The problem is persistent pesticides not directly transportation per se. Colony collapse was happening in other countries and populations recovered after Bayer's gaucho was pulled from pollinating farms.
I made a presentation to the Pesticide Advisory Committee of Prince Edward Island regarding the use of imidacloprid on potato fields here and it gathered a lot of media coverage. It was the first story on our local news on TV, and both radio stations mentioned it throughout the day in their newscasts. I had produced a graphStan.gif (7651 bytes) which showed use and accumulation on PEI and held it up under my head throughout the whole news interview after my presentation, but it was NOT shown on TV because the lawyers at CBC (our national public television station) head office did not stand up to the lawyers from the Bayer company. Our newspaper has said that it will publish the graph. I will ask Allen if he might put it on his wonderful imidacloprid website.
Free trade probably prohibits any action that may harm Bayers profits in the US an the UK, even though it will decimate our food production.
Canada sells Asbestos, even though it's illegal here. When companies complain, we invoke free trade laws. Damned if I know why it's still illegal here, other than the fact that it kills people.
My theory on the truck crashes is that they all happened while trying to sneak past BP stations.
As far as I'm concerned you can be Muslim, Jewish, Christian whatever, makes no difference to me. You're an idiot for believing in whatever of religious crap.
The causes of World War I, which began in central Europe in July 1914, included many intertwined factors, such as the conflicts and hostility of the four decades leading up to the war. Militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism played major roles in the conflict as well. However, the immediate origins of the war lay in the decisions taken by statesmen and generals during the July Crisis of 1914, casus belli for which was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife by Gavrilo Princip, an irredentist Serb.[1]
The crisis came after a long and difficult series of diplomatic clashes between the Great Powers (Italy, France, Germany, Great Britain, Austria-Hungarian Empire and Russia) over European and colonial issues in the decade before 1914 that had left tensions high. In turn these diplomatic clashes can be traced to changes in the balance of power in Europe since 1867.[2] The more immediate cause for the war was tensions over territory in the Balkans. Austria-Hungary competed with Serbia and Russia for territory and influence in the region and they pulled the rest of the Great Powers into the conflict through their various alliances and treaties.
The topic of the causes of World War I is one of the most studied in all of world history. Scholars have differed significantly in their interpretations of the event.
I was taught that it was started by the assassination. YMMD.
If GWB or Obama had waged war on Britain or Canada without extremely good cause, for example, it simply would not have worked. The collective establishment would have been like "WTF?"
So, starting war against the whole world wouldn't work. Which is effectively what would happen if you openly invaded Canada or Europe. So there are limits to what one nutcase can do. (But they can do things like starting a land war in Asia, or going up against a Sicilian when death is on the line. ) Or murdering their own citizens without even charging them with anything. You know you are a bad man when Dick Cheney is sticking up for you.
There was the Russian General who refused to launch his missiles when his system told him WW3 had started, and the Czar who let World War I start after he was begged to stop and think--though IIRC, he delayed it for a day or two.
Every schoolboy knows (or used to) that WWI was started by an assasniation
We have some lovely land available, on top of the Hayward Fault. It usually just creeps along, so if they build the factory on wheels it would be OK %)
Nah, it's OK. I'm not embarrassed to say that I rip off humour. It's still funny.
Mind you it is a little embarrassing to get caught ripping off Steve Martin.
Why else do you think both of them are manic about trying to get you to "validate" your account with a phone number?
Manic is a good choice of words.
Google: You should give us your phone number. (for the 12th time)
Me: Fuck off and quit asking me for my damned phone number you fucking asshats! You aren't getting it! !@$#%^%%$@#%$
Apparently I fail at using who's/whose. My apologies to the grammar nazis.
It's not really something you need to apologize for, it makes what you write a little difficult to read.
It's more of a detriment to you than anyone else. Assuming you put it there to be understood and not as bait for "grammar nazi's"
Then you shouldn't eat fruit gums either. The citric acid in use there is basically nothing but concentrated lemon juice, but concentrated to a point where you wouldn't want to handle it without protective goggles and rubber gloves.

Maybe you should go choose a militaristic state that wants to push it's agenda world wide...
ROFL!

what do you teach high school students about sewage networks?

single-handedly bring the battle against the Judeo-Capitalist at Google, and ultimately lost his life.

Keep repeating a myth and people believe it. Apple did not steal from Xerox. Apple was already developing a GUI back in the late '70s.
You are incorrect.
Can't make a phone, AAPL thought of it first?
Like the GUI and everything else, and Disney invented Snow White. It's all bullshit.
+1
Good, we have the evidence, and what have we done with it?
Nothing, of course.
At least we can point at it and call it bullshit. They'll still deny it, but we "know" that it is. That is worth something.
The assassination was the excused to put everything in motion.
was not.
WW1 was started by the results of the Franco-Prussian war.

You don't need everyone to be a warmonger. One nutcase in the wrong job will do it.
Like GWB, or Obama.

Isn't that where they put the nuclear reactors?

oops.
Centurion!
We were told that we would be crucified in an area where there were no MikeB0lton!
you're an idiot.
LOL!
I don't think you're qualified to make that judgement, I was more or less agreeing with you.
Is that you, Steve Martin*?
* Thought nobody would remember, eh Tsingi? http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/s/stevemarti163457.html

you create a service that does the exact same thing to facebook that they are doing to you.
ROFL!
Let's see how long it would take them to sue you for using their data. That would be an interesting case.
Because ignorance and refusal to follow simple rules of grammar are just as inborn and innate as one's race or sexuality.
But how about those French people?
They use a different word for EVERYTHING!

That and they get stuck in my teeth.
Having a shower makes it worse.
After about 4 hours of intense pain (YMMD) it gets to feeling kinda kinky.
It's always been a mystery to me why I can eat and enjoy something so toxic that I have to wear rubber gloves to prepare them.
