Another L.A. Times letter to the editor, because our voices matter:

Re “GOP bill proposes arming teachers,” Jan. 31

Following the 9/11 attacks, pilots were allowed to carry guns in the cockpit. Now some California Republicans want teachers to be armed. Who is next? Have we become totally unhinged?

In New Zealand, even police officers usually don’t carry guns. They know arming themselves encourages would-be criminals to do likewise. New Zealand has more sheep than people, and we have almost as many guns as people. Maybe the Kiwis know something we don’t.

One mystery is solved, but more fish and birds are dying in huge numbers

See this headline?

Dead Birds Fall From Sky In Sweden, Millions Of Dead Fish Found In Maryland, Brazil, New Zealand

The story is getting bigger and eerier. Please read the article.

Only one of the mysteries appears to be solved…

It wasn’t poison, or lightning, or the end of the world. The thousands of dead birds found dead on the streets of Beebe, Arkansas, on New Years Day were killed by… fireworks.

… but please go read the HuffPo article about all the others.  Between pollution, climate change, fireworks, and who knows what else, we have a lot of birds and fish dying off, and very suddenly.

Disturbing, to say the least.
