Truthdig: Drilling Beneath the Headlines - (USA)
Truthdig: Drilling Beneath the Headlines - 2008/04/01 - U.S. Image Improves - For the first time in years, people around the world may be starting to have a less negative view of the United States, possibly because America is about to change its leader. Although most people when asked in a poll whether the U.S. has a positive influence in the world still say no, the percentage holding this view has declined slightly.

Possible in Real Life, Possible in SL, Get Off It, Benjamin Duranske - (USA)
Am Radio and Bettina Tizzy Copy Andrew Wyeth Oh, dear God, Benjamin Duranske is at it again, deciding all on his own, without benefit of due process, law, or actual cases and judicial rulings, what is "illegal" and what is "criminal" regarding copyright matters. How is he able to do this? Don't lawyers have ethical rules that prevent them from describing actions as "illegal" when there are no laws to prescribe such acts? Don't they have ethical restraints against pronouncing persons guilty of

John Dingell presents actual facts on health care reform - (USA)
So normally I don’t do much cut-and-paste posts since I prefer to run my own mouth. But I figure this issue of health care reform is far too important – and far too complex -for me to even begin to try and navigate the ins and outs on my own when there are far more qualified folk out there who can do it far better than me. Michigan’s own U.S. Rep. John Dingell definitely qualifies since he has been pushing this issue for decades, almost as long as I’ve been alive. Literally. The following op

New York Times Misleads on Taliban Role in Opium Trade - (USA)
The New York Times reported this week that the Taliban have cut back on poppy cultivation and is stockpiling opium, grossly overstating the group’s role in the Afghanistan drug trade. “Afghanistan has produced so much opium in recent years,” the Times reported Thursday, “that the Taliban are cutting poppy cultivation and stockpiling raw opium in an effort to support prices and preserve a major source of financing for the insurgency, Antonio Maria Costa, the executive director of the United Nat

Rethinking “Sex Crimes” and Sex Offender Registries - (USA)
The Economist magazine has just released an important feature article entitled, “ Sex Laws: Unjust and Ineffective .” In an indirect way, the article makes a point that I have been trying to get across in my work on this issue : If you want to keep your kids safe from real sex offenders, we need to scrap our current sex offender registries and completely rethink the way we define and punish sex offenses in this country. That’s because, currently, a significant percentage of those people lis
