I think that really sucks! Especially when the resident geese seemed not to be the issue with the airlines. Not that you can tell which geese will go where but I think there must have been a better way to handle this.

I do wonder what they're planning to do with the tens of thousands of mostly geese that come through here every fall and spring. They use some large wetland basins less than ten miles from JFK international airport as their stop-over and gathering area.
I also wonder that with such a concentration of large birds in that area twice a year, air accidents aren't much more common.

with the limited information at my disposal, I must conclude that this is not a common enough occurrence to warrant wholesale extinction of geese to assure our safety
I am so upset and pissed

Have you read "Of Mice and Men?" or "Old Man and the Sea?" or "Death of a Salesman?" All very good reads.

Yes, yes, no.

The movie version of "Old Man and the Sea" (with Thpenther Trathy), wasn't that bad, either.

Me too Rhea, what a shame...

I saw "Death of a Salesman" in a play at Yale. That was much better acted out.

my favourite statement:"a fly is just as evolved as a human. It’s just evolved to a different niche."

Yeah, common descent has that effect.

Although one could argue that the fly is more evolved, on the grounds that it has more generations behind it.

Oh wow. You guys aren't going to believe this. Someone who isn't necessarily me, just received 6 bottles of geniune hemp/Absinthe hootch, 160 proof, from Germany.

The price for all 6 bottles was 1 cent. Man, I love internet sales.
