I don't believe the fireworks theory.

More dead birds http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/112843019.html

More dead fish in Brazil http://translate.google.com/translat...ITORAL&act=url

Seems hard to believe that these are not somehow all related in some way and the direct result of direct intervention of man. Terrorists? A Government?

it's called, we don't really have anything better to report on right now.

Could be. Could also be "yes we know but let's not panic the masses. Let's put our heads together and contrive a story".

The Date on the Brazil link to me seems a tad questionable

But other then that I am with you

I'm thinking a controlled fish kill got out of hand and when the birds eat the dead fish...dead bird.

I wouldn't eat any dead birds you see laying around.

Dead fish happen every other year in the winter here. Low oxygen in the winter time water kills hundreds!

If you happen to live on a dead end bayou when this happens, it is noooo fun!

I think that is good advice pretty much all the time!

newspaper had a picture of an EPA official with a chem suit and full respirator on (blacked out face shield) He was collecting birds off of a roof. The story went on to explain about fireworks killing the birds.


um why does he need all that protection from a bird that died of shock?

You got that right. I think it is similar to the the mandatory evacuation of a neighborhood for several blocks around if someone finds what appears to be a small hand grenade. The very effective AM61 Fragmentation grenade has a killing radius of 5 meters and a casualty producing radius (50% injury rate) of 15 meters with 5 ounces of explosive.

Now all they would have to do is park their cruisers around the grenade and there would be no danger at all to anyone say 40 or 50 feet away much less in their house. But no they make a big deal out of it. Or the evacuation of a large building on the same scenario.

I did the demo for my unit in Nam. Had the training and I know what I am talking about here. Just get sick at all the over blown BS when there is a suspicious small explosive found. Thank you, thank you very much

The worry is there is more to the story than we are being informed of, rather than a PC over-reaction.

Hmm, did not look at the date. Perhaps you stumbled upon something....it might just be time traveling aliens.

For protection of the employee and SHOW!
