When capitalism fails (Page 2): I agree, I love to see them, I even know how to tell the male from female at a glance.

We specifically plant milkweed near the creek every year so the Monarchs can have a place to be on their round trip. They are worth preserving.

Fine deductive reasoning .

I must now make a confession. I make maple syrup as a hobby, so I guess I am in on the conspiracy, but I swear I have not harmed any honeybees in decades. I even once worked a little for a bee keeper in my teens.

That is interesting, I would not know how to determine which sex they are but as long as the butterflies know, that is the most important thing.

Each back/rear wing of the make has a "bump" in one of the black "veins" , the female does not have that. https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=A0LEVvHWmqtYKmsAjAcPxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTByMjB0aG5zBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--?p=Photo+Male+Monarch+Butterfly&fr=yhs-visicom-panda1&hspart=visicom&hsimp=yhs-panda1 Good looking guys, aren't they?

Decline is due to DISEASE and viruses and fungus. That is war research shows. https://phys.org/news/2016-04-multi-year-honey-bee-parasites-disease.html Get in touch with actual research.

Maybe true, but there is significant evidence of the contribution of chemistry/pollutants. Bees are not meant to be pushed out by man.

Proudemocrat Loc: To your left.

Many of us believe that we are still either protecting or fighting against capitalism, when in fact, it's now corporatism. It crept up on us, while we were busy fighting each other. We (the right and the left) should look up and see for ourselves the difference between capitalism and corporatism and ask ourselves what we should be doing right now. I'm not pretending to know what that is, but I am sure it's not fighting each other.

You're wrong. Either you or us must win. Right now we are up. Your day will come again.

Win what?

The country. Democrats got a lot of what they wanted under Obama. We are hoping to get what we want now that Donald is in charge. I don't see compromise happening. Either you guys win or us. There is no working together except if the country is attacked. One side has to lose. The losing side has to lose people also. I mean the winning side must convert some over to their side and become the majority.
