Can Humans and Fish Coexist Peacefully?

We all remember when George uttered the following words.



But was he correct?

A recent discovery in the Potomac River shows that male fish are laying eggs. The cause is uncertain at this point. Everything from chicken farms to household chemicals are potential culprits. What is certain however is that human involvement can be attributed to the problem. Our massive consumption habits have caused massive quantities of pollutants to contaminate our water and our air.

In late 2006, a team of ecologists released a report stating that their studies indicated all saltwater fish would be extinct by the year 2048. The story was widely reported in the mainstream press but like most news stories, it was out of sight and out of mind for most Americans by the time the next episode of their favorite reality TV series came around.

This is why it is necessary to have a government which is invested in protecting its people and the environment. Inaction on issues such as these will be just as catastrophic as any "missile crisis" or "terrorist threat".

The planet is our life support system. Without it, there is no us.
