      Posted by theangryindian from Projectcensored

      According to journalist Jason Leopold, sources at former Cheney company Halliburton allege that, as recently as January of 2005, Halliburton sold key components for a nuclear reactor to an Iranian oil development company.

    Social Investing: The Golden State's not-so-golden goose

    These cash differences are quite small for investment funds of this size. The costs of investing in smoking may be even higher. Investing responsibly isn’t free. Investing in damaging industries is also not free, the costs are just externalized and borne by taxpayers and the environment later. This article is very poorly written.

    The Culture of Meat

     A humanity that would domesticate is not healthy.  Exploitation and slavery come to mind, as well as torture.  Given all the information available about the harms of animal products on the human body I am flabbergasted that people accept this ‘meat washing’.

    incorrect overdose of simple proteins

    no animal that eats meat naturally has to cook it

    intestine inflammation

    reduced energy and fatigue

    Maybe because I have never eaten it and observed the effects on others that I take this no intentional harm abuse or consumption of life stance.  good book: Eternal Treblinka

    Why can’t NYC companies retain employees of color?

    This is why I agree with affirmative action.  Opponents say, just let business make the right decision to hire the best candidate.  Well, this is what you get when people are left to do the right thing, they intentionally or unintentionally make the wrong decision. People naturally want to be around people that look like them.  Especially businesses need help with integration, otherwise the people with the most power ethnically will continue to pass it to people that look like them. Have you ever been to an office party where everyone comes in together but the people that work together end up sitting at the same tables?  Well, the same thing occurs in all countries in all industries around the world.  Does it seem unfair to a few that do not see a level playing field when their places are taken for the sake of diversity?  Of course it does, but a few are inconvenienced for the benefit of the whole society that sees a diverse workforce which then inspires others to work hard.  The truth is that there will never be a level playing field unless it is tilted back to level to include minorities.

    Jeff, Jeff, Jeff,

    First of all have you ever been to Madrid or London. Al Qaida will kill any Jew, Christian or Hindu they run across and then reload.  A border is not a good defense system for terrorism.  Second, the war and the value of the dollar have weakened us. It is just peculiar that it wasn’t Jimmy Carter who did it to us this time. Third of all the US owns the Stanley Cup (ever been to Detroit ?).  Forth where is Robert Rubin when we need him most !
