Digg is a great website. Some times posters take advantage of a good thing.
Sure we have rodents and commies lurking about computers. For sure, hogorina has been addressed as a swine. Rats should take the same course. Call me any time, at least it is wonderful to come on digg, and to Digg
others. Hope this isn't an admitted hate
crime. Can anyone be charged with a hate crime by disliking rats? Most likely.

It is often wodered if mother nature loves rodents. Twenty cities infested with politicians, plus waves of rats is quiet a combination. However there have been reported in several tourist-trapping states of wharf rats ten to thirteen inches lengh.Most likerly these
filthy cites must be infested with home made rats thrikving of the labor of i9nsignificant hoards of inaticulate souls. What a shame.

Check with the named cities, states, and one will discover all are under the city manger.... More

The REPORTING that "renowned rodent experts" Dale Kaukeinen and Dr. Bruce Colvin need to REFOCUS on is
NOT WHAT WE DON'T WANT, but WHAT WE DO WANT:

"INSPECT" and REPORT why 6 of the top 25 cities for U.S. Population were managed too well to ever make it to the
D-Con Risk Report— those such as Indianapolis with aging infrastructure.

Those with the most knowledge that take decisive action are the winners. "Inspect what you expect": Inspect— Review—.... More

Mom nature had nothing to with creating a HUMANOID. Digg should erase such adverse language from its website. Humanism is a deep-seated regression, into one's unconscious mind; in layman's terms, a homemade
selfish introversion, of morons who 's individual egos are controlled by ids,
in conflict with their egos and super
egos, gathering up personalitie's of every ilk, with personality suppression
complex syndromes.
Digg! Dig into this humanistic mulch.

Had a hard time getting back on DIGG. And now a rat stairs
me in the face. This brings me back through the years when
a police officer ( myself ), was surrounded by RATS. It reminds me of the late celliod flick, " Of Mice and Men".

Rodent Risk Report

Rodent experts Dr. Bruce Colvin and Dale Kaukeinen completed a study in 2007 assessing cities’ risk from rodent populations. This year, d-CON provided the funding for a similar survey reflecting the economic downturn and its possible effect on urban sites and conditions that might affect rodent populations. The experts used census data, city revenues and expenditures plus rates of unemployment and foreclosures to get the complete rodent picture. But rats aren't the only animals these cities have to offer. MNN supplemented their scientific findings with the finer side of the animal kingdom. For each city, we've added a few appealing animal stops — for travelers, or perhaps for the residents seeking to regain some urban pride.
