Yippee, it's the 12th of the tenth month again. This is the day that all over the world people get a day off work if they've got that sort of job so they may reflect what being Hispanic is about & how jolly good Colombus was for being credited with discovering India. It offers a wide range of people from South Americans to Basques & Catalans to demonstrate that they are not in any way Hispanic & have no commonwealth with Spain or her democracy & then get arrested for it. Whilst on the other side of the wondrous spectrum of humanity it offers people a chance to look at the army in Madrid & the annual hissing of Zapatero in the minute of silence...........something for everyone........ read full story / add a comment

(from last week's New Scientist - I'm publishing this in the inter-national public interest...) "We don’t need environmental evangelicals to tell us that sustainable development is a good idea. Yet, if that is our goal, we are heading in the wrong direction - with the exception of Cuba. So says the first study to examine the ecological impact of changing lifestyles around the globe. read full story / add a comment

......"If you're going to tell people they're wrong & unsportsmanlike you have to direct their energies elsewhere"..... I realise & so do other regular contributors that there's a lot of anti-China sentiment floating about. It's quite understandable considering the Mattel Toy corporation scandal earlier this year which misled the world into thinking they were expected to send back their Barbie dolls because Chinese factory workers had poisoned them, only to learn later it was Mattel Toy Corp's manufacturing instructions which were at fault. & of course since the mid-19th century it was been impossible to treat on anti-chinese sentiment without mentioning Lama-ism. So a spot of news for those who hold Lama-ism in great esteem. "The democratically-elected Tibetan government-in-exile (TGIE) has challenged China over a new law designed to limit Tibetan Buddhism’s role in identifying reincarnated lamas." read full story / add a comment

The Republic of Argentina shares many sociohistorical parallels with the Republic of Ireland. Both have been traditionally conservative, christian nations, with the Roman Catholic Church having a privileged position of power in all areas of public life. Even so, due to massive demonstrations and strong activist commitment, coupled with horrifying stories which came to the attention of the press, it became impossible for the government to stay impassive any longer. While abortion hasn't become legal in Argentina, this article will explore its history, the parallels with Ireland, and recent developments which may be opening the way for safe and legal abortion in the South American nation. read full story / add a comment

This morning the State gave assurances to the Council of Europe that the health and Safety of Irish prisoners would be upheld. This unusual occurence happened because it is the second such report from outside the state which highlights the problems in our prisons. Both the Amnesty International report for 2006 and the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture highlighted the murder of Gary Douch in a holding cell int the basement of Mountjoy and the continued medieval practices of slopping out in that prison. The Committee visited ten Garda stations, seven prisons and the Central Mental Hospital. The report is damning. read full story / add a comment
