They have discovered that even the Amazon rain forest is actually a result of agriculture. I suppose you enjoy eating… It makes no sense to rave against agriculture in general. At any rate I wish they would start domesticating Melipona beecheii for North American bee keeping. It is a native american bee, though it is more central and south america as it is tropical. It is also stingless, which is a plus. Native Americans in Mexico harvested them for honey.

Slavery happened to whole peoples in multiple places. Rome enslaved peoples from all over europe. Slave traders from Europe and America didn’t introduce Africa to slavery. Africa was already fighting wars and enslaving each other across the entire continent. That is where the slave trade came from. They enslaved europeans if they got caught there. They had slaves to sell and Europeans found that they wanted to use them. It was a global problem and any peoples left in Africa are just as guilty of it as any European or American. Which is to say, not at all, because all of those people have been dead for two generations.

Well, domestic bees are invasive. I wonder if they are going to try to feed this to wild bees… Probably not. Still, I want domestic bees to flourish, because I like honey, so I’m not that mad.

It’s the truth. Sorry? Do you think the slave traders were parking outside Africa, ranging across the continent, and grabbing people with big nets?

Well, these guys aren’t working, as far as I’m concerned, if they can do it without bringing out a mouse and real keyboard and probably a second monitor. (My laptop bag is pretty heavy.) They can at best be checking emails.

As a Florida man I can verify that we break into rock pits to play. Rock pits full of quicksand traps. I went to collect fossil shells. They would have never found me.
