Typos grace** the "the highest quality" line!                           (**Hi Grace, sorry!)

While one's trust in this organization may not be swayed, 
their site should come with the disclaimer, like a "no animals harmed" thing...:

"No proof reader bothered in the production of this URL."

Know thy enemy

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/12/us/north-dakota-voters-consider-ending-property-tax.html?_r=1 

The continuation of the "conservative" idea that no tax is a good tax, that "I've got mine, eff you!", and I can do what I want to it, IT'S MY LAND.

(Right up until the fire races through, then I want firefighting services and compensation when they couldn't save my mansion...)

A tribe of mutes

"Neanderthals probably did have some form of language. They appear to have had a gene that is crucial to language in humans, and they buried their dead, which seems too complex an idea to have arisen among a tribe of mutes. "

Earth's changing landscape

"The change first came to the attention of scientists when nomadic reindeer herdsmen, the indigenous Nenets, said they were losing sight of their reindeer in the new trees, Macias-Fauria said.

Until recently the shrubs common in this part of the Arctic stood at most about 3.3 feet (1 meter) high, too low to obscure a reindeer."

Shrubs now trees...

2012 is warmest year on record already...(quotes from some selected google results)

"April 2012 Selected Climate Anomalies and Events Map .... of 8.1°C (46.5°F)—the second warmest April in the 133-year record, behind 2007."

"The May 2011 to April 2012 heat wave bumped the last record-settingwarm year out of the way, which was November 1999 to October 2000 ..."

Happy Summer Solstice Month!
