    • Judge Limits New York Police Taping

      Posted by Jeff from New York Times

    McClellan was lied to …royally screwed by Cheney and the Bushies. This isn’t that surprising.

    Voters in Ecuador Approve Constitution and Rights of Nature

    Read more here:

    "Ecuador is now the first country in the world to codify a new system of environmental protection based on rights," stated Thomas Linzey, Executive Director of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund.

    "With this vote, the people of Ecuador are leading the way for countries around the world to fundamentally change how we protect nature," added Mari Margil, Associate Director of the Legal Defense Fund.

    Article 1 of the new "Rights for Nature" chapter of the Ecuador constitution reads:  "Nature or Pachamama, where life is reproduced and exists, has the right to exist, persist, maintain and regenerate its vital cycles, structure, functions and its processes in evolution.  Every person, people, community or nationality, will be able to demand the recognitions of rights for nature before the public bodies."

    that’s cool, humans taking responsibilities for their actions. our actions affect ecosystems which in turn affects us. I don’t think the U.S. will ever do that. The U.S. thinks they own the world and everyone in it from animals to "foreigners". The U.S. says "The world’s my oyster. you are my *****es." BWAHAHAHAHA!
