Everyone: call on McDonalds to pledge to reject palm oil made from deforestation.

I have never eaten at McDonalds, because I don't need to repeat someone else's mistake in order to learn from it. McDonalds makes fast food — food for not eating.

US citizens: call on the FCC to reject the Comcast-TWC merger.

The public school reality that white Americans won't see: cuts in spending, especially on schools in poor neighborhoods, track the children (mostly minority groups) into bad lives (or prison).

The various "education reform" programs that the US has seen since 2000 in effect pretend to compensate for these cuts with burdensome handwaving. The result is that poor American children have been forced into what we might call "reform school".

The UN human rights chief says the Security Council's ineffectiveness on Syria caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.

However, there is was no proper action the Security Council could have taken in regard to Syria, even if it had not been paralyzed between the US and Russia.

The US and UK are now being drawn by necessity into allying with Assad in Syria against ISIS.

India has censored a film about the assassination of Indira Gandhi because of the political slant of certain scenes.

A censorship board that does its job "honestly" is a bigger threat to human rights than one that can be bribed not to censor.
