Click around on the "mutation" links.
Want to grow some of this canola?
=======================================
Might be radiation all the way to Nebraska, but farm, drilling, or industrial runoff just as likely.

Altho not the best example of un contradictory behavior by the link author, at least it might help some here.

Thank you! I have a buddy from Alabama in the next office. Over the next few days I will ask a few questions (gently, carefully) and see what I can find out. If I find anything interesting, I will report back.

Thanks to you too! I hope to look into this some over the weekend. It is sad...really...but our curiosity doesn't make it sadder. If we think about it, we have the one around Russia in recovery, and researchers are going in more frequently now to see how living creatures faired, and now we have this. It is possible the one in the old USSR can give us a clue about the longer term, but Japan can give us clues about the short and medium term we were unable (mostly) to hear about in the former USSR case.

It goes like this, regarding belief:
We believe that if you don't believe what we believe the way we believe it then we believe we have to kill you.
Works for almost any group hating another.
Note to rob:
Of course I believe man is capable of changing things on earth. Small things up to really big things. Frequently in the name of making something better things are made worse. English sparrows imported to kill off some moth. They did and now we are inundated with sparrows. Exotic species in Hawaii wiping out indigenous species. Exotic pet snakes multiplying exponentially in the swamps of the southeast.
Nearly every time someone has tried to make things better they didn't. I am apprehensive regarding BIG expensive plans to make things better. Reducing pollution and deforestation are a couple areas where we could use some sanity before we poison ourselves even more.
Unfortunately the main problem is TOO MANY PEOPLE and we are wired to be fruitful and multiply so as to make it worse. With reasonable population densities we might have time to implement low impact gradual changes to improve our situation in an evolutionary instead of revolutionary high impact manner. Civil discourse on these topics is not a trivial undertaking for several reasons.
There will be a resolution of many of our problems, responsible and well planned or wrought by natural forces like famine, sickness, and war.
There is a humorous yachting concept called a spreader (not referring to rigging of a sailboat.) A person standing with one foot on the dock and one foot on the departing boat. Vocal protestations not withstanding the "spreader" will either end up on the boat, on the dock, or in the water. Non decision is a decision. Doing nothing is a choice but the outcomes are limited and no amount of shouting will effect a change beyond the three possible outcomes. Delay in making a decision is itself a decision leading to a limited set of outcomes.

No one with older fridges will be able to use them at night or check what's cooking in their ovens..... ever again after incandescents are no longer in production.
Does this make sense to you?

We address pollution, that's a must, we're killing our selves, the guy already fell in the water, he's drowning.

No. If you had information to convey, why try to leave the listener confused about what your are trying to say?
