Please don't buy plants this spring with embedded poisons in them. This has long-lasting effects and means it will kill all kinds of insects, almost all of which are completely beneficial. We are experiencing a crash in insect levels that threatens our own survival.

The death penalty is fundamentally a poor person’s issue. I have never met a single person with money or resources on death row. Capital punishment means “those without the capital get the punishment.”
