No wonder the fish around my house always seem ‘drunk’!
Great. Metrosexual fish.
Well I have heard all my life not to drink the water because fish have sex in it. :)
Come to think of it, drinking birth-control-laden tap water may explain the explosion in the number of liberal girly-men over the past 40 years.
I wonder if this is the cause of the more recent explosion of metrosexual / girlyman / GLBT / no-spine / no-balls / crap we’ve had to put up with. I wonder if this is why there seems to be hardly any “real men” anymore.
As nonviolence coordinator for the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center, Betty Ball has taken to the streets with signs in protest of genetically modified crops."Nonviolence coordinator"? Unbelievable. This woman needs to get a life.
I need to hit refresh before posting. Great minds...
Or perhaps there is a link to the supposed decline in male fertility, with sperm counts decreasing markedly in the past several decades. That is the report, at least, whether that is actually true or not, well, I don’t count sperm.
Good point, and the overload of soy in food products has also been named as a possible culprit. Couple the two, and that could create a potential disaster.
I'm having a little trouble with hormone residue reaching fish streams, though. Is every female in CO on some type of birth control pill or patch?
We must ban birth control pills. For the Children!
;-)
Municipal wastewater (yep, the stuff that we flush every day) can be cleaned of natural biological organisms to a remarkable degree -- actually to the point that it could be cycled back into the fresh water system and be perfectly safe to drink. But there is (as of now) no way to breakdown the complex chemicals excreted by humans as a result of wide spread pharmaceutical use, including birth control pills.
When you concentrate that effluent into a closed body of water, it is understandable that the concentration of those chemicals can have effects which is why we are not recycling water.
“...scientists are “finding the presence of female hormones making the male species less male...”
Prime example of this is the Republicans in Congress; no gonads; no backbone. They must be drinking water from this river.
Soy also has compounds that mimic estrogen and is everywhere in processed food.
The islamofascists need only be patient, what with all the soy consumed in this country and the estrogens in the urban water supplies, the American male population will eventually all become like Dennis Kucinich.
Actually these gender-bender fish have also been found in tributaries of the Potomac.
Did not know that about soy, but I think the article said that the fish downstream from decontamination plants showed the problems — not in “fish streams” which are supposedly up stream.
This is a data point we all need to watch for.
I am in Mexico at present, so I do not drink the tap water at all. I don’t necessarily feel more manly than when I lived in en Los Estados Unidos. But the chicas are pretty here.

When the story of his finding hit Denver and Boulder newspapers, Norris anticipated an immediate response from environmentalists, who define the politics of Boulder and are known to picket in the streets demanding ends to questionable farming practices, global warming and pesticide treatments.
To the professor’s surprise, however, the hormone story was mostly ignored.
Two years later, environmental groups have failed to take up the cause of saving Boulder Creek and its fish from hormone pollution.

Proving yet again that the Left is not honest about the things they say they care about.
I’m assuming they’ve both detected and measured the levels of these hormones in the water.
