[Mainstream Parenting Resources] When Denial Kills: The EJ Scovill case « Mainstream Parenting ...: Further, Gordon has been rather vocal (see gay.com interview) saying that he suspects the reason Christine lied to his office and said Eliza Jane was fine days after seeing him and the reason Maggiore never brought her daughter back when she was, in fact, not improving is because he would have connected the dots – hmm…HIV positive mother, child never tested and child has illness that doesn’t clear in 3 weeks?

[Spiked] Floods: God's punishment for our eco-sins? | spiked: We may live in a hi-tech, turbo-powered global era, and yet pessimism and apprehension about the future dominate today’s political and cultural imagination. This fatalistic view of the floods really does matter: instead of treating the floods as relatively minor problems that we can contain through financial investment in Britain’s infrastructure, we have transformed them into a crisis of historic proportions that threatens our survival.

[Coase Colored Glasses] Coase Colored Glasses | Incentives and Driving Laws: I do not disagree that people should get some sort of punishment for this (fines), I just hold that unless it’s going to ruin the offender’s life (or seriously effect it ie. real jail time and fines not year/probation/etc) it won’t be a real deterrent because it’s so rare and ruining someone’s life on a freak occurrence is silly.

[物の哀れ (Mono no aware)] Kara no Kyoukai: Satsuiji Kohatsu (part 1) « 物の哀れ (Mono no aware): You could take this film to be a cautionary tale about how your best friend could end up holding a knife to your throat if you don’t keep your wits about you but in the Nasuverse there’s more to such things than that. I guess you have to exercise a suspension of disbelief to a certain degree, not to mention the fact that the seventh instalment will allegedly wrap up this particular story arc, but if you let yourself be immersed in its worldview without any reservations or cynical piss-taking you will I’m sure be able to appreciate its numerous merits.

[BBC News - Justin Webb's America] BBC - Justin Webb's America: Biden the (mostly) well-behaved: Oldsouth adds - "?And, now (drumroll, please) we have Vice-President Biden, President of the Senate, and one tragic happenstance away from the Presidency./I'm not so concerned that we have the next Dan Quayle./I am concerned that we have the next Henry Wallace, who served as VP under Roosevelt in his third term. He was a heartbeat away from the office, and utterly unqualified to take over at a time of incredible danger to the world.

[School Library Journal - Grade 5 and Up News] Grades 5 & Up - 11/1/2007 - School Library Journal: The two become friends, despite Elizabeth's self-confident punked-out style and T.J.'s timid conformism, and set off to meet an author who might be able to tell them more about Elizabeth's kind, the "Littles." When the two are separated, they embark on roughly parallel adventures. The narrative suddenly switches from a third-person telling to Elizabeth's first-person account, which is a bit jarring, but as the characters have very distinct personalities, the change in voice is a successful device for handling the suspense and pacing of their separate but interlinked adventures (T.J.'s part of the tale continues in third person).

[discontents] discontents - Human elements: As Janet McCalman demonstrates in Chapter 9, heat alone could not account for variations in infant mortality amongst poor immigrant populations in nineteenth-century Melbourne. Women and their babies did not merely suffer the heat of an unfamiliar climate, they suffered the heat of an overcrowded, unventilated slum.

[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum | Drumbeat: April 28, 2009: I am yet to see anything credible that debunks the claims made by these people but there has been little enthusiasm for them either. I would have thought that in the face of a serious pandemic, TPTB would be interested in a cheap, low tech treatment that has great potential with little or no side effects and very low toxicity (vitamin C is less toxic than water).

[Open Source] Open Source » Blog Archive » Hannah Arendt and the Banality of Evil: William James believed that “evil” was the result of short-circuited or misguided attempts to attain “good” results and I agree with that assessment but avoid the label “evil” and its religious connotations (as Nick notes its origin is in theistic religionâ€â™s dogma.) Itâ€â™s ironic because if one did believe in the existence of “evil”, again as William James notes: There have been more egregious inhuman acts of violence and wrongdoing committed in the name of religion than any other pretext.

[Ironwolf] Ironwolf » Blog Archive » Ron Weinland: Discussion Part 4: My questions and cautionary advisories are not aimed at the current members of the CoG-PKG (although, if ClaireUK and BizyGirl want to ask me any questions about where their church actually came from, I am more than willing to answer), they are aimed at the family members and friends of those who may be subscribing to Weinland’s beliefs.

[BBC Blog Network] BBC - Justin Webb's America: Why Clinton lost: meaning, Obama was not castigated for being African American or the victim of vicious racism in the ways that Clinton was doggedly bashed by the press no matter what she did, no matter what she said (and let me say that I read the BBC news because the coverage of the US is, Webb's comments notwithstanding, less a mouthpiece of the US goverment and its imperialist, normative, and highly problematic ideologies than any US news I've ever read/heard). The press' misogyny via Clinton was (and is) not only conspicuous but flagrant and brazen, whereas Obama was not the target of this country's widespread and insidious racism, at least not _nearly_ to the extent that Clinton was the victim of constant, blatant sexism, and by the press no less, who should be as objective as possible as journalists and not, then, reflect the voices and ideologies of cultural plebians and overt sexists who donned shirts that read "Life's a bitch;
