About the polar bears and related "protected species"-
Eviro-mentalists always want to protect a species by cordoning off the areas where those animals/plants/ecosystems exist.
At times closing off those places can hurt the things that people try to protect.
Take you neighborhood and put up a fence in a radius of one mile. Nothing comes in or out. When you start to get hungry make do with what is in the area. Soon you'll see that it cannot be done.
The largest animals will take over, for a while. Because they are top o' the food chain they will dominate until the smaller prey are eliminated. Birth rates go up -no one to keep their numbers in check- until the land cannot support them. Nature reverses course, birth rates go down as well as the size of the larger animals. They die off because of lack of food, then the smaller animals-who were not part of the happy meals, start to overpopulate-and what does that do?
IT tosses the whole ball of wax out of kilter and defeats the reasons we wanted those areas kept pristine.

IT's the same arguement about what is taught in school.
We only teach what WE want to the kids. THe biggest farce are the hot heads who think that a 'little god' in the curriculum will ruin the planet.
So what? The kids that have a problem with it are the same ones that are brought up to be intolerant slugs by their parents.
The same unyielding AHs who will take the country to task about the words "In God We Trust" on our currency. Again, IF IT BOTHERS YOU DON'T USE IT, write checks or go find a country where the bills have 8 zeroes after the ones!
Parents try to protect their kids from god in the classroom and our bills and coins but have no problems with a cable box with porn channels in their bedrooms, never bother to find out that biatches hoes and G's live inside their iPods and mp3s and that kids are having more sex and less babies because we have to give them classes on birth control!
We all want freedom of mind and speech until we hear an opposing view, then we shout that person down, exercising our right-and stomping the living crap out of theirs - to have an opinion.
IT really is time to get over our bad selves.
There are times I do wish we lived in China, Venezuela or Cuba. That way we would only have a few opinions and we wouldn't waste our time on stupid arguements like Bears, pregnancy and god.
Oh about Ellen and PORTIA, They can afford the best healthcare possible-
It's the poor gay couple that can't hire nannies, fly first class or live in houses that are worth more than the GNP of some nations, that need help.
That's another fallacy we have.
The F.N. morons like Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Neil Young and Michael Moore can bash the U.S. and it's policies, but when we take them to task for what they say WE CAN'T USE OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
IT's oh-so-easy to abhor another person's beliefs or a government's stand on things until we look a little farther into our own world. Then we start making excuses.
