tree huggers: are you forgetting rudy?
and this maine guy is hugging salmon here, not trees  ;)

and yes, bill, using arsenic to kill fish is high tech...
in the old days, ppl effluented some paper waste or slaughterhouse offal....
or the even older days, they just put the outhouse down by the creek  ;)
messy smelly, labor-intensive operations which took a while to work....
this new high tech arsenic method should be a "transparent" technology --
colorless, odorless, tasteless, and fast!

deb  "we're building huggers? do we have plans and specs for those? I'm lost without a
print...."
