Asian invasion: Part 725,585,001
The Great Lakes are in imminent danger of invasion of an invasive species of asian carp that thrives in the Mississippi River. An electrical barrier somewhere along the Mississippi River is believed to be the cause of the species to have entered the Lakes. The will wipe out other fish living in the lakes, causing the destruction of an ecosystem. Michigan's governor is being swayed by some environmental groups to take legal action against the company responsible for the problem. Rappa Whelks, triploid oysters, carp and kudzu; that might not even be asian but it sure does sound like it. Now, let's take the information we've learned about invasive species. They seem to ALL come from asian countries. Now you tell me, America, accidental invasion, or an attack in disguise? I feel like this is a ploy to attack our home land via ship ballasts and non-functional electrical barriers (probably Made in China). The main focus though for me is I will soon be a resident of the Great Lake neighbor, Ohio. I will be quite ticked if those carp eat up all my beautiful other fish...

Perhaps a little bit strong in accusing Asian countries of being the source of all invasives? Where in Ohio will you be?
