Death of the Planet

Orangutan Person: Chantek

Language Garden
Fascinating article on Orion Online about the writer’s encounter with an signing ape… raises serious questions about the nature of consciousness, and the division between “human” and “animal”. Not to mention our collective guilt as a species that is effectively commiting a crime even worse than genocide… “speciescide”, the deliberate extermination of an entire […]

Fascinating stuff. Spot on. The emergence of “corporate consumer culture” really is the story of the 20th century… and our politics have yet to really come to grips with this. We’ve yet to create a widely understood and agreed upon vocabulary with which to discuss and […]

Dean Myerson of the Green Institute on $250,000 grant.

Institute’s good fortune in receiving a generous gift. The
Green Institute is a policy Institute and we seek to be a
resource for all Greens and those who share our values. We at
the Green Institute look forward to meeting that challenge by
supporting a variety of projects. […]

Congress Votes to Waive All Laws for Homeland Security

[Yikes! -Thomas]
An article from OMB Watch points to provisions in the REAL ID Act, HR 418,
which would put the Secretary of Homeland Security above the law in what
appears to be a dangerous precedent. See also an earlier article (Feb. 7)
at http://www.ombwatch.org/article/articleview/2655/1/316 , which includes
text of the provision in question.

Letter re: effectiveness of use of condoms

Donald,
I ran across this column, Black HIV-AIDS awareness urged, at:
http://www.2theadvocate.com/stories/021205/opi_keeping001.shtml
in the course of another search. I thought it was a great column, getting a lot of important information out there about the prevalance of AIDS and organizations working to prevent HIV in the African-American community.
All the way up to the end… I can’t believe […]

Good Ayatollah/Bad Ayatollah

Good Ayatollah (Sistani, Iraq… but a citizen of Iran?!?)

Bad Ayatollah (Khomeini, Iran)
Clearly, there’s a difference! Or not. (note: articles are by same person)

Another successful election!

“United States officials were surprised and heartened today at the size of
turnout in South Vietnam’s presidential election despite a Vietcong
terrorist campaign to disrupt the voting. According to reports from
Saigon, 83 percent of the 5.85 million registered voters cast their
ballots yesterday. Many of them risked reprisals threatened by the
Vietcong. A successful election has long been seen […]

Why “our side” lost?

[O.K. I’m still ambivalent about the whole Kerry campaign, therefore the quotes around “our side”, but this is at least an interesting analysis… encouraging in a way, as I’m pessimistic about the ultimate outcome in Iraq, and if we’re still there four years from now, and Al Qaeda is still blowing up things on a […]
