The irony being that the media here in the US can't talk about how much they love Obama. Looks like outside the country this is the first one you hear NOTHING about.

You and forests...will it take a countrywide bombing to get you off that topic lol
Yes.
Sorry about it and all that, I am not actually the loony tree hugger it makes me appear...Its been 12 years since I had my eye's opened to this particular unfortunate truth and found myself working for a bunch of criminals who are protected at the highest of levels. It just gets really annoying sometimes that most people don't seem to understand that the flow of recent history is not actually a bunch irrational/disconnected/violent events, but a clear cause and effect chain with a logical progression. Once you know, The Silence becomes deafening.
I just do not agree that the Earths life support mechanism should be subjected to "market forces" in the way that it is being.
I don't really care about the economic impact all this will eventually have on your nation, anyone with an imagination can see how it will eventually cripple an industrial economy, even George Bush could see that! That's why he started his huge attempt to reforest parts of the US. Hows that going by the way? I assumed it would fail.

I wonder how much of that was true, and how much was The Daily Mails vivid imagination.

not only in Colombia - it's the drug they use in 'voodoo' in Haiti to turn people into 'zombies'.

They got its toxicity nailed down right, but there is nothing to prove it can be used as the article suggests. It's actually used to treat motion sickness.

Or skip the movie...it's terrible. Read the book instead.

It was written by Wade Davis. He also has another good book called One River. Well most of it is good... I remember getting bored with it near the end.

Of course, and absolutly everyone in the party is to gather around a very offputting, dividing candidate that appeals only to a small core of people when the campaign is focused on winning moderates?

Paul is a respectable man, but some of his views are dangerous and polarizing. The key message for this election is unity, whihc Paul does not give off.

yes, sound money, pulling troops home, smaller gubmint by slashing/eliminating gubmint bureaucracy, non-intervention, etc., certainly does scare a lot of people... :?

Better to have a lying scumball for a leader, than someone who won't lie or try to control every aspect of your life.

Would you mind elaborating on that? I've heard a lot of people say that he's dangerous, but never why.
