I started to read this article, but I couldn’t get past the turtles “marinating” in mayonnaise. If it weren’t for the oil, it might sound tasty.

Story: Another weapon to fight invasive mussels
Nostral-damus said:
I support the mussels. After all, this is change, and we’re supposed to believe in change. Furthermore, for a species which is freely expressing itself, calling it “invasive” is xenophobic. What the EPA is trying to accomplish with Zequanox is tantamount to genocide. Suppose that dolphins were clogging pipes. Would people try to exterminate dolphins? I don’t think so.
Story: Proposal would exempt some road projects from wetlands requirement

It would also be cost effective to kill all other organisms once and for all anyway. Streamlined, human-ruled planet. Let’s just keep all those little annoying budget-problems like animals, plants, life-sustaining nutrient recycling wetland soils out of the way, eh? Wetlands probably don’t matter… just some muck. Budgets come first before fresh air and clean water, always. Who cares that wetlands store the world’s fresh surface water resources. Although just 0.01% of all the water of our planet, it is crucial for our survival. Nbd… wetlands store more carbon than twice the amount in all the world forests. Loosing wetlands would cause a climate disaster due to carbon releases, but who really cares?
