Indeed, we light special "plague candles" whenever there's a south wind.

I never read Toni's original post, because it was bounced.

We really shouldn't sully the meaning of the word.  I mean, there are 
sane, normal people who care about clean air and clean water.  Then 
there are Ivory Tower loonies who think we need wolves in our backyard, 
a ban on homegrown fennel seed, and a moratorium on analyzing old bones.

I'm very familiar with kudzu in the South, gorse on the coastal cliffs 
of Southern Oregon, etc.  Just as one should not carelessly light 
matches and throw them around, one should learn as much as possible 
about a plant before choosing it.  But I see that the 
"environmentalists" have a more dumbed-down version in store, where only 
big corporations and the government will have access to matches, so to 
speak.  I'm thankful to live in a society that errs on the side of 
personal freedom, rather than a nanny state that bans, in advance, 
everything that might be harmful.

But by all means, keep adopting political positions that alienate large 
segments of our society.  Maybe next time you can find an even kookier 
animal rights candidate for president.
