Daily Kos: What's Really Pissing Me Off
Daily Kos: What's Really Pissing Me Off: "For those who might suggest this is one of those damned 'social issues' that gets the Democrats in trouble on election day, let's not forget that it's at its core a class war, as Stupak-Pitts makes quite clear. Affluent women will always find a way to find a safe and legal abortion. Insurance or no insurance.
Stupak-Pitts may only be another nibble, but it is the cumulative effect that matters. Eventually, lots of little nibbles equal the entire pie. Those who say our vigorous, uncompromising opposition to it is an irrational overreaction ought to be ashamed of themselves."

You thought the US pledged 10% of its H1N1 vaccine to the WHO for developing countries? Bwa-ha-ha. You obviously mistook us for a country who was planning to donate something other than 10% of what we were going to throw away anyway.
Meanwhile, Australia is behaving "egregious[ly]" by not giving us all the vaccine we want, before they have enough. Shame on them.

GRAIN | New from GRAIN | 10-2009 - Small farmers can cool the world
GRAIN | New from GRAIN | 10-2009 - Small farmers can cool the world: "Soils contain enormous amounts of carbon, mostly in the form of organic matter. Evidence provided in this issue of Seedling shows that industrial agriculture over the last half century has led to the leaching out into the atmosphere of large amounts of this carbon. A coordinated global programme, based on simple farming principles, could gradually put back into the soil the organic matter lost over past decades. Available data shows that within 50 years we could capture at least 450 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide, more than two thirds of the current excess CO2 in the atmosphere."
