It's the LAW OF THE LAND.

Not just people in foreign lands...but Birds, Fish and the rest of civilization.

You were expecting Rainbows...and Ponies? What's wrong with you? A Few Eagles? Who Cares....

(sorry for the snark...it's horribly depressing}..but, it's what it is and we are supposed to be very accepting of this...just more collateral damage...and this time for "Sustainable Energy" while we impose Fracking TCP and invade Countries across the Globe for oil while polluting here at home ....we kill abroad.

Why SOLAR was not the Alternative Choice over Wind Farms..I don't know. I guess big Hedge Fund/Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan liked Wind Farms over Solar...and this is what we get after Citizens United decision by Supremes allowed the money to be donated by those who had the most and so they got the most influence.

What can one say these days to understand any of this.
