A lot of birds from that region travel along the eastern seaboard, all the way up to places like Newfoundland during the spring. For many people in Newfoundland, the economy has been in shambles due to the collapse of the cod fishery which ironically, died off because people thought it was all about the money, and didn't think conservation, social responsibility and quota's were worthwhile until it was too late. Because so many fish were caught, and even with a moratorium put in place afterwards, the fish has never recovered. Because so much diversity was wiped out, the population has stayed level, and hasn't increased. This will likely be the case with the BP spill; forget calculating the numerical losses, and just try and count how many genes and evolutionary traits were wiped out in one fell swoop. That's what's so dangerous about these things. So now many people in Nfld, and the Maritimes rely on 'eco-tourism,' yet with this spill jeopardizing those populations of birds like Gannet's that people pay to see, fisherman who've already adapted to their situation once, will likely have to do it again which may depress the region even further. That's even if they can adapt... even Wal-Mart can't employ them all. If you start treating critters as mere tallies of some corporate bottom line, what does that say about how you treat (or will end up treating) human beings?

That's not conservatism, liberalism, or neo-liberalism. That's lunacy.

Rewriting textbooks in order to revise history to suit an agenda? Gee, that sounds an awful lot like something Iran, Syria, North Korea or Saudi Arabia would do. Oh, but they're the bad guys. What scares me most is that Texas is a huge textbook market, so publishers will likely institute the changes nationwide instead of having two tiers.

Ending a school district's reliance on corporate profits that are generated by selling children disgustingly unhealthy food and drink is a bad idea?

I was a few months shy of going to preschool.

Eeeh, I suppose it is corporatism to an extent. Fortunately, that's not a terribly big deal in Canada compared to the US. In fact, during your prohibition, our provincial governments nationalized liquor distribution, which is still maintained today. It was deemed easier to manage, and generated profits. Heck, our federal government already grows marijuana for medicinal purposes; the seized goods could be used to set up a state-owned Crown Corporation for all I care; just get the situation under control, and make some money off of what amounts to be my province's second largest industry. The RCMP already raids houses that are deemed to be grow-ops. The only real difference here is that the people of Canada, and tobacco/liquor corporations would stand to benefit financially, instead of the police showing off their spoils on TV and then burning it, or smoking it themselves.

I support legalization, if only for tax revenues. Ideally, corporations like Philip Morris will be the ones owning the market, as it'll be easier to regulate, like tobacco and alcohol. The problem with pot is that growers and dealers will mix other drugs like PCP and ecstasy into the stuff making it very dangerous, and addictive. Additionally, the strains today are very strong. Of course, I live in the pot capital of North America, so this may not be the case elsewhere. If this were to be implemented in my neck of the woods, the 'plan' I envision would be to raid every corner of the province, and take away the plants from growers while they are still illegal. Just make it a huge, massive, coordinated RCMP romp into every house with a big Hydro bill. Then, the best strains and plants would be auctioned off by the government to Big Tobacco, which would generate huge amounts of profits for the government coffers. It'll stunt 'private' growers, and the companies can get their product onto liquor store shelves complete with ample taxes on top of the 'cigs'. They may even find a way to get rid of the awful stench that comes with smoking it. This is a huge financial windfall waiting to happen. It will put an end to a lot of petty criminals, and it may even curb the use of pot as well; it'll be easier to highlight the risks associated with its use, and people will be more willing to come forward admitting that they may have a problem.

A challenger appears.

Actually, if one is stopping for over ten seconds, it's better to turn off the vehicle because it will use less fuel, and emit fewer emissions. However, it's not encouraged by our governments because it's not very practical, not everyone's car starts up immediately, and it can be pretty dangerous if someone's vehicle is immobile on the road.

I love the license plate.

Dude that game is horrible. Save yourself the bandwidth, and the pain of playing against dozens of cheaters who also happen to be Brazilian.

I'd heartily recommend the GOTY edition, especially for 'Point Lookout.' 'The Pitt' I wasn't as happy about, but PL is a real good ride, with quite a bit of loot you'll want to haul back to the D.C. Wasteland, and a storyline that gets very creepy. You'll want to get play Broken Steel first and get your character to a level in the 20's or you're going to be Ghoul food.

I want the one with the bigger GEEBEES. lol! Shame the poor guy got fired over this, because it really is the truth.

Those 'Miracle Whip' advertisements filled with hipsters that try to portray a sandwich spread as something edgy and slightly anti-establishment.

Happy Birthday to JamesBond! A birthday so secret, we almost didn't catch it!

Fallout 3 is an awesome game if you're even remotely into RPG's. The DLC's are also really worthwhile, but at 10 bucks a pop or so, they do get expensive. If you enjoy Fallout, you might also like the Mass Effect series. Other games worth checking out on eBay are: Just Cause 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Red Dead Redemption. Even if you're not into Batman much, the game is still a huge amount of fun. Both it, and JC2 should be relatively cheap finds because they're both single player only.

That has to be the least ergonomic dash in the history of man...

Happy Birthday!

She looks like she charges more than 16K a ride. :/
