We vote, things get worse

No Force, No Fraud
by Bob Smith

04/05/07

As was true over much of the nation last autumn, dissatisfied Minnesota voters tossed out Republicans. Unfortunately, that was a step out of the frying pan into the fire. Voters didn’t like what they were getting, but it hasn’t taken long for them to discover that what they got in exchange is no better, perhaps worse. Nothing about the war has changed, and government spending is going even higher. … Election after election, the voters turn out one party in favor of their only other choice, only to have to do it again next election. The Democratic and Republican parties have locked this nation into a two-party system to the point that neither of them feels responsible to the voters...

Conference approves climate change report

Chicago Sun-Times

04/06/07

An international global warming conference approved a report Friday warning of dire threats to the Earth and to mankind — from increased hunger to the extinction of species — unless the world adapts to climate change and halts its progress. Agreement came after an all-night session during which key sections were deleted from the draft and scientists angrily confronted government negotiators who they feared were watering down their findings. … It is the second of four reports from the IPCC this year; the first report in February laid out the scientific case for how global warming is happening. This second report is the ’so what’ report, explaining what the effects of global warming will be...

Inspector hears mast argument

By Saiqa Chaudhari

A GOVERNMENT planning inspector is to rule whether a 47ft mobile phone mast in Crompton Way poses a risk to pedestrians and vehicles and should be pulled down.

Telecommunication giant T-Mobile erected the mast on the footpath next to the Shell petrol station and in front of Tonge Cricket Club last year.

The mast is designed to provide coverage to Crompton, Bradshaw, Hall i' th' Wood and areas around Tonge Moor.

A mix-up in dates by the Bolton Council led to T-Mobile believing it had been granted permission to install the equipment.

But the council refused to give retrospective permission and ordered the company to pull down the mast as well as remove three equipment cabinets, claiming they were a potential hazard.

T-Mobile appealed the decision and yesterday, a day-long hearing was held in front of government inspector Paul Taylor, who heard arguments from the council and T-Mobile.

Graeme Mitchell, Bolton's group planning officer, said: "The mast obstructs the view of people crossing the road at that point, and the vehicles would not get a good view of them."

Council officers said the risk would be heightened as m ore people visited the cricket club and would try to cross the road to the pub and supermarket.

The council also argued the equipment narrowed the path and prevented pedestrians passing each other safely.

Ian Calderbank, principal engineer for Bolton's highways department, said: "A person pushing a buggie would find it difficult to pass if there was another pedestrian. It is likely it would cause one of the pedestrians to step in the carriageway to pass."

The concerns were dismissed by by T-Mobile and James Bevis, representing the company, said: "Pedestrians would stand close to the kerb and the mast would not obstruct the view.

"The road is wide and vehicles would not be close to the kerb as they drove by. Pedestrians could walk down to the crossing on the road."

He also pointed to other street furniture on the highway which also obstruct views, such as trees.

Fellow representative for the company, Robert Linnell added: "No-one would launch themselves in the road without first looking around."

Mr Bevis added: "The width provided between the mast and the cabinet was adequate to allow people to pass each other.

"The footpath is lightly used. There is ample visibility for pedestrians to see if someone is approaching in a wheelchair, so they can slow down and let them pass."

He also said the cricket club would not attract huge crowds like the famous ground The Oval.

A decision on the mast is expected in three weeks.

Curious Coincidences Over Fate of Iranians Kidnapped in Iraq

Tehran's liberation on Wednesday, April 4, of fifteen British sailors has "nothing to do" with the liberation twenty-four hours earlier of an Iranian diplomat who mysteriously disappeared two months ago in Iraq. Neither does it have anything to do with the announcement a few hours later in Tehran that five other Iranian "diplomats," captured by the American Army January 11 in Iraq, will receive a visit by an adviser from their Iraq embassy.

Civilian Court Sides With "Conscientious Objector"

University of California Santa Cruz student Robert Zabala joined the Marine Corps thinking it would be a "place where he could find security" after the death of his grandmother in 2003. But when he began boot camp in June
2003, Zabala said he had an ethical awakening that would not allow him to kill other people. He was particularly appalled by the boot camp's attempts to desensitize the recruits to violence. Zabala sued and on Mar. 29, a federal judge in Northern California overruled the military justice system, ordering the Marine Corps to discharge Zabala as a conscientious objector within 15 days.

