Many problems linked by one theme - degradation of coastal wetlands
~Bob Marshall


Ivor van Heerden punkin' for BP again
~“Research shows these plants will bounce back,” van Heerden said.
~Editilla Hotellas~Oh! What "Research" are you citing here, Ivor?
I know you bought-and-paid-for BP "scientists" are barking this, but all the other "Research" screaming at me says we better get on it and do something or our wetlands Will Not Bounce Back. Which is it, Ivor? Who should we believe?
So then tell me again why are we trying to save the wetlands now?

Spending their golden years behind iron bars~James Gill~Michael Francis Mara, arrested in Baton Rouge last week, is a mere 52. By European standards, he is practically a juvenile delinquent. In Germany, for instance, he would never qualify for the so-called "Opagefaengnis" (Granddad Prison), in Singen.
