Georgetown clothing contract with Nike

Students at Georgetown University demand the school end a clothing contract with Nike because of the cruel conditions in Nike's factory in Vietnam.

Campaign of bull-headed prudery

mercredi 14 décembre 2016 à 01:00

A national campaign seeks to make all US states prohibit sex between humans and nonhuman animals.

This campaign seems to be sheer bull-headed prudery, using the perverse assumption that sex between a human and an animal hurts the animal. That's true for some ways of having sex, and false for others.

For instance, I've heard that some women get dogs to lick them off. That doesn't hurt the dog at all. Why should it be prohibited?

When male dolphins have sex with people, that doesn't hurt the dolphins. Quite the contrary, they like it very much. Why should it be prohibited?

I've also read that female gorillas sometimes express desire for sex with men. If they both like it, who is harmed? Why should this be prohibited?

The proponents of this law claim that any kind of sex between humans and other species implies that the human is a "predator" that we need to lock up. That's clearly false, for the cases listed above. Making a prohibition based on prejudice, writing it in an overbroad way, is what prissy governments tend to do where sex is concerned. The next step is to interpret it too strongly with "zero tolerance".

Will people convicted of having dogs lick them off be required to live at least 1000 feet from any dogs?

This law should be changed to prohibit only acts in which the animal is physically forced to have sex, or physically injured.

War on Drugs in Mexico

The War on Drugs is even more blitzed in Mexico than in the US.

Digital tracking of seafood

mercredi 14 décembre 2016 à 01:00

Seafood in the US will require digital tracking to identify where it was caught or grown, and what species it is.

I'm in favor of this system, because it it doesn't track human beings. I don't think live fish have a right to privacy, let alone dead fish.
