Our ugliest good friends.

While the lazy and useless media continue to give major coverage to the two, and possibly only one, person affected with the Ebola virus in the United States, they glossed over or ignored a far more important story: the death of millions of bats. It seems that in the Northeast and other areas millions of bats are dying of the white-nose syndrome (WNS), a disease caused by the insidious fungus Pseudogymnnoaascus (Geomyces) destructants.  If you're only slightly smarter than a news reporter, you will know that bats consume millions of insects that carry disease or just plain make  our lives miserable. We need bats, desperately. Ugly as they are, we love bats. You will recall how little attention the news media gave to the disappearance of bees, which are essential to our food supply. So while the media cover non-stories like Ebola in America, they continue to ignore those serious stories which  truly affect our lives. Why? Because they require more research, energy and intelligence.
