Well, since I apparently killed THREE threads I thought I'd better start another!

No, this isn't about the US-Mexcian border. Actually, it's much worse...
Quote:

As scientific adviser to a group of Maine watermen, ecologist Larry Harris had heard his share of stories. But one tale, told to him 2 years ago, proved unforgettable. A fisherman related how he had been hauling up a dredge used to scout for scallops in nearby Cobscook Bay when he snagged something novel: a life form resembling blobs of pancake batter.

In all his decades at sea, the man said, he'd never encountered anything like it...The stuff looked like it might have come from outer space.
It was an alien, all right, but one of Earthly origins....

Harris was fairly certain that the Cobscook encounter signaled bad news: arrival of what he calls "the tunicate from hell." This devilish species' behavior is a biologist's "worst nightmare," says Harris. This sea squirt reproduces rapidly by several means, has no known predator, and grows over and smothers any plant or animal that doesn't make way. ...

Over the past few years, the smothering mats have turned up in coastal waters as distant as those off western Canada, New Zealand, and Holland....

The Didemnum in U.S. waters is like a squirt on steroids. This "beast" grows several times faster than any other sea squirt known.... A colony's surface is acidic as ... stomach acid. Didemnum sp. grows on on any hard surface—from plastic to gravel—at apparently any depth. Whitlatch has seen it overgrow sponges, sedentary shellfish, and even sea grasses.... Although the lack of any apparent predator suggests that mats of Didemnum sp. are well defended, Whitlatch... induced mats of the Didemnum to spawn and then introduced crabs and certain fish renowned for dining on squirts. He now reports, "We have yet to find anything that will eat even these small Didemnum."

Another troubling lab observation: When it ran out of real estate, Didemnum sp. didn't stop growing, as other squirts do. In a glass tank fed by running water, the Didemnum mat covered the bottom, then grew up a wall. When that, too, was covered, the mat extended onto the underside of the water surface, suspended from a thin layer of bubbles. The colony apparently "used those bubbles as a flotation mechanism. How bizarre," Whitlatch says.

With the economy being globalized and dependent on trade, how can we possibly keep this world from turning into a monoculture of resistant, noxious weeds and pests?

What are you talking about? You think its the "smelly, intolerant, annoying liberals" pushing globablization? Some that you might call liberals are, like Hillary, but Bush and the neo-cons are huge globalists. To be honest about it the far left and far right are against globalization...its the center thats for it. That includes most Democrats and Republicans in power. Oh, and no one has voted for Michael Moore because he isn't a politician.

Your wrong on so many levels. Conservatives like myself and the President favor globalization. Liberals like Hillward Deanooreinton also favor globalization. Both are correct because some form of globalization is a historical imperitive. (A long time ago the world was a single continent, then it broke apart and since that time while the physical distances have increased, social distances have been decreasing because of human technosocial development. Man's ultimate conquest of Earth.)

But its not the same vision. It all comes down to America's place in the world. Conservatives want to make the world America, raising them up to the greatness that freedom and liberty can bestow upon all people and cultures while preserving that which makes us all unique. Liberals want to drown America in the world, reducing us to a common level in some great sociological melting pot the eliminates sovereignty and leaves all persons, regardless of nationality, under the thumb of an intellectual elite dictating power through a pseudo-benign international entity like the UN.

So lets look at the differing approach to the invasion of North America by hostile foriegn species. Liberals want to study, understand, protect, and ultimately accomodate them within our own system. Conservatives want to find and eliminate the invading species, and protect those at risk. I'm talking, naturally, about terrorists and Islamafacism...but the example works for frankenfish and killer bees too.

And Mr. Moore is as political a person as Rush Limbaugh. They're propagandists and a damn good ones. One is willing to sell out his own country for short-term political gain...the other lives in Florida.

Earth to Hero, earth to Hero... Last time I checked, it was "liberal" organizations that were fighting globalization, regulating ballast-water discharges and eradicating invasive species. I haven't noticed any "conservative" groups in the fight except maybe Pat Buchanan.

Don't know much about ballast-water discharges, but liberals have been blowing it out their ### for decades.

Liberal solutions: Stop looking for or listening to the invaders or just issue them drivers licenses and send them to college. Surrender abroad, accomodate at home. Make our allies surrender. Regulate everything, no more private property, Earth first and all that. Raise taxes.

