Again – a pseudo-scientific modern morality play about the guilt of Western consumerism.

And – what a coincidence! – the solution they proposed then, as now, was centralized goverment control of our lives – for our own good, of course, because The Rest Of Us can’t be trusted to think rationally like our betters.

I'm pretty impartial about the issue as I think people in general are overrated and as a man, who am I to dictate to a woman what she should or should not do with her body? However, I don't want my tax dollars going to subsidize irresponsible behavior. If you play, you've got to pay. Me subsidizing someone's welfare lifestyle is plenty bad enough, I don't need to support more racist organizations like planned parenthood and the janksters that work there as well. Maybe like a three strikes/you're on your own rule would be good. :) In the FSU, abortion WAS birth control.

The post includes a brief mention of the Hamas claim that Jews were responsible for the Shoah. Sadly for me and for you, I do have to make a living sometimes and I ran out of time when writing that post and had to take a break. So relax, it will probably be published later today or not at all. We do not have enough active writers to cover everything all the time.

Today there were several major issues of importance to the world Jewish community besides Yomhashoah such as 1) Hamas's (BTW now called The Friends of Jimmy Carter) gift to the Jewish people on Yomhashoah of a TV program explaining how the satanic Jews created the Shoah to kill off our mentally and physically handicapped: http://hotair.com/archives/2008/05/01/video-hamas-tv-blows-the-lid-off-the-holocaust/ , and 2) a group of British self-hating c*** s****** Jews wrote an open letter stating that they will not commemorate nor celebrate Israel's 60th celebration because Israel was "founded on terrorism, massacres and the dispossession of another people from their land. We cannot celebrate the birthday of a state that even now engages in ethnic cleansing, that violates international law, that is inflicting a monstrous collective punishment on the civilian population of Gaza and that continues to deny to Palestinians their human rights and national aspirations." Neither of these were blogged about here and I wonder why right leaning sites like LGF and Hotair bring more attention to these serious issues than a site dedicated to Judaism. Other than that, I love the stuff covered here and enjoy visiting, reading, thinking, and commenting. Maybe you guys just need to spread out the spectrum of Jewish opinion here as you can tell many of us atypical Jews frequent the site often. Adam does have a point.

Partly the reasons are natural ones (cooler climates were recorded for years succeeding e.g. wars and major volcano eruptions as the dirt in the atmosphere served as a reflector to a large part of sunrays, so warmer years could be tracked for when the atmosphere eventually cleaned up), partly human induced (air pollution). Just that at no point in history there has been a world population and a demand for food as well as resources as there currently is; so either we'll cope with the concept of people migrating in the billions to make do with their environmental needs or the possibility of climatic change, if even just for a few centuries, and ways to limit its effects. Just standing by and saying, "I was right. Had you not crossed the street, the car wouldn't have hit you to begin with, so blame yourself", is not a desirable and mature attitude. As for the opposition to genetic research, transgenics and stemcell research rather, over here it's mostly religiously motivated. As the stories of the expulsion from gan eden as well as the failure in building the tower of Babel show us, our sages of old wanted us to understand that when we try to play god, we're prone to fail and destroy ourselves. As for stemcell research, the stemcells are generally taken from aborted fetuses; depending on the country of origin, the mother's consent is not needed (those cells can also be used in cosmetic products / treatments). I'm not familiar in how far in your circles people learn about abortions, but over here, there are quite a few steps to go through to minimize the number of abortions out of a mood (the doctor who determines the pregnacy may not carry out the abortion; there's a compulsory meeting with a social / family counsellor before one can go through with an abortion; abortions are generally illegal but will not be persecuted under certain circumstances, e.g. they must be carried out before the 13th week of pregnacy, and can be carried out later if the mother's life is at risk), which tries to ensure that women will take that decision seriously. (Off topic: to brief you in, during abortions a powerful vaccuum hose first tears off the fetus' arms and legs, then the corpus is torn off the head. Since the diametre of the head usually is too large for the vaccuum hoses, the doctor carrying out the abortion reaches into the uterus with a pair of pliers to crash the skull before sucking it out. Remaining pieces of the fetus can lead to serious infections; the whole procedure increases the risk of later miscarriages and infertility.)

As for every Jew being related to some scientists or another, that's a generalization that qualifies as an example of "positive anti-Semitism" as it attributes positive characteristica to Jews based on their religious affiliation alone in a generalizing manner.
