Assad Regime's "Starve Or Surrender" Strategy Is a War Crime, says Amnesty.

Roy Moore's relationships

lundi 27 novembre 2017 à 01:00

Senate candidate Roy Moore tried to start dating/sexual relationships with teenagers some decades ago.

He tried to lead Ms Corfman step by step into sex, but he always respected "no" from her and his other dates. Thus, Moore does not deserve the exaggerated condemnation that he is receiving for this. As an example of exaggeration: one mailing referred to these teenagers as "children", even the one that was 18 years old. Many teenagers are minors, but none of them are children.

The condemnation is surely sparked by the political motive of wanting to defeat Moore in the coming election, but it draws fuel from ageism and the fashion for overprotectiveness of "children".

I completely agree with the wish to defeat Moore. Political Christianists such as Moore hold views that conflict essentially with human rights, just as political Islamists do. If Moore, with his extremist policies, gains public office again, he will harm millions of American women, and secondarily society as a whole.

Ms Corfman says she was hurt afterward, and attributes this to feelings of guilt based on the belief that she had done something wrong (which, of course, she had not). Is this is another sign of Christianity at work?

I sent a check to Doug Jones US Senate a few weeks ago. Please support his campaign too. You can mail a check here:

Renewable electricity

lundi 27 novembre 2017 à 01:00

The low price of renewable electricity generators is leading to massive investments despite the efforts of planet-roasters to hold it back.

Electric power generation is, alas, only one of the sectors that cause greenhouse emissions. There is transportation, which usually means burning fossil fuels; there is deforestation; there is farming.

Converting electric generation to 100% renewable may not be enough to avoid global heating disaster, though it is a big step towards that goal.

Lagos homes bulldozed

lundi 27 novembre 2017 à 01:00

Amnesty: The government of Lagos has evicted 30,000 poor people by bulldozing their homes. Sometimes thugs shot people to chase them out. Sometimes the bulldozer operators did not wait for all the people to get out of the homes.

A Canadian mining company can be sued in Canada for using slave labor in Eritria.
