Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Fuck Monsanto. Fuck people that put weed killer on their lawns. Fuck those who can't appreciate the symbiotic relationship that nature has thrived on for millennia. I love my oil burning 2strokes, coal rolling tire wasting cookie cutting truck, diesel fuel starting bonfire, nature killing 2gph 100mph speed boat, as much as the next guy. But! I'm also okay with doing the New England slap dance, fending off the skeeters without the need to get all chemical warfare on the bastards. Except for ticks, fuck ticks, they can burn in hell! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I pulled one (1) uno tick, off one (1) uno of my dogs this summer. I haven't treated them in years either. (Front line, etc) it's the symbiotic thing I referred to earlier. Works wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friends come over and say, "how do you live with those outside" we don't really notice, truthfully. Nearest neighbor is miles away, so no complaints.

That really has nothing to do with modern climate issues, but mainly it's because the sun hasn't exploded and eaten us up yet. 36 minutes ago, Rod Johnson said: Ooops we have another anti science leftist that denies the climate has always changed That's a false argument. Of course it has always changed. That doesn't negate the fact that humans are contributing to the current changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
