Boulder, Colorado, represents what a good future for the US would look like.

I don't believe it is inevitable that the US (or any country) will make a good choice for its future. If we want that to happen, we have to work for it.

US citizens: call for saving Wyoming's wolves.

US citizens: Call on Congress to support the Lautenberg Act and give Americans systematic protection against toxic chemicals.

Around the world, both within countries and internationally, rule of law is increasingly rejected. Democracy and the UN are unable to handle the problems they face.

I conjecture this is because of national and international plutocratic control that makes democracy fail as an instrument for the people to get anything that the plutocrats don't approve.

The "sunbathing partly undressed woman" argument against drone cameras is convenient, but omits the most important part of the danger flying cameras pose to all of us.

Nonflying cameras on the street pose much of the same danger, except the part about being partly undressed (except if the camera can be directed to look in your window, which is the case for some of them).
