It looks like agrarian living beats out progressivism again! In the latest news, the mystery of the massive bee die off has been solved. It seems that the culprit is a nuerotoxin fertilizer manufactured by Bayer. Similar die offs have occurred in Germany and France. The culprit is not overpopulation or ‘Mother Earth’ taking revenge, but rather the large industrial corporation forcing its poisonous product on the people.

The culprit is Clothianidin. What is the empires attitude toward this substance? It has established acceptable levels, labeled it a ‘not likely to cause cancer’ since it does not attack a specific organ of the body. It is presently used in sugar beet production. There have been protests in Germany over its use, although here in the empire, little is heard of the substance. This could become a larger issue, in that the substance is also used in treating sweet corn. With all the interest in corn lately, especially with the ethanol, this presents a problem. Does one grow massive amounts of healthy corn to put in their cars or kill off the bees. Of course the corn farmers want more corn use. We need some sanity in dealing with such issues. We need the bees more than we need ethanol. Greed does strange things to people, including making poor choices concerning healthy living.

Free Texas!
