"The Red-breasted Goose (Branta ruficollis) is a goose of the genus Branta. 

It is sometimes separated in Rufibrenta but appears close enough to the Brent Goose (Branta bernicla) to make this unnecessary, despite its distinct appearance.

The Red-breasted Goose breeds in Arctic Europe, often close to nests of large birds of prey, such as Peregrine Falcons. 

This helps to protect this small goose from predators such as the Arctic Fox. 

[MY NOTE: Interesting! The enemy of your enemy is your friend]

It winters in south eastern Europe. 

It is a rare vagrant to Great Britain and other western European areas, where it is sometimes found with Brent flocks."

"This species is unmistakable, but can be surprisingly difficult to find amongst Brent Geese due to its small size. The red also tends to look black at long distances." [MY NOTE: How does the Red Army look at long distances? Black Ops Army? :) ]

"Over 80% of the population roost during the winter at just five sites [MY NOTE: in Romania and Bulgaria], with nearby feeding areas threatened by changes in land-use."

Also, I show you a dorincard about The White House, a symbol for all the Presidents of USA, who are supposed to listen to The People and The Honest Experts in each field, and then decide the best course of action for our nation (and the world, too, by The Butterfly Effect)

(Almost) no media news outlet today is objective enough, I think...but these historical facts are interesting:

It amazes me that so many people spend so much money buying T-shirts, to wear them only a couple of times before trashing them. Or do they collect them, like stamps? Anyway, look at some bestselling, custom, (pricey), cool T-shirts from Zazzle. You, too, can design (almost) whatever you like on a T-shirt!

Browse other personalized gifts from Zazzle.

Why is it that many of your designs will be rejected on a Zazzle personalized stamp,
but NOT on a T-shirt, etc.?
Why is it OK to design all kinds of outrageous, even profane, rated-R things
 on anything BUT stamps?
Here's why: http://dorincard.blogspot.com/search?q=stringent+design
