in NY it's illegal to feed the deer. I prefer to feed the birds corn instead and then control the deer by freezing them in hamburger sized bags.

Beef cattle can eat hay too you know.

OK it looks like hydrocarbons might not be "fossil fuels" at all. Oil and gas are still DEEP in the earth in quantities that are unimaginable, too deep to be the remains of ancient organisms. We just have to go get it but no we can't. CO2 is going to destroy the earth's "stable" temperature ending life as we know it. (That is sarcasm.)
