Everyone: please write to AddUp@sierraclub.org and webmaster@sierraclub.org to request in a respectful tone that the Sierra Club make sure that people can sign its petitions without running Javascript code.

That used to work. It could certainly work again, if they decide to make it work.

If, as is the case with me, you support some of their petitions and would sign them if you didn't have to pay with your freedom to sign, I suggest telling them so.

US citizens: call on Congress to provide aid for civilians fleeing Falluja.

US citizens: call on Congress to limit arms for Salafi Arabia and Syrian rebels (in different ways).

The European Union has recruited internet communication companies to delete "hate speech".

I disapprove of this policy, for different reasons from those of EDRI.

It is legitimate to prosecute incitement to violence, and this is a crime in the US, although inexplicably Trump is allowed to get away with it.

However, people have a right to hate, and to say so, even when it is irrational, unjustified and foolish (for instance, based on race, color, etc.) When Europe's laws against "hate speech" prohibit this, they go to far. The US does not prosecute people for this, when it doesn't go as far as inciting violence.

What does it mean, then, for US companies to agree to a policy of quickly deleting such statements? I fear it means censorship imposed on the to satisfy an EU law.

Thailand's famous "tiger temple" was a node for smuggling tigers and tiger parts to fools in China.

Reportedly other tiger farms and "sanctuaries" do the same thing.

I find it surprising that the farms are unable to pass off cultivated tiger parts as "wild". Clearly they do not mind lying. Is there anything that could help them do this?
