#2 But if it's bad:
1) it's Bush's fault
2) If not Bush, then the US did it
3) If not the US, then it's Global Warming
4) If not Global Warming, then the Illuminati
5) If not the Illuminati, then, uh, um, er... Natural Causes?

Naw, couldn't be natural. There's no money in that.

#11 Actually, this is a realistic concern.

Earthworms became extinct in the Americas during the ice ages (I'm not sure which one), and so the flora and fauna here evolved to live in a world where the plant matter breaks down significantly more slowly than in earthworm country. Thus there is a serious threat to, eg, ground nesting woodland birds, herbaceous woodland plants which require a thick mulch of slowly composting leaves, etc. Earthworm castings do enrich the soil, and earthworm tunnels do soften the ground, but in their wake the land is relatively bare, and ripe for invasion from foreign pests.

Unfortunately, the problem is unfixable -- earthworm eggs were likely brought over inadvertently during the earliest colonization efforts. We can only hope native animals/plants evolve quickly enough to survive the change.

Bildeberg? Freemasons?

Tinfoil hats must be realigned every 5,000 miles, you know...

#17 Great jokes, everyone.

But trailing wife is correct. Dead forests can be a serious problem, negatively affecting other systems. Take the pine beetle infestation in the Rocky Mountains, for example.

P.S. Raj--By all means, leave the tinfoil hats for the conspiracy obsessed, but I think the Bildeberg political aims/ideology may bear some scrutiny. Freemasons are simply "Baal" worshipers, and occupy the lower rungs in occultist religion.

#19 Wise move, Mucky. I guessed, together with the rest of those relatively sane in the UK, that David Icke was 'full of shit' back in '91 when he went from straight-laced TV sports presenter one week to self-proclaimed 'son of the godhead', in front of a national audience on a live evening chat show, the next.
