The 24th of March 2007 was the 27th anniversary of the death of Archbishop Oscar Romero who was murdered in San Salvador at the orders of Roberto D'Aubisson. For the first time in 26 years the annual mass to commerorate him was refused permission in the friary of Adam and Eve's Church in Dublin. Adam and Eve's Church is a Franciscan Basillica on the Liffey quays just opposite the Four Courts and has educated many Missionaries who work in all parts of the world. Before Romero was murdered he was denounced by the Catholic church and ignored by the Carter Regime. http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/Os...omero ... read full story / add a comment

This interesting article from a hearing earlier thos week into safety at energy refineries makes scary reading for anyone who is being forced to live with one of these monsters on their doorstep. It seems that in the first six weeks of this year, there were 43 reported serious incidents inthe United States, any one of which could have turned into a major disaster. A former member of Shell's staff spoke about two incidents at the refinery where he worked (in Washington). One of these was a near miss but could easily have resulted in a huge fire cloud, the other caused six deaths among contractors. It seems in a majority of cases, poor safety procedures are to blame. Looking back on the 2005 fire I was reminded of this quotation from a Texas City Resident. Mr. Herman Batist: "Anytime you live by a plant like this, you've got to worry about this kind of situation. They don't happen very often, but when they do, the first thing you check is which way the wind is blowing" ... read full story / add a comment

Wind down from your artificially induced stress/pace and confront your personal reality – take stock for a moment. Your existence has been confined to sustaining and maintaining a system that makes ever-increasing demands on your liberty and freedom – the pillars upon which joy and satisfaction are built/derived! The frenzied pace of western society is largely the result of the manic need for ever increasing profits and greater concentrations of wealth in the fewest possible hands, which inevitably places higher demands on those at the bottom of the financial scale. Obtaining wealth is simply a matter of applying unfair downward pressure in favour of upward flowing benefits; wealth is not created it is the result of manipulation and/or theft – the historical record bears this out. Put simply, profit is exploitation/theft! ... read full story / add a comment

Low Carbon Life. “low carbon” life will require changes in how we live. It will require a shift in public consciousness, as well as a willingness to do without conveniences that may now seem essential. Energy inefficiency and waste are so woven into the fabric of life that it is both very easy for some and very hard for others to change. The business of climate change will create demand for innovation, and will change and reshape markets immediately. Investors will be asking questions to identify companies that will succeed or fail in an environment of increased climate change risk. ... read full story / add a comment
