History and Science

It’s taken a long time but soon we may be able to get better insight into the link between early Jamestown settlers and England.

For those of you worried about the Hubble telescope falling to earth soon, it looks like it may get a one year lease on life.

The report comes from Berkley.  The finding took place in China.  I just do not know if I can believe a “bear-dog” existed.

It’s all about credibility, eh?

For the sake of animals we sacrifice humans.  And animal rights assholes like PETA and Audubon society clap thunderously.

Read this for a better insight into the real dangers of NOT using DDT.

Here’s a snippet:

Although some birds declined before DDT, they became much more abundant during the years of greatest DDT-use. But facts have not impeded the endless repetition of Carson’s bird myth.

Or this:

One experimenter, to demonstrate eggshell-thinning, fed quail a diet with DDT but containing only one-fifth of the normal amount of calcium. His experiment succeeded in producing thinner eggshells, but his deception was exposed.

More?  How about this:

THE BROWN PELICAN AND the peregrine falcon did suffer declines in population, but not because of DDT, according to Professor Edwards’s article, “DDT Effects on Bird Abundance and Reproduction.”

Brown pelicans suffered, not from fish they ate but from their catastrophic reproductive failure caused by the great Santa Barbara oil spill surrounding their nesting colonies on the island of Anacapa. Federal and California officials ignored the oil spill and attributed pelican difficulties “solely to DDT in the environment.”

In Texas, peregrine falcons declined from 5,000 in 1918 to 200 in 1941, three years before DDT. Around the Gulf of Mexico, they declined from 1918 to 1934 by 82 percent, but the 1935 survey was done 15 years before any DDT appeared.

Likewise, in the East, peregrine falcons declined long before there was any DDT present there, because of egg-collectors and falconers. Falconers “raided every nest they could find” and shot falcons on sight.

Junk science. pure junk science.  Rachel Carson should be exhumed and her remains fed to bald eagles.  Her followers should be rounded up, sterilized and have a restraining order clapped on their asses to keep them from spreading their lies. 

You’ll excuse me while I go dust the waterway behind my house with some that I bought at a garage sale a couple of years ago.

Imagine yourself frozen for 32,000 and then getting warmed back up again---to discover you still live!!

Now imagine yourself a bacteria.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
