Not With A Bang

An interesting (although unfortunately truncated) segment from Bill Maher with actress Ellen Page on disappearing bees and the consequences.



Here's the trailer for the documentary Vanishing of the Bees.

Not much scares me. This does. It scares me because I know that instead of focusing on fixing the problem, our government will dither around and try to please everyone (read "the major corporations involved") and do nothing, or do too little too late. I doubt that the bees have much of a lobby in Washington -- or any other capital -- and not a lot of money to throw around. The makers of pesticides do.

Of course, maybe some Teabagger will come up with a compromise solution to this and our immigration "problem" -- we'll allow all the illegal immigrants to stay so they can hand-pollinate our crops.

Good luck with that.
