  • that's funny...nope ...

    that's funny...nope: I studied at UM, attended courses at the Flathead Lake Biological Station, worked for FWP on native fisheries. and you might have seen me on the OLN capturing calfelk...but why should I have to defend myself to the likes of you? so, dismiss me, close your ears and hear only what interest groups want you to hear. Goathead! send them money to keep the misinformation propaganda machine rolling...lock up more area and allow only the rich and scientists access: sounds elitist.

    The fact that you have such difficulty putting together one grammatically and mechanically correct paragraph tells me enough about your education level to dismiss every argument you can make as nothing less than ignorant and uninformed.

  • Knee jerK? I found ...

    Knee jerK? I found several "problems" w/the science and conclusions putforth in the complete TV show. "There are so many mysteries..." 1, were all horseshoe crab mortalities linked to fisherman? Lab-morts can be over 90% during stressful periods. 2, bird migration was poorly understood or not enough effort was used to cover the size of landing sites the size of MT over two continents. 3, So if one crab has 10, and 10 carbs have 100, if we have to wait one generation, why expose the eggs?
