Gone Fission

Eddie writes "Just when you thought it was safe to go back into that snakehead fishpond behind the shopping center in Crofton, Md., now comes word of a new threat slithering into our environment - "nuclear worms" from Vietnam carrying cholera and other deadly diseases." There are a bunch of blurbs here and there about these worms - apparently this Washington Post story was the origin of most of them.

Other non-native imports that have caused problems

[MosesJones]

1) Starlings, imported by a nutter who wanted all the birds from Shakespear in the US.

2) The British, Spanish, French, Germans, Irish etc

3) The not so "Native" Americans (2 millions years ago... I think not)

4) Mammals... 200 million years ago

5) The planet, 10 billion years ago it wasn't there.

Good God, George Bush is the ultimate environmental fundamentalist, he wants to return the planet to its original state... dust :-)
