As if the huge Rodeo-Chediski fires weren't enough to obliterate the Arizona ponderosa pine forest,along comes an even more insidious threat.The pine bark...
Natures way is to strive to reach a successional climax. Most pine type forests maintain their climax state through fire. This fire is needed if there is to be...

Hey folks, just saw this movie last night, and I have a few questions for the Academy. Why was this film only nominated for Best Documentary? It is a shoe-in...
Is this the same Michael Moore who thanked the French IN FRANCE for telling the US we are wrong to go to war against a brutal tyrant who enslaves his own...
... If the community of nations (the U.N.) decides to take such an action, it is one thing. If it is one country which decides unilaterally to do so, it is...
Hey Bub; The war is not to vanquish a tyrant but a taxpayer-funded mercenary action on behalf of the oil companies (just like the first failed Bush war). If...
If,as you say,this is about proping up the oil companies,then why did the US not take the oil fields during the first excursion into the gulf? Agreed,there are...
