World's Plant Life Far Less Diverse Than Thought
Meshach writes "A report out of FOX News (I know, I know) says that there are far fewer unique species of plants than previously thought. The report states that only about a third of named species are actually unique. The rest have been 'discovered' multiple times, often by separate scientists."
Or they think that given the choice between watching shitty, sensationalist, biased as hell news that paints them as assholes for not agreeing with their agenda and watching shitty, sensationalist, biased as hell news that doesn't, they'll take the latter.
I know it may come as a shock to some but most people in the US aren't liberals.
Personally, I'm waiting for a news channel that caters to fascist libertarians* like me.
* Characterized by an absolute ruler who: A) Takes great pleasure in ordering public torture and execution of any group (governmental, commercial, or grass roots) or individual violating the individual liberty of any citizen. B) Enjoys finding creative ways of humiliating parliamentary members who try to pass bad, unnecessary, repressive, or otherwise retarded laws. C) Is otherwise content to get paid huge sums of money to sit around and do fuck all.
Violence is like duct tape. If it doesn't solve the problem, you didn't use enough.
That pretty much describes everybody on slashdot - a few far right, a shitload far left, and almost none in the middle.
