There is a new article over on the oildrum.com website about: Peak Oil and Senegal. The author of the piece recently visited the country for himself and noted that they generate about 75% of their electricity by burning oil. This makes them very vulnerable to price increases since they are a relatively poor country and will have difficultly affording it. This story is interesting because it is probably a relatively good model of how Peak Oil will affect much of the Third World. read full story / add a comment

This meeting is the second in a series of public access meetings being organised by the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. It is being run by the Faculty of Public Health Medicine. The choice of topic - our relationship with alcohol - has been chosen because alcohol related problems are among the top three health problems globally according to the World Health Organisation. We know that in Ireland we have particular problems over and above most countries. The aim of the meeting is to generate public discussion on our alcohol problems and suggest solutions. There is no charge to attend but registration is required. read full story / add a comment

The grotesque and disgusting, pathological, lying coward Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard is cutting a comical figure as he flounders from one gaffe and blunder to another. Jumping straight from the ‘cubicle’ of support for a known racist and questionable character (Alan Jones) to the primitive, superstitious behaviour of stigmatising individuals suffering manageable maladies and preventing them from entering the country. Howard’s recent gesture of banning individuals with HIV is reminiscent of the all-male, ruling priest class of the Old Testament who banished women experiencing their menstrual cycle. Menstruating women once struck fear into the hearts of ignorant and primitive men – the primitivism of it all! Howard is exposing some extremely disturbing gender issues and phobias with his latest unenlightened attempt to manipulate Australian society. read full story / add a comment

One could almost feel sorry for highflying, right wing, media types who derive a living from exploiting the lowest aspects of human nature. But there is ‘no love lost’ around here and I imagine anywhere else. Media moguls are getting a taste of life at the receiving end, perhaps they may think twice before making IRRESPONSIBLE racist, vilifying comments at the expense of those in the least position to defend themselves. The results of negative media hype and racist remarks include foul abuse levelled at you, your wife and kids in public; being spat on for no reason other than your skin colour or religion, and the ugly culmination of all racist behaviour, the race riot (Cronulla, 2005). Are we sorry the purveyors of social division and slur are experiencing frustration at the lack of recourse and remedial action available to them – not on your life? read full story / add a comment |
