"We're doomed I tell ye doomed" is a mesage type seen often on blogs. It gets the point across.
The basic premise is that there are undoubtedly serious problems in US commercial set-ups that have been exacerbated by commercial pressures. A trickle down effect can't be ignored.
We've seen this in other reports on TV and in newspapers.
One would have to wonder about a subliminal "green" agenda.

Clothianidin in currently being used on about 940,000 acres of crops in the UK - while in America it is being used on about 88 million acres of corn alone.

Ask an Environmental Scientist....
Change or substitute just one atom of hydrogen or carbon in one of the plethora of these systemic insecticides and you have another one chemically different but possibly as effective .................and not on the banned list.
Multimilliondollar chemical producers realistically just want to sell sell sell!
"Seaweed likely has a big future"........ with seawater acidification and all the "icides" in rainwater run off, not forgetting magnification of radioactive isotopes from the seawater, now entering our atmosphere from Japan, North Korea, and any other nation going nuclear........................
Silent Spring II .... The revenge of the doomed..........
(ICI did not just make paint!!!)
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE ?
