There truly is no rest for the wicked, and Monsanto is at war once again against health conscious consumers with the latest ‘Monsanto Protection Act‘, managing to sneak wording into the latest Senate legislation that would give them blanket immunity from any USDA action regarding the potential dangers of their genetically modified creations while under review. The USDA would be unable to act against any and all new GMO crops that were suspected to be wreaking havoc on either human health or the environment.

The comparisons came fast and furious when the first synopsis for Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim leaked out. Giant robots fighting giant monsters? For kids of a recent generation, it sounded a lot like the cheese-tastic Power Rangers series. Only, you know, awesome.
Members of Generation X, we have some good news—the two have joined forces in a pretty spot-on fan trailer cut. Chopping up the snippets of footage we got to see in the new trailer with a great theme and voiceover track from Power Rangers, the dark sci-fi footage takes on a completely different tone with that jittery techno backing track.

Mexico is putting up wind power turbines at a breakneck pace and the expansion is pitting energy companies against the Indians who live in one of the windiest spots in the world.
The largely indigenous residents of the Isthmus complain that the wind farms take control of their land, affect fish and livestock with their vibrations, chop up birds and pit residents against each other for the damage or royalty payments. They also claim they see few of the profits from such projects.

Just felt bored and decided to look at the admin log to see who's been getting PWN'ed again, been awhile lol. And then I saw this.
After I wiped the floors of TAN with both of you it was obvious that you two needed to lean on each other for emotional support. But to abuse your admin powers to save someone from 'embarrassment' rather than remain neutral and let things flow naturally!? None of the admin logs show anyone going out of their way to "spellfix" someone. It's pretty self explanatory that you did someone a "favor" using your admin privilege's, especially when you two are on the same side of an argument. Unprofessional admin. . . Guess only Biggles can see what really went down.
