News: "Affluenza - Rampant consumerism erodes us"

Not that 240 people necessarily constitute a scientific sample, but here's some food for thought in today's news anyway... :-)

Plus... (speaking of consumerism!) at right, a t-shirt for Jackie (and Johnson!)
:-)
Personally, I like the one at left myself!

Then, in environment news, talk about run-off: Sex-change chemicals in river that runs through US capital!

Lastly but not leastly, "WHAT DO WE CARE ABOUT? On a day when 55 people were killed by bombs in Iraq, the most read story on BBC news was news of a duck who survived gunshot wounds and two days in the fridge. The story was also more popular than Hillary Clinton's announcement to run for President in 2008."

That is strange about the endocrine disrupters. I have heard of individuals flushing their birth control down the toilet and that impacting various fish species. I know that birth control can reduce fertility of some male fish species.
