I want to take a second to talk about Conservation. My personal philosophy is that conservation isn't limited to just Natural Resources, or Pretty Things We All Want To See (PTWAWTS).

I'm at UNCG right now in the Superlab, having just finished a book review on Thor Heyerdahl's theory of the Migration of Incan precursor civilizations to the small, Polynesian Islands of the South Pacific, and I just discovered something that annoys me greatly ( Read more... )
