Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

Lucille, do you have any oil/gas wells nearby? Sometimes they vent awful stuff out of the ground (methane, ethane, hydrogen sulfide etc..) Depending on the wind direction, maybe the birds are avoiding the "plume" ?
I hope not.

As far as education, if you will look at population in Utah, there are above average size families at every education level, this may have to do with culture/religion. I think education is a good idea, however, I think that many people here in the US are already paying exorbitant property taxes, much of which goes to the local school districts.

Ok, if you are just in a mood to argue with someone, please leave me out of it. "Open to interpretation" and you automatically go the "me proposing genocide", that isn't realistic or fair.
As far as Utah goes, have you ever been there? I have. A degree from a Siminary University results in about the same level of "education" as possessed by my neighbors here is SC who went to the Babtist Bible College. Furthermore, those statics in Utah are RAPIDLY changing as the milinniall generation separate themselves from the Mormon Church. In fact, those numbers are rapidly changing nation wide due to the under generation separating from religion period. Which many social scientists attribute to them having access to information via the Internet--education.
Earlier, you posted that you hope that the birds return to their normal migratory patterns soon. Am I to take that to mean you hope they die next year because their normal migratory patterns will put them in harms way due to the changed weather patterns? No, I didn't suggest that you were advocating the mass extinction of avian species, because that would be as crazy as..oh, saying I was advocating genocide because I said we need to take overpopulation seriously.

That is a good idea, never thought of it and yes, there are some in the area. My inside birds remained healthy, but perhaps, given a choice if the air was tainted, they might have left. Birds are sensitive to air quality.

That is interesting. Even more so, because of the mention of El Nino and variables in bird population relating to snake predation, could there also be a tie-in between years of lower wild snake population and weather?

Personally, I think it is time for us to just face the facts, that there are just way to many of us living on this planet, and to try to do something about it before we destroy it...but it doesn't seem to be a popular opinion....

Apparently some governments find that war is a handy solution to population issues. Throw some biological warfare into the mix, and problem solved.

It is difficult to know these days whether a disaster is an act of God, or engineered by man.
And sculpting disaster is far more complex than simply population control- war boosts economies, for instance, and funding after a disaster can have political influence.
I certainly think there is much more going on behind the scenes than is evident, and I believe much of it is not in the best interests of the ordinary working person.