Hey, nice job of liberal bashing there, Hero Nero! You and Dubya can fiddle while Baghdad burns! So typical of Neocons to go off topic to "duck the issue". You associate yourself with Bush who has proven himself a pathological liar and you expect me to take your liberal bashing rant seriously?

Do you have any idea how insulting that bullshit is too anyone who doesn't happen to be one of your American elites?

What, are Americans some master race? Sounds like the justifications of colonial Europe to me, it's alright to kill Zulus chaps, their uncivilised heathens, they need us to show them the way.

It appears you'd be happier living in the 1800's, back then it was okay to kill the fuzzy wuzzies as long as you said it was for their own good.

None of this is G.W.B's fault.

Come on, it's the evil Liberals that are all trying to tear him down. Also Clinton sold his sole (not a typeo, the devil needs new shoes) to the devil to make Bushy-boy fail.

Plus the ghost of Kennedy keeps him awake at nights.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Well, if Barron's is floating the impeachment balloon it must mean that even the general business community is fed up with Bush. The only thing we leftists and Libertarians need to be careful of is that we don't wind up with a synthetic democracy: in other words, that the replacement is most acceptable to the moneyed class.

Uh, but what did I just do?

I hijacked my own thread!

I do. Liberals I call Bush, and the neocons, and yes, Hillary, Joementum, the Benator, and DiFi and I lump them all together and call them "team evil."

But basically I agree with you, only it's one center, there is another center. This is my new theory:

The continuum is not a line, it's a circle. It goes from liberal/statist over ander around through liberal/democrat and then it starts swinging back right through liberal/libertarian until it gets to the center. Then it crosses the middle and becomes conservative/libertarian and curves around through conservative/republican. The it takes a final left hook through conservative/statist until the mid-point and you're back to liberal/statist.

I think I need to make a doodle of this.



The black circle indicates greatest possibility of finding an elected official on this line. areas not on the black line, are less likely. Some probability map could probably be drawn up, but since I'm just shooting pie in the sky I didn't bother.

While I agree with a lot of what Hero says here, most of it in fact, I disagree vehemently on one point, that globalism is inevitable. I think it's an inevitable failure, and it's a pipe dream whose very nature is not only anti-American but essentially Soviet in nature. I object to the use of the word 'conservative' to refer to Bush et al. Sure you can call Bush a conservative, if you really want, but you can't say because Bush want something that 'conservatives' collectively want it. That's absurd. It's beyond absurd. That's like saying the Shiia want a war because the president of Iran seems to. I would imagine that the liberals feel equally uncomfortable being forced into an elevator with Hillary here. So, small qualifier, say "conservative globalists" or "neoconservatives" or something.

Signym. Trust me, you will. You just haven't been looking in the right places. Right now it's difficult politically for republicans to oppose the Bush admin because he has such a tight control over the party machine, and they need that machine support to get re-elected. As a result, they seem to take turns opposing him, but after Bush falls, which he will, i think you will see a union of surviving conservatives tending much more traditionally, attempt to push the neocon influence back and reassert themselves. Also, some conservatives in europe have been fighting it for a while.

Everyone,

Can we be a little less bashing and a little less partisan?

Here's a problem. I really admire Mr. Buchanan, I think he's a great guy. Some may disagree, but not me. But he's like the right wing's Ralph Nader. He has so distanced himself by uncompromising rheotic that his own political chances are nil. Not only can he never get elected, he can never have any political influence. Those who seriously effect change are the ones who are willing to play the game and compomise. This means shutting up and sitting down when things go bad in your own party, and only opposing as much as the party leadership will tolerate. If you pull a Jeffords and leave the party, you know you're influence days are over. I know for a fact that a solid half of the republicans in the Senate do not support the globalist agenda at all, but they can't act on that under the present circumstances.

I'm expecting, and I'm hoping, that you're going to be seeing a very different GOP after the fall of Bush/Cheney. My guess would be about like this. Figure the neocon influence was about zero with nixon, and then gradually increased to 100% with GWB. So now, look at Bush, identify the neocon influence, and see how it has grown in the GOP through Ford, Reagan, and Bush Sr. then subtract that and you have more or less what the GOP would look like without these trotsky socialists. I'm not saying it would be Nixon, because the geopolitical situation would have changed, but it would be much more internationalist, and much more free-market capitalist, as opposed to globalist and state-supported monopolist.
