Thought I saw something earlier today about GM and the decline in Monarchs. I guess running head on into a GM car would put and end to you. Oh, the other GM.

Ethanol produced from food is one of the worst ides the liberals ever came up with. And to top it off, they made it a mandate to include it in gasoline AND the federal government pays the produces 50 cents per gallon to produce it.

Wonderful - here we go again. Lived in California in the early 90’s and that’s all we talked about back then too.

Butterflies? Ain’t nobody got time for dat.

We are to busy saving salamanders, newts, and endangered insects from the once lush breadbasket in California to the swamps in Louisiana. We got desert tortoise dying of cattle farts, REAL crisis stuff going on. There is a beetle in Arizona that they recently discovered, the only one of its kind. It’s now endangered because the scientists had to dissect it to make sure it had never before been discovered. Hell, it might be extinct now.

Certainly the causes are global warming caused by CO2 “pollution” and cow farts, rising sea levels and of course George Bush.

I believe that Roundup kills milkweed. GM corn and soybeans, among others are roundup resistant, so spraying with roundup has become a standard farming practice. That’s what keeps my Coop busy.

Of all the claims made by environmental alarmists, the decline of certain kinds of butterflies is the only one that I’ve actually noticed with my own eyes. I saw a monarch in my yard a couple of days ago, fluttering around the Daphne shrubs. It was the first I’ve seen this year. In my youth, they were an everyday occurrence. Another type I rarely see anymore is one we used to call “swallowtails,” large yellow-and-black butterflies. Haven’t seen one yet this year, last year I saw maybe three or four. Back in the 50s and 60s, I would see them every day during the summer.

Or whole swarms of them running into the endless obstacles of industrial wind turbines strategically placed on their migratory routes.

I sorta remember Homer Simpson went back in time and squash a Monarch butterfly and changed history.
