a new imported invasive species can do..............
