yea Ben it may not be related but it makes you wonder when stuff like that happens so close together. I guess they've got hundreds of dead birds in a whole area down there and no clue what killed them.

scott,
the timing is worrisome, but mayor bloomberg just indicated that there was a small gas leak in the village, and it's nothing more than that.  |

If you break it down it would show (for example) an Al Queda signature to launch simultaneous attacks. On the other hand with soooooo much possibilities across a nation of 300 million people, the odds two items like this could occur naturally and coincidentally.
But - honor the threat and dig out the source

Hmmmmm , let's see
bassmaster called me on his way home from NY a few days ago.
put 2 and 2 together and maybe that's a reason for a gaseous cloud capable of destruction    |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Probably a parking garage in the area put out poison to control the bird poop on customers cars. The birds on the street are the birds that didn't die instantaneoulsy inside the parking garage from eating the poison, and flew a short distance before flopping..............................I would bet on it.

I had a close friend who was raising fancy pigeons.
He had an influx of wild pigeons raiding his coops through the return flying doors and they were eating all the feed and crossbreeding with his fancys.
One day he put all his fancy birds in a separate cage and put decon rat poison in the feed.
A week later he went to the local church for mass and the priest (who knew he raised pigeons) was talking to my friend and a pigeon fell from the roof dead in the bushes. The priest asked my friend about them falling from the church roof dead and what could be the cause. My friend just chuckled and said they were coming to church to die.
True story!  |
