UK Poll: Will HCW’s Work In A Pandemic? - (USA)
# 3188 Over the past several years we’ve seen a number of polls of HCW’s ( Health Care Workers ) that have suggested anywhere from 33% to 50% of HCWs might elect not to work during a pandemic. Government estimates, however, have routinely listed an absenteeism rate of ` up to 40% ’ , mostly due to actual illness of HCW’s, or due to HCW’s staying home to take care of ill family members . Very little public mention is being made about HCW’s who would

Food for Thought for American Conservatives - (USA)
More good content floating around the Web. This morning, @derekcbart tweeted a link to a site with the below-quoted content. I’m trying to find the source and the closest I seem to get is this post on reddit . The author of this put a lot of thought into it. Although his grammar leaves a bit to be desired, and his original title is sure to turn off anyone who actually is a conservative (which is why I edited it), he’s 100% correct in his statements.

BP brings 'green era' to a close - (USA)
Shanta Barley, BBC News 11 May 09; Environmental groups have accused BP of dropping its pledge to be green and replacing it with a commitment to be "responsible". The oil giant was widely recognised as the first oil company to both acknowledge and tackle climate change. Also, its in-house carbon trading scheme - built with a little help from an unlikely ally, the US-based Environmental Defense Fund - was among the first of its kind. However, a change of chief executive has led to an appare
