Corporations entitled to human rights

mardi 13 octobre 2020 à 02:00

See which candidates have pledged to amend the Constitution to reject the idea that corporations are entitled to human rights.

I was disappointed to see that not one candidate in my state has endorsed it.

Even a weak target for greenhouse emissions reduction can create many jobs and a booming economy.

It could slow down disaster, and pave the way for stronger steps.

Covid-19 in the Czech Republic

Covid-19 transmission has been rising in the Czech Republic since August, and has reached the point where it will overload the medical system.

This demonstrates yet again that trying to trim the settings in the rules is a mistake. Once transmission starts accelerating, you must take firm action without delay. You're only safe if the number of new cases is decreasing.

*Despite Trump's 'Jobs, Jobs, Jobs' Bluster, the Rust Belt Is Still Reeling from Plant Closures.*

The saboteur is sabotaging science

mardi 13 octobre 2020 à 02:00

The saboteur is sabotaging science by forbidding research using fetal cells culture.

Dubya did the same thing. In the 2000s, a friend of mine hoped that research would find a way to prevent his developing blindness. Due to Dubya's policy, that research was not done. Now he is completely blind.

A fetus is not a baby, and a culture of human cells is not a human being. There is absolutely nothing wrong (barring unusual circumstances) with an abortion, and absolutely nothing wrong with using fetal cells (or their cultures) for research (medical or otherwise). When anyone acts less than proud of using the results of such research, we should speak up and say, "Be proud!"
