Poison ivy may grow more virulent
The Hartford Courant

Poison ivy of the future may be a lot worse. Researchers have monitored
the growth of poison ivy vines in today's atmospheric conditions and in
conditions with elevated carbon dioxide concentrations, which global
warming is expected to produce by midcentury. Not only did the elevated
carbon dioxide boost poison ivy growth, but it also increased the most
toxic form of urushiol, the plant chemical that causes the itchy rash in
humans. The findings should interest a lot of people because a separate
U.S. Forest Service study found that up to 85 percent of humans are
susceptible to poison ivy.

If it is the Hartford Courant, you can bet they have nothing more than
a political agenda driving 90% of the stories they print. In a recent
survey, the HC was found to be the second most biased news paper in
the country. All they really do is copy the NYT stories and add a
little political propoganda to keep it lively. There is little news
worth reading there. Sorry Harry, the HC is little more than a PR firm
for the Democratic Party.

Please teach me about the political agenda you see in a story about poison
ivy.

Well, if it is the HC, I would expect the Global Warming aspect would
be exagerated, maybey even faked. I never said anything about Fox
news, I did cite a study done by some college in Cali. I forget which
one. If you don't see the HC as biased, you either don't want to know,
or you are beyond reasonable comprehension, or you have not read the
paper. I live in CT, have for 50 years.

The article doesn't contain one single word that would suggest political
bias. This is not my opinion or my interpretation. This is inarguably
factual. Read the article. If you disagree with my factual statement,
explain why.

Go scratch yourself. The Courant wrapping fish is more reliable than

And Harry, without fighting about it, you would probably be considered
by a majority as left, even far left, your talking points tease
ideologue. I don't expect you to view the HC as biased.

I'm a middle of the road leftie. BTW, I looked at today's editorial
page at the Courant. Real radical stuff, calling for resumption of
inspections of highway bridges, a bit about golf, and a hit on a state
agency that loaned money to Enron.

BTW, about 72% of the country now believes Bush is a total, complete
F.U. Maybe the problem with the Courant is...you.- Hide quoted text -

Well I think he is a FU too, and a pussy but then again, I am not an
ideologue. I did not do the study, you do not live here to see what
that paper and it's extreme left (sell out to insurance companies and
anyone else with a buck) agenda has done to our state. The HC is on a
mission, just cause you agree with the mission does not make it
unbiased. Although you may consider yourself middle of the road, most
who read you would take your support of the HC alone as proof positive
of it's biased agenda. Like I said, I live here, my dad reads the
Journal Inquirer which basically copies the Courant and the Times word
for word.
