Thanks shooz. Troubling indeed. Global implications. Like Builder pointed out...no bees, means we're gone in 4 years.

I'm cross posting this to gnomunny's Monsanto thread as well.

They've got them off the ground, on a leash only. Programming them to do the job of a pollinator is a long way off. The money spent on this kind of a problem, reminds me of scientists trying to find an alternative cure for cancer, when they know that hash oil already works.

The heuristics have been studied for a while now, almost like they expected the collapse.

Someday, that battery will come......:)

I still prefer REAL bees though.

Thanks shooz, for posting this. There is nothing more important than workers' rights and ending wars except for caring for our environment.

I was just listening to this song and it seems quite fitting here so here you go, a little Jackson Browne:

Since this is obviously not a man-made situation, maybe God decided His natural global warming was not fast enough - since He obviously wants to start over

Ouch. Thank you shooz for post. 'Crime Against Humanity', and 'Crime Against Every Living Thing'.

Yep! Democide. And, slow and painful, at that. Hopefully sooner than later, the populace will understand that it's ok to go and protest against the .01% oligarchs who control these corporations, at the front doors of their homes.

Only when they are uncomfortable, will they stop.

Well said. It did not have to be this way. The .01% could have used their power to do good, but chose to do wrong.

The "Reign Of Terror" began, because people could not afford flour.

Yes......we do.

WE now know many of the culprits, but we are NOT acting against them.

Truly a sad situation - when as long as you can line a politicians pocket - they will let you destroy the planet - one way or another doesn't matter.

'Corporate War Of Aggression' reaches new low. Incorporation, has cursed the world. Either corporations end, or the world ends.

The world will end if the corp(se)oRations are not subdued. Truth. Funny thing is - If they were run properly - they could save the earth - but they are not and will not - not until they are made to. So either they are ended or they are subdued.
