Approve Statehood for Palestine

How can the United States government deny the application for statehood to the U.N. by Palestine? It has been 45 years of occupation and apartheid by Israel over these people.

GOP Presidential Candidates Should Be Ashamed About Family Size

It was appalling to hear the Republican presidential candidates beaming about the sizes of their families in the debate the other night. Overpopulation is causing our planet to be pushed past the limits of sustainability. Our oceans are overfished and dying. Our air is polluted and causing climate change. We are depleting our aquifers and polluting our water supply. Our forests are being destroyed for farmland as we destroy the earth's biodiversity. One in seven inhabitants of planet earth are without adequate food. A large family is no longer a source of pride but a sign of ignorance and selfishness and a cause for shame.

Recrut Somewhere Else

Obama said in the state of the union that college campuses should open themselves to military recruiters and ROTC. So we can attack the next Iraq that was not a threat? So we can trust the next corporate elected face man to lead us into a soulless slaughter? The Nobel Prize for Peace? Really? With due respect Mr. President, letting gays into the military does not solve the needless horrors of Iraq, that your administration chose not to investigate. Until you investigate and hold those accountable that committed war crimes, you have sent a message to the world that U.S politicians are immune from prosecution. And you want us to open up to military recruiters?
