It's the Japanese green atomic salsa from hell! One good thing is that your little tube will probably last a long time. It's very cost effective and gives you a lot of bang for the buck.
FReepmail me to be added or removed to the ECO-PING list!
Ecological problems rarely have simple solutions (i.e. save the forests- save the owls). Instead of preserving a museum forest, you need to ensure that that landscape is allowed to change and adjust. It amazes me how short-sighted people can be.
....probably Mexico is the host of the S/S/O.
Scoop Jackson would have never let the owl kill the forest industry.
Now they talk about preserving rat nests for spotted owls and you don't see that as a premise to prevent construction and retain dangerous levels of fuel near houses.
This isn't a Rush common sense moment at all. The brush in Marin is so thick that the owls don't have flyways to catch those rats. There's a balance that has never occurred to these idiots.
I thin the brush and use travel routes as owl flyways with tall trees at the corners, both of which they need. Rat nests go up in flames like a gallon of diesel so I leave only those that aren't under a tree. I've also added a barn owl box to see if I can get those re-established. It's become so wooded around here because of fire suppression that the great horned owls have chased out the barn owls completely.
It's a complicated balance all righty.
Rush can be incredible naive when it comes to environmental issues. It can be pretty frustrating at times when he goes off on his anti-environment(alist) tirades- a bit too reactionary for my taste.
For more reasons than you probably intended. He not only under-estimates the problems we face, he really doesn't get the depth of corruption involved either.
For example, it has been obvious that the greenie lawyers have been trying to kill barge traffic on the Mississippi for years. This carp makes a handy vehicle while Lloyd Bensten has organized a consortium to invest ag dollars in South America and is funding green groups with the intent of harming domestic ag production.
