Title: Pistil-packing Activists Suspected in Flower Plantings
Post by: DrewKaree on June 08, 2005, 09:12:29 pm: This has to be one of the oddest forms of protest I've ever heard of. Original, if it's true, and clever! I wonder if a rogue conservative with a bottle of Round-Up could be jailed for assault with a deadly weapon in this case ;)

Wetlands, Chad, animals that can't live anywhere else live there. Or do you think we should build a zoo?

Move them to a place where they can live BETTER, and then build.
