Unintended Consequences: Aragon vultures - a photoset on Flickr

Aragon Vultures starving

From NPR's The World:

"Mad cow" disease terrified Europe in the mid-1990s. But the European Union issued some strict containment measures to bring mad cow and its variants under control. One of those measures is a ban on leaving dead livestock in the fields.  It's designed to prevent mad cow and related diseases from spreading. But it's caused a problem -- for vultures. The problem is especially bad in Spain, where nearly half of Europe's vultures live.  The World's Gerry Hadden reports from Aragon.

Earth Hour, just not in Vegas... or most cities in the US

The "YOU FUCKING SUCK" award for today goes to Las Vegas, my hometown, for not shutting down the lights on the strip (for one fucking hour... just the exterior lights, goddamnit) in solidarity with the REST OF THE FUCKING CIVILIZED WORLD for Earth Hour. Sure, the whole concept is utterly ridiculous (because, A: the end is nigh, B: one hour won't make a mouse-fart's worth of difference, C: There are much more, generally highly-conceptual problems that pose a much graver threat to our planet than getting people to feel good about turning off the lights...) but, fuck it; I'm typing this in the dark, and I guess that's a start... or, at the very least, will help (in a parts-per-billion kind of way) some of the children of the next generation get used to living in the new post-feudal world we will be leaving for them.

Ah, sweet darkness. I hate darkness... it scares me. Find out more about this non-event which has already happened (and therefore has no relevance to anything in your life so why are you reading you prick go drive your hummer) at:
