All Out War

If only they knew what we've done to them ...
Bee!
Roy Hancliff

We snatch away honey from their hives and they try to guard it with their lives. We’ve been known to throw rocks at their homes for no good reason, and they’ve been known to sting us with little provocation. Still, we have managed to coexist for millennia. And the bees, besides keeping our honey pots full, have performed indispensable work in nature, allowing flowers, fruits and nuts to pollinate. But recently our relationship with our little yellow friends has soured. For the fourth year in a row, more than a third of colonies failed to survive the winter, and US scientists have found 121 different pesticides in pollen and wax samples. If their tiny bee-brains could comprehend what we’ve done to them, bees would have cause to declare all out war, attacking us like Hitchcock’s birds.

LOL, stupid commies.

There is a reason why communism has only resulted in genocide and famine and mass impoverishment wherever it has been tried. It SUPPRESSES the INDIVIDUAL.

But converse commies don't get it.

The Bourgeois, the People, yadda yadda yadda. Long live the revolution. Still talking about the revolution? Replacing the old boss with a new boss? Do not revolve the system, change it from within, do not forcefully take, create.
But commies will still raise their fists.
Declaring the day of the people has arrived. Union rights aside, how will we pay teachers or soldiers when the Government itself is broke? Sorry commies, there is no more money left to redistribute.
The answer of course, is, everyone will be forced to take a pay cut, and don't snarl at the man with the BMW - he's the one that keeps what meager economic activity is left going in your country. But converse commies know it all, after all, they are the artists and the poets, the street romancers,

only this time, they will be the ones to end up in barefoot economics,
that would be,

this is no time for rallying,

impoverishment.

TROLL!
2 questions:
why does the right jump stright to iggnorant assumptions that if you are anti-establishment you are "commies" and "socialists", the red scares over dude, calm down! Why would it be assumed that we desire to opress the individual?

and 2:
What did your rant have to do with the bees? Caring about what humans have done to the planet is somehow communism? If you close you mind off any farther it may IMPLODE!

Remember the animated movie about bees a few years ago?

If bees can't do their thing, the world dies. Saw something recently on one of the cable networks about scientists trying to determine why the the bees are dying.

Some sort of disease is suspected. But what if it is us?

It is scary to think something so minor (a bee) could have such an impact on our lives.

It's been known for at least 30/40 years that all sorts of pesticides are devastatingly damaging our precious blue home. As one of the Polish bands sang:'Until we feel it on our very skin, nobody will give a damn about what's going on with our Planet'.
