    • Canadian prof in China infuriates censors

      Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail

      His book argues that Western-style democracy and human rights are not necessarily a universal good to be imposed on Asian countries. Instead, the West should respect the advantages of traditional Asian values, including Confucianism, which can often be superior to Western-style democracy and human rights, he says.

    Canada to seek climate deal with Obama

    This sounds like a good news story but iin reallity the Canadian government wants to secure concessions for that massive greenhous gas emmitter called the tar sands. They want to play America’s energy security worries off of climate change to ensure that the growth of the oil sands can continue unabated under supposedly tighter carbon emmissions restrictions.

    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
