From a married lady to young, single sisters
Posted by Shemuses from
It's funny the perspective that time gives. Occasionally I see a young sister made crazy by society's romantic expectations and I want to reach down from my lofty perch of 30+ years of life experience, grab her and say, "It will all work out...truly it will." I think of my early 20-something self, so worried about being paired up with someone. I admit that in some romantic entanglements back then, I forgave when I shouldn't have, overlooked what should have been obvious, gave up things that ought to have been sacred and a few times tried to make Mr. Right out of Mr. Wrong for Me.

Interview: Kavita Ramdas, Global Fund for Women
Posted by Shemuses from World Changing
"I think there are many different ways in which you define leadership. As a feminist, and as a feminine feminist, I truly believe that we don't do a very good job in the United States of believing that you can lead by serving, and I think the United States needs to think deeply about being in service of the rest of the world." -Kavita Ramdas, President and CEO, Global Fund for Women.

Chinese Pollution = Increase in Cancer
Posted by bugaloo from
In attempting to increase its economic development, the Chinese regime has managed to increase its mortality rates. China is one of the most polluted countries in the world, if not the most polluted.
Statistics furnished by the World Bank are astonishing: 16 of the 20 most polluted cities in the world are located in China; 90% of urban groundwater in China is contaminated; it is estimated that circa 900,000 people die every year from air and water pollution.
Highly toxic heavy metals such as lead and mercury contaminate cultivable terrain thus poisoning the food, while the number of Chinese citizens who die due to lung cancer and other serious respiratory diseases is constantly increasing....

Racism and the Calculus of Comparative Suffering
Posted by Shemuses from Counter Punch
Disasters bring out the best and worst in people. On the one hand, millions of folks respond to the suffering of their fellow human beings with compassion, concern, and even significant financial assistance when needed. Be it a hurricane, an earthquake, tornadoes or the recent massive flooding in the Midwestern United States, the hearts, minds, and often wallets of large numbers of the nation's people are with those in need. And on the other hand, there's Rush Limbaugh, who has decided to use the flooding in Iowa not to demonstrate compassion, but as an opportunity to make derogatory statements about poor black folks: specifically those caught by the flooding in New Orleans after Katrina in 2005.

Outrage brews as Ottawa set to honour Morgentaler
Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail
The divisive debate about abortion rights in Canada is poised to erupt once again as Henry Morgentaler, the country's best-known abortion-rights crusader, is expected to be named to the Order of Canada. Even before the official announcement, Dr. Morgentaler's name attached to the highest honour in the land ignited a firestorm of controversy yesterday, with online blogs, people opposed to abortion and pro-choice supporters wading into the Order of Canada committee's decision.

Things would be different if Insite were in Montreal
Posted by Shemuses from Canada
Imagine Vancouver's supervised injection site being situated not in the Downton Eastside, but in Montreal's gritty east end. The Harper Conservatives, so careful not to interfere in Quebec affairs, would stay as far away from the issue as politically possible.

Testosterone gene could offer men competitive edge in sports: study
Posted by MikeS from CBC
The headline for the story is a wee bit on the misleading side because it says the gene could offer men a competitive advantage. In fact what it really COULD offer is an edge to men who cheat. A significant difference. CBC Radio also managed to suggest possbile racial discrimination because the genotype is more prevelant in Asian men, so if you're doing well and happen to be Asian, the suggestion is you might be cheating. Nevertheless it is an interesting example of how a person's genotype reacts with our environment and medicine.