Foxford fights 30-metre phone mast

by Fiona McGarry

More than 50 residents of Foxford are fighting a bid by a mobile phone company to build a 30-metre mast in the Clossaghroe area.

This is the second attempt by O2 to erect the mast. The first application, made in November, was ruled invalid because planners found the site notice was “very high up on a telephone pole” and not readable from the public road. Planners also told the company the mast seemed to go against the County Development Plan.

As with O2’s initial application, its second approach to planners has generated huge local resistance. Fifty-two people calling themselves “the residents of Clossaghroe and the surrounding townlands” have lodged another detailed objection against the mast.

The letter, which is signed by John Sheridan and 52 others, objects to the mast, saying it would be “visually obtrusive in every way in a beautiful rural setting and not fitting with the surrounding area in any way”. The objection also notes that there several homes and young families in the area, and points out that Department of the Environment guidelines advise against masts within 500 metres of residences.

The presence of a number of other telecommunications masts in the same area outside Foxford is also noted by objectors, who ask which will be the next company seeking to erect a mast in their area. “It is appalling to have to accept such decisions against our will, when there are many local families having planning permission difficulties in this area,” the objectors have told planners.

Objectors have also drawn attention to a letter sent by Mayo County Council to O2 on foot of its first application for the 30-metre mast. While planners advised the company that their application seemed to contravene the County Development Plan, and said that a revised plan should be submitted; objectors claim the current project is identical to the first one.

Additional concerns relate to the proximity of the mast site to the scenic Foxford Way, a popular walking trail that passes through Clossaghroe. “We ask you what kind of message would be given to the visiting tourists that use this walk. If they approach Clossaghroe, they are to be faced with the sight of a fenced compound and a 30-metre tower in a beautiful scenic area. The message would not be a positive one. Especially at a time when the Government is investing approximately €20 million in attracting hill-walkers to this country,” the objection says.

The deadline for public submissions on the mast has now closed and planners are expected to make a decision or seek further information on the project by April 15.

What's Happening to the Bees?

Beekeeper James Doan first began finding empty hives last fall. Entire bee colonies seemed to have up and vanished, leaving their honey behind. Noting the unusually wet fall in Hamlin, New York, he blamed the weather. Unable to forage in the rain, the bees probably starved, he reasoned. But when deserted hives began appearing daily, "we knew it was something different," he says.

An Arid West No Longer Waits for Rain

A Western drought that began in 1999 has continued after the respite of a couple of wet years that now feel like a cruel tease. But this time people in the driest states are not just scanning the skies and hoping for rescue. Preparing for worst-case outcomes, the seven states that draw water from the Colorado River - Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico in the upper basin and California, Arizona and Nevada in the lower basin - and the United States Bureau of Reclamation, which manages the river, are considering plans that lay out what to do if the river cannot meet the demand for water. Some experts predict that prospect will occur in about five years.

Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence

Speech delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on April 4, 1967

"A time comes when silence is betrayal." That time has come for us in relation to Vietnam.- - I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today -- my own government. For the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake of hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent.

Time to break the silence

The Nation
by Katrina vanden Heuvel

04/02/08

Since 1865, when it was founded by Northern abolitionists, The Nation has always believed in the liberating power of truth, of conviction, of conscience, and of fighting for causes lost and found. And like our founders, the magazine has an abiding belief that there is no force so potent in politics as a moral issue. One of the great moral figures of our country’s history, Martin Luther King Jr. was a correspondent for The Nation — traveling the South in the early 1960s and filing annual dispatches for the magazine on the state of civil rights. In 1967, Dr. King traveled to Los Angeles … to give the speech that would align the armies of the Civil Rights Movement with the rapidly expanding national protest against the Vietnam War. It was at this gathering, before an overflow crowd at the Beverly Hills Hilton on February 25, that Dr. King first came out, courageously, eloquently and unequivocally , against the war. Two months later, on April 4th, King delivered his famous antiwar sermon at Riverside Church in New York City...

Since that battle, his message has too often been scrubbed clean of anything that would hold the nation accountable for making racial equality an economic fact of life."
