Climate change dates back to dawn of first farmers – ‘Early farmers used a lot more land, and they cleared a lot more forest per farmer’

(USA TODAY) – Deforestation by early farmers likely kicked off an era of
man-made climate change long before our present era, suggests a climate

Chopping down trees with flint axes, planting peas and shearing sheep —
those all sound like the prosaic duties of the earliest farmers.

for pain. However, when stress is chronic, as it often is in modern

"High court to decide on voter proof of citizenship; Tougher Arizona rule
conflicts with federal law" by Adam Liptak | New York Times, October 16,
2012
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to decide whether Arizona
may require proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in federal
elections. The federal appeals court in San Francisco had blocked the state
law, saying it conflicted with a federal one.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case early next year, and the
law will remain suspended until ... more »
Population Control 17: China's Depopulation and RH Law
* This is my second guest post in antipinoy.com, posted the other day.
-----------
China’s depopulation has begun. While it’s true that they still have a big
number of younger workers, they also have a rising number of ageing people
who need more healthcare, more pension and other retirement benefits. So
the burden of taking care of the ageing people will really fall on the
shoulders of the younger population.
The China communist government cannot simply dispatch its hundreds of
millions of bureaucrats, or robots, to take care of their oldies.

America Has Gone Insane: 7 Year Old Suspended From School For Accidentally Shaping His Pastry (!) Into A "Gun"!
Years back, I used to put up periodic articles that showed the
ridiculousness of our society, and some of the lunacy that definitely seems
to be rampant today... It was called "From The Files Of Absurdity", and
from what I see going on right now in America today, I may have been
definitely premature in posting those files at this blog!
I came across an article today that definitely shows how truly insane
America has become... According to this article, that I discovered at the
"From The Trenches World Report" website, at

Sniffing Around the Supreme Court's Decision on Drug Dogs
"Supreme Court sides with drug-sniffing dog" by Robert Barnes |
Washington Post, February 20, 2013
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with a drug-sniffing German
shepherd named Aldo in ruling that police do not have to extensively
document a dog’s expertise to justify relying on the animal to search
someone’s vehicle.
The unanimous court overturned a Florida Supreme Court ruling. That court
had thrown out a 2006 search of a truck after Aldo ‘‘alerted’’ to the smell
of drugs, saying police must compile detailed evidence of the dog’s
reliability before establishing pro... more »
Important Health News: Video: Toxic Light - The Dark Side Of "Energy Efficient" Light Bulbs!
One very important subject that I continue to cover in this blog is of
course Health related issues. Again, we must understand that the criminals
who are out to enslave us all have been poisoning our bodies and weakening
our immune systems purposely to destroy our abilities to fight back against
their planned tyranny.
I have long stressed the absolute need to never, ever, put Mercury filled
Compact Fluorescent (CFL) light bulbs into your homes. These insidious
little devices are absolutely deadly to human health due to the poisonous
Mercury they contain. It is a little known fac... more »
"A Tale Told By An Idiot..."
"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
- William Shakespeare
“Macbeth” Act 5, scene 5, 19–28

Teabaggers Witlessly Fulfilling An Old John Birch Society Plot To Destabilize The U.S. Government?
I don't know why I put a question mark at the end of that sentence in the
subject line. The other day I was joking around on Twitter, suggesting that
some teabaggers might find it ironic if the Republican Party's latest
attempt at rebranding included them calling themselves "Tories," "Red
Coats" or the King's Men." I don't know how many teabaggers have a sense of
irony-- certainly none of the ones I've met.
The Tea Party's Austerity Agenda, which is wrecking every single economy in
Europe that tries it, just pushed the U.K. into a triple-dip recession. The

public's gaze. Still, despite only polling 72 votes Elvis fans can rest
easy knowing its leaflets were seen by thousands of people. I also have it

Worst practices in journalism
Increasingly convinced Big Media is a greater threat to the Republic than
Republicans. The failure to inform verges on criminal negligence. Take for
instance, this process piece glaringly titled, "Obama blames Republicans
for failing to stop sequester." It's not that it's wrong. Obama is blaming
the GOPers but that's because, it's the Republican's damn fault. Yet this
is how The Hill describes the situation.
Democrats are pressing for offsetting the spending cuts through a
combination of increased taxes and replacement spending cuts.

The other is another month of reduced casualties in Afghanistan. Only one

have been 9 coalition deaths, 4 of them Americans, so far this year. Last
year through February there had been 59 coalition troop deaths, including
42 Americans. Remember, fighting in Afghanistan is seasonal, so there's
every reason to expect that casualties will rise in the spring. Still, it's
a pretty dramatic drop, worth noting just for itself as well as wh... more »
