The level of profit (hundreds of billions) at stake is so great that the oil companies will continue to spend millions defending it.

Why don't they just go build magnetic engines/air-powered engines with all that extra dough, (coal industry could just build marine turbines, instead) then sit back, enjoy hugs, kisses, and years of applause? Legacy of good decision-making sure to be appreciated by their own children & grandchildren... I just don't get it...

Check out these 3 related articles (if you like to read/learn!), or AT LEAST READ THE IMPORTANT BITS HERE (I've copied & pasted them below the link to each article. Hope this helps!

Alarming excerpt, "In the new study, Blaise LeBlanc and Gillian Eggleston and colleagues note HFCS’s ubiquitous usage as a sweetener in beverages and processed foods. Some commercial beekeepers also feed it to bees to increase reproduction and honey production. When exposed to warm temperatures, HFCS can form HMF and kill honeybees. Some researchers believe that HMF may be a factor in Colony Collapse Disorder, a mysterious disease that has killed at least one-third of the honeybee population in the United States... Because HFCS is incorporated as a sweetener in many processed foods, the data from this study are important for human health as well,” the report states. It adds that studies have linked HMF to DNA damage in humans. In addition, HMF breaks down in the body to other substances potentially more harmful than HMF."

Important excerpt from above article: "possible mercury contamination of these food chemicals was not common
knowledge within the food industry despite the availability of product specification sheets for mercury-grade caustic soda that clearly indicate the presence of mercury (as well as lead, arsenic and other metals). Upon further investigation, she found mercury contamination in some commercial HFCS,
which can be made from mercury-grade caustic soda.
Through this public scientist’s initiative, the FDA learned that commercial HFCS was contaminated with mercury. The agency has apparently done nothing to inform consumers of this fact, however, or to help change industry practice."

So- Even health-concious people who don't eat HFCS (by choice- but had no idea it was present in "natural honey", and fed it to their chemically sensitive child with developmental disorders (chemically induced) are inadvertantly further poisoning their children's bodies, and destroying their neurological function?!?
WE NEED TRANSPARENCY, ADEQUATE (honest/thorough) food labelling laws, Pass the KSCA (Kid safe chemical act), Overhaul the TSCA (Toxic substances control act), Support the work of EWG (Environmental working group), & Safer chemicals, Healthy families...

I love the Haagen Daaz honey vanilla! I love their website too. If you click on the fields it lets you fly the bee around and you can learn some cool facts about how much the honey bees help and affect our food supply.

I think they should be docked a day's pay for every day they boycott. Don't we elect them to work for us? Are these Senators on Strike now? We shouldn't pay them until they return to work. They are striking "Clean Energy" "Creating Good Jobs" "Lessening our Dependence on Foreign Oil" "Cutting of Money to Terrorists" Shame on them! Get back to work you lazy bums!

Republicans really suck

Absolutely stunning. This is just beautiful - I think I may have been a spatuletail hummingbird in a previous life:)

A very beautiful hummer.

I think boat alarms are a great idea. The manatees do need our help.

Sounds like these boat alarms are a "no brainer" and should be mandatory asap.
