Surprise Surprise: Post-"Revolution" Libyan Government Is Viewed As Worse Than Former Gaddafi Regime
*The handiwork of the next president of the United States.* Whoever believes that elected politicians better serve the people than benevolent dictators should take a long look at present day Libya and Iraq.

The incompetent and corrupt political crop who replaced them, who tout their legitimacy via the scam called the democratic process, can't even manage the basics. *An excerpt from, "Qaddafi Supporters Re-emerge in a Disillusioned Libya" b... more »

Cue the triumphal chorus: Amnesty International passes policy supporting decriminalization of sex work
This is an amazing day for the sex workers' rights movement with the news that Amnesty International has approved its draft policy supporting decriminalization of adult sex work. "What will it all mean?" asked one of my friends. I admit to not being sure what it will change in the immediate future. But as a symbol, it's significant when the world's most recognized human rights organization acknowledges that criminalizing sex work violates the rights (and threatens the lives) of sex workers. I've had the good fortune of getting to know a lot of sex workers over the last ... more »

Why are Radioactive Emissions Increasing at Fukushima Daiichi?
Fukushima Daiichi continues to contaminate the atmosphere with radionuclides.

And as I walked through them, we were all there together, but each of us quite alone. And quite frightened.
