Campaigners have attacked the decision of the German government to support a far-reaching exemption for industry from new rules on carbon emissions permits on the grounds of competitiveness.

The Short End of Consumerism's Big Stick
Howdy Y'all! Ever wonder why we can afford to fill the empty spaces with loads and loads of cheap crap? Well thats easy: sweatshops!
Its no secret (actually its a BIG secret), that cutthroat capitalism has abandoned our historically unionizing workforce and gone to beautiful faraway places like Asia and South America in search of cheap labor to make cheap crap. The whacky laws and trade agreements the US has with various regions enable big businesses to build manufacturing plants that destroy the environment and destroy the people. Without education and action by the US consumer, there is little hope.
For your compassionate consideration, China Blue is an excellent documentary about sweatshops in China. In its entirety:
Here is a handy Sim Sweatshop Game for parents and kids to play so we can all get a little taste of the frustration and injustice in sweatshops.
And remember:
There is no 'I' in teamwork but there is in 'win' which is not in slavery!
(I get a little link-happy sometimes)

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IMPENDING DOOM?
Uh oh...
The irradiated and genetically modified chickens have come home to roost.
But fear not! There are some good ideas about how to help them.

UPDATE: New Seven Deadly Sins Apply to Corporate Personhood... or at least they should...
The only constant in the universe is change and The Vatican is no exception to that rule (nor is Barack Obama, for that matter). In their first attempt in..hell if I know, a looooong while, to keep up with the times, The Vatican has gently reinterpreted the ways and means to eternal hell.
From allheadlinenews.com:
Mgr Girotti named the new mortal sins to be
(1) genetic modification
(2) human experimentations
(3) polluting the environment
(4) social injustice
(5) causing poverty
(6) financial gluttony
and
(7) taking drugs.
What I mean by 'gently reinterpreted' is that really, The Vatican needs to effectively call out of some wicked sinners that are violating the new rules. Namely who I mean:
Because really, if the corporations are people debate is a real debate, then they are karmically (if you believe in that sorta thing) accountable in this lifetime and will then go to hell, right?
Aah man, that would be Sweet Caroline:
