Bulgarian government silently moves to open almost half of Pirin National Park to construction despite public concerns
Sofia, 29 December 2017 - In a surreptitious move, the government of

of the park, a World Heritage site home to bears, chamois, wolves and
centuries-old pine forests. The decision, announced a few days before

Philippines, Sung Kim, recently congratulated the Philippines' armed

National League for Democracy (NLD) political party and her supporters

Russian Hacking and the "Permanent Emergency"
Sometimes I find a book, article, or poem that provides a catharsis
because it so resonates with my analysis of, and emotional tenor

One must read it in full to appreciate the full scope of his analysis
but I will except a brief passage here: Lears, Jackso

The Poison Papers: Disregard for the People's Will
Hat Tip: Thanks Dave! Protecting human health and the environment upon

legislation. A number of years ago one of my graduate stud

Happy New Year
It's been quite a year. And I make no predictions about the one to
come. I do now that it will -- at least where we are -- start out cold.
Beyond that, my crystal ball is foggy. But each new year brings the
possibility of hope and wisdom. May you experience both in 2018. Image:

Silence Means Consent
Justin Trudeau's silence is deafening. As Donald Trump steamrolls the
UN, Trudeau keeps his mouth shut. Michael Harris writes : In case you
missed it, Trump just tried to turn the UN General Assembly into a
congregation of whores. Faced with world-wide opposition to his
Jerusalem decision, Trump reverted to Goodfellas rules: If other
countries dared to denounce him over a foreign policy decision
Dionne On Democracy
As the year comes to an end, E.J. Dionne writes a meditation on
Democracy. He starts with first principles: In embracing democracy, as
the historian James Kloppenberg has written, we are standing up for
three contested principles: popular sovereignty, autonomy and equality.
We are also embracing three premises: deliberation, pluralism and
reciprocity. Certain things follow from those three premis
Segal's Right
I admire Hugh Segal. He has always had the courage to speak truth to
power. In this morning's Globe and Mail he advocates welcoming the many
Haitians who are presently fleeing the United States: There are
commitments that involve more or less risk, and more or less genuine
impact. Often, when a country acts clearly and decisively in a way that
underlines its own values, that is when its impact is
Ain't No Daddy At All
Much has been written about the return to fascism under Donald Trump.
But, Henry Giroux writes , not much ink has been spilled on the subject
of Trump's war on children: Finance capitalism now drives politics,
governance and policy in unprecedented ways. And it’s more than willing
to sacrifice the future of young people for short-term political and
economic gains, if not democracy itself. In an a
Will They Do It?
Eugene Robinson writes that many people feared what would happen in the
first year of Donald Trump's presidency. It turns out that the year was
worse than they feared: Many of us began 2017 with the consoling
thought that the Donald Trump presidency couldn’t possibly be as bad as
we feared. It turned out to be worse. Did you ever think you would hear a
president use the words “very fine people” t

What's with Jerusalem?
You could read many thousands of words about the Realpolitik of the

It's that time of year again when I try to prune my book stack to take
