It’s wrong to blame ‘overpopulation’ for climate change Sarah Kaplan (Michael Parkin for The Washington Post)
“Why is the impact of population growth infrequently mentioned? A couple producing more than two children will impact carbon emissions to a greater degree than any other activity. That impact cannot be offset by any practicable lifestyle change; switching to vegetarianism doesn’t come close to balance the scales.” James, Lebanon, Pa. When the Census Bureau released data recently showing that the United States population is growing at its slowest rate in almost a century, an old question reappeared in environmental reporters’ inboxes: Do we need a smaller population to save our warming planet?

A law student in a Scottish university is facing disciplinary action after saying in an online seminar about transgender issues that women were born with female genitals and that the difference in physical strength between men and women is a fact.
Lisa Keogh, a 29-year-old mother of two boys, is in her final year at Abertay University, in the city of Dundee. She was reported to university officials by classmates and faces a formal probe for allegedly offensive and discriminatory comments.
This is lunacy, Ms Keogh told the Daily Mail. “’How is it OK for a child to be learning that women have vaginas at school, but not OK for me to say it in a university seminar? It doesn’t make sense.”
Daily Mail which exemplifies everything that is heartless and brainless about the right-to-die movement.
Yesterday R. J. Andrews wrote that he was “thinking of bumping myself off in the next year”.
Why? Well, he is honest enough to acknowledge that he is “not one of those whom the State obliges to live in terrible pain”.
But if that is not the reason, what is? It is this: he knows he has “accomplished all I want to; my ears and eyes are fading; and I’m fed up with mowing the lawn”.
Furthermore, he can’t see why he “should have to go through the discomfort of any of the usual methods when a medic could make it hassle-free”.
killing Democracy Once And For All: The Global Elite s Coupd etat That Is Destroying Life As We Know It

Politically savvy individuals know that democracy has rarely existed and probably never outside small groups of humans who deliberately organize themselves to share power or grant it temporarily to one or a small number of people for a particular purpose. In most contexts, ‘democracy’ is simply a label used to deceive the unwary into believing that ordinary people have a say in how we are governed. But this has never been the case in any political framework on a larger scale.

Whatever victories have apparently been achieved in the long struggle to achieve political representation, human rights, dignity, economic justice, cultural and gender identity, ecological sustainability and other causes dear to the hearts of those who have struggled, the elite (local, national or global) has always retained control and merely surrendered the minimum necessary to keep the bulk of the human population submissive.
