US citizens: call for an investigation of Trump for bribery.

Humpback whale populations

lundi 12 septembre 2016 à 02:00

Most humpback whale populations will be taken off the endangered species list, as they have grown considerably since the ban on whaling 50 years ago.

In this case, it may be safe to delist them, since whaling remains banned. However, when wolves were delisted because their numbers in the US had grown, that was the signal for several states to encourage hunters to kill them. This is likely to drive wolf numbers down to the point that they will need protection again.

To prevent that, there needs to be an intermediate level of partial protection.

A step towards return to lynching

lundi 12 septembre 2016 à 02:00

Protesters carrying rifles appeared outside the home of Brock Turner in Ohio.

I find armed protests to be frightening. This group says it wasn't threatening to kill Turner, but it is a step towards return to lynching.

The idea of shooting a rapist in the act is absurd, since that would never be necessary. For instance, anyone who was present at the scene and determined to intervene could have made Turner stop without any weapons. Just to confront an angry person, he would have found it necessary to stand up.

Turner's punishment will continue for years, or perhaps the rest of his life, since he has been put on the sex offender list. That's another political issue.
