sorta OT the price of beef

I'm no veggie, but I eat a lot less meat than I used to.
I'm too lazy to hunt anymore, so I buy locally grown grassfed
beef instead. It costs twice as much, but it sure is good.

However, as someone else already pointed out--all that grass sucks
the water out of the rivers, at an alarming rate.

I think the root problem is too damn many people.
The planet was better off 50 years ago, where the primary
difference is fewer humans then and so many more now.
Humans have become a destructive pestilence on the face of the earth.

I like this little Ubuntu/pan newsreader.
......a by-product of the pestilence?

Oops, my assumption regarding the gender-neutral name proved once again
the old saying about assuming things. I should have used the gender-
neutral "sterilize" instead. :-)

Now if you could get the rest of the world to follow suit, you would be on
to something.

Installed Ubuntu ~1 month ago, I like it a lot, but a lot to learn. There
is quite a dichotomy of opinion on Pan, but I like it too. Though IMHO,
nothing compares to the free Omea Reader in Windows (newgroup/RSS/ web
reader/organizer).
