<p>"A government can also believe that they know the only way to make a nation prosper and be happy. That government and nation may commit themselves to that ideology for 100 years or more. During that time its citizens can suffer much. Anyone who disagrees..may even be considered insane. You can transfer your nation into a prison because you are committed to an ideology." Thich Nhat Hanh</p>
<p>our gvt we all know is funding the very thing that is making these atrocities possible.</p>

Unfortunately, Mr. Cesare, towards the end of the piece says that we should development wind turbines that are friendly to birds. Are you kidding me? Be staunch and forthright, damn it! There is no good wind turbines of any type, anywhere! …</p>

<p>Ok Maine this is great news but now HOW can we get the Maine legislators to recognize the threat to our birds and bats?
