Forget the Noprdic diet. Try the Nordic tax plan. French, Japanese, and Scandinavian people don't live longer because they eat more nutritious food. They live longer because they live in more equal societies. The 26 community centers in Vancouver B.C. make all the difference.

How prognostications of doom encourage passivity over action
A whole manager generation will have to be retrained or change its ideas. Life is measured in money by such people becaused they learned this as the ultimate truth in their training, not because they are immoral or amoral. Countries that once amassed dollars to buy oil are now unloading dollars to diversity their holdings.

Hypocrisy at the Union-Tribune (tags)
The hounds at said paper, in their seemingly santimonious, blue nose, Puritanal zeal, apparently feel there is something particularly egregious about a sex scandal that denies the claustrophobic mores of the Judeo-Christian church. Who is it that really gives much of a rip whether strippers and nightclub owners make more money off sexually starved “adults” that “voluntarily” frequent such places?

Israel Shoots Palestinians in the Head (tags)
Funny how when Palestinians are killed, some IMC trolls feel remorse and have doubts about the role of the Israeli government and Sharon in the occupied territories. But when Palestinians kill, its like "fuck'em, kill'em all." But the same spite isn't leveled at the IDF that perpetuates massacres in the Gaza Strip. A double standard, no doubt.
