Another Pretty Thing Dead On The End Of The Shaft Of The Zen Archer

Barring medical advances I doubt if I have (or want) more than 20 yrs. (max.) left in this world of shit & pain;
now I'm wondering if le déluge will wait until après moi.

   ‘Shocking’ decline in birds across Europe due to pesticide use, say scientists

New figures reveal decline in farmland birds at a 'level approaching an ecological catastrophe'

Remember the bees? The Euros are killing all flying insects now, a contributing factor in the bird decline.

The research comes after scientists warned of an “ecological Armageddon” last year when a study revealed flying insect numbers had plummeted by 75 per cent in Germany.

Scientists say there is an overall decline in European bird numbers, and this is likely the result of the lack of flying insects – a major source of food – which itself is thought to result from the overuse of pesticide.

Stupid jerks poisoned the golden-egg-laying goose for one fucking goose-egg omelet.Sorry, younger people who will be drowning in their own effluvia soon enough; we scraped the planet raw w/ the best of intentions, to make a better world (And maybe a little profit, heh-heh.) for you unfortunate bastards. Funny how, in the course of human events, things always seem to work out like that.
