Is bicycling safer than driving?
jklugman
by jklugman  10-5-2009    5
 On this forum, a participant misuses statistics to show that bicycling is safer than driving. These statistics do not prove anything about the inherent safety of either mode of transportation. (the first comment is a sarcastic response by an anti-bicyclist commenting on a Philadelphia bicyclist who got critically injured by a car on a busy intersection).

State Report: Philadelphia swim club discriminated against black children
jklugman
by jklugman  9-24-2009    1
 Earlier this summer, a dispute between an affluent, white-dominated suburban private swim club and a camp serving minority children caught the attention of the national news. The camp accused the club of refusing to serve the kids because of members' racial bias. A state report just released bears out the club's claims. In e-mails complaining about the camp's visit, members expressed "racial animus" and "racially coded comments".

Do Tax Cuts Starve the Beast? No.
jklugman
by jklugman  9-7-2009    2
  indeed, the point estimates suggest that tax cuts increase spending. The results also indicate that the main effect of tax cuts on the government budget is to induce subsequent legislated tax increases. Examination of four episodes of major tax cuts reinforces these conclusions.

Protesters demand justice for man injured at health care town hall
disenchantedcitizen
by disenchantedcitizen  8-10-2009    3
 Tea Party member starts brawl in town hall during health debate, gets injured and is now asking for donations for health bills because he has no insurance. Maybe this is how they think all Americans should pay their health care bills. Instead of putting an 'unfair' hardship on the poor health care providers, thereby cutting into their profits, we should instead ask for donations.

  Another oddity he noted was the story of young Israeli citizens, in this country illegally, who had set up a tripod camera on the roof of the warehouse where they worked and trained their camera on the Twin Towers shortly before the attacks. Witnesses told police the boys celebrated the attacks by joyfully jumping and slapping hands. Police held the men overnight and they were returned to Israel the next day. All this was reported in the mainstream media, but the story was immediately dropped. How did these Israelis know where to be and when to film the Trade Center disaster? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzl3juBt2Z8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtorXLa2JrE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS89vNH-eeY

Sane Republican Hunt
jklugman
by jklugman  8-2-2009   
 John Quiggin asks if there are any Republicans who reject all forms of delusion propounded by that party: delusionism... Birtherism Creationism... 9/11 Trutherism (not, in most cases, the “Bush knew” version, but the “Saddam organised it, via meetings in Prague” version) Crank medical theories: on passive smoking, the Terri Schiavo case, abortion-breast cancer link, AIDS reappraisal, claims about stem cells (to make it easy, getting any of these right will suffice) Rejection of plate tectonics... Bonus points if we can find one who’s not from Maine.

America's Hidden Nightmare for its Sick Poor
abailart
by abailart  7-27-2009    15
 It is part of the paradox that while, for instance, the USA is light years ahead of Europe in research into and treatment of cancers, its basic services lag far behind. The interest in universal healthcare is motivated surely by a response to what is available for the most vulnerable. Whatever, the 'interest' is surely worthwhile, and should be inflected by morality rather thanm rigid political dogma.

Charity can't do it all
jklugman
by jklugman  7-16-2009    2
 This is about a NFP child care center serving low income people in my home town. Because foundations are tightening their belts, the center is facing the choice to either close, raise its fees, or deal with the bureaucratic hassle of accepting federal/state funding. Child care is a damn important service for working families; that a foundation cut its funding to it so it could serve even more basic needs speaks volumes about the volunteer sector's capacity to deal with the problems of poverty US society is going to deal with. We can't just cut back on government services expecting charities and foundations to pick up the slack.

We Can't Afford to Ignore Global Warming Idiots

 You will never see science from the global warming idiots. The scientists, almost all of them, know it is a bunch of bunk. The select few are the ones selected to present an IPCC media report, which is one of the most dishonest reports in history. By the way, Masbury, the selct few includes the IPCC, who say in their report: IPCC, 2001, pg 94, which has never been amended or retracted. paraphrase: There has been no detected human signature on recent warming trends..( this was 2001 before the cooling trend had come into focus);;the recent warming could be natural.. There has never been a mechanism that supports a human signature in climate change. Recent studies, some recently posted here, continue to support that the models are fantasy. There has been NO cooling on other solar system bodies, yet there is recent warming detected on many of them. The fact is that if you believe in anthropogenic global warming you are not intelligent and open minded. You are simply a b
