I saw a bumper sticker today saying "I CAN TWEET MEAN STUFF NOW" with a pic of the Twitter bird with a trump wig.

I do, actually. I do everything I can for any bugs. They are a special interest of mine. Especially spiders. I keep spiders in the corners of my house and let them catch the little flies and shit. I say hello to the one near the door when I get home, and goodbye when I leave.

To me, a human's life is no more or less important than an ant.

Everything plays a part. I'm not necessarily saying its YOUR kids. But say if your neighbours kids are doing the same then their neighbours, etc..

All I'm saying is dont catch them. Just cause theres a lot of them doesnt make it right, or make them less significant. They're some of the oldest creatures on earth, I think over 350 million years old. Show them some respect. Enjoy with your eyes. They're alive too and deserve to be here just as much as you and I.

There are lots of people but we dont go around catching people and putting them in cages just for fun (I guess this does happen in some parts of the world however.)

Well there are plenty other options. Firstly, you shouldn't plant anything, even shrubs close to your house. But you can create hedgerows with them instead. Or designate areas for trees, shrubs, plants etc.

If you have the land, then that ain't an issue. But if you have a town house or something, just having native plants is great for the pollinators, and birds.

Lawns are stupid. Regardless. Mulch is a better option, at least stuff wants to live in it.

Absolutely. Lawns are a fucking plague to America. They're fucking stupid.

People need to realise native weeds and plants are essential to your local ecosystem and help promote healthy habitats for the buggos. Weeds are not bad, a lot of them are edible and extremely healthy. Learn how to identify.

I had quite a few in may and june. They're very delicate and susceptible to pesticides, light pollution, pollution, etc. Also lawns. Everyone has lawns cut to like 1/2 inch which js incredibly unhealthy for biodiversity. Short grass isn't good for fireflies. If you let your grass grow in certain areas itll provide a nice habitat for then. They like humidity.

Introduce the Scandinavian style breathalizers that are directly linked to your ignition... If you're driving drunk you shouldn't be fucking driving ever, end of. You're a death threat to everyone else on the road and do not deserve the privilege to drive. Driving is not a right, it's a privilege.. if you break that law then suffer the consequences cause you're a liability to everyone else on the road.

Yes there should be rehabilitation involved in some way or another for people with duis, suspended licenses, etc.

I dont believe incarceration is deserved unless you end up killing someone while DUI.
