For those that don't know-- Urinetown centers around the idea that the world's environment has gone to shit--at one point Lockstock even proclaims that our current way of life is unsustainable.
So today I saw a very disturbing article in the Times that says more than a quarter of the country's 2.4 million bee colonies have been lost. Worker bees are failing to return to their hives after setting out on their morning commutes. Scientists are so far at a loss, but theories range from genetically modified crops to cell phone signals, etc. (in other words.... HUMANS COULD BE TO BLAME!)
While the loss of some bugs may seem a minor problem, honeybees are arguably one of the most important insects for food production, the article says, since they're the principal pollinators of hundreds of types of fruits, vegetables, flowers and nuts.
HOW SCARY IS THIS? Think about it people!!! Even a Republican should be able to figure out that with no bees, no pollination. No pollination, no plants. No plants, no food for animals. No food for animals, and the future doesn't look so bright. We'll be required to subsist on a diet of ocean-water and margarine, if we're lucky.
It is time to panic! We can go on killing everything around us and destroying our environment, but some day, it is going to sting us in the ass. People need to know that our way of life IS unsustainable!!!
Read the Times article
Now you can go back to surfing for porn!

Dude. They are doing a special report on how the bees are disappearing tonight on channel 2. That's pretty freaky.
