Our War Congress Explained

Wasn't this the plot of Thanatos Syndrome? Years ago while attending dinner with some folks who'd invited me to address their conference, a slightly hysterical woman brought up one of those topics which make you smile and try not to reveal how nutty you think it is. However, it seems there was something to her contention that birth control pills were poisioning us all through the water supply. It started with an EPA-funded study at the U. of Colorado two years ago, and now a series of reports are cropping up.

Scientists in western Washington found that synthetic estrogen — a common ingredient in oral contraceptives — drastically reduces the fertility of male rainbow trout.
Doug Myers, wetlands and habitat specialist for Washington State’s Puget Sound Action Team, told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that in frogs, river otters and fish, scientists are “finding the presence of female hormones making the male species less male.”

A little more here. Apparently our not-breeding is endangering other species on the planet! I'm looking forward to the rock concert that raises our awareness on this issue.
