Zero Population Growth - The Only Way Out

As the human race gallops toward adding 2 to 3 billion within the next 40 years, and the USA expects to add 138 million by mid century-no one will speak of the consequences. The eminent population scientist Dr. Paul Ehrlich said, "All causes are lost causes without limiting human population."

"There are three, and only three, ways that human population growth can be reduced to zero or made negative, if that is necessary for our species to survive," said Brent.

Only two U.S. nuclear sites are in compliance with federal fire regulations

On an ironically clear and placid day in August 2007, a three story tall cooling tower at the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant collapsed, goring a massive hole in the center of the structure and spewing asbestos, rotting wood, plastic panels, and thousands of gallons of water onto the bank of the Connecticut river.

Army group says there ARE atheists in foxholes

Atheists in foxholesThe cliche notwithstanding, there are atheists in foxholes.

In fact, atheists, agnostics, humanists and other assorted skeptics from the Army's Fort Bragg have formed an organization they hope will be a pioneering effort to ensure fair treatment and win recognition for nonbelievers in the overwhelmingly Christian U.S. military.

"We exist, we're here, we're normal," said Sgt. Justin Griffith, chief organizer of Military Atheists and Secular Humanists, or MASH. "We're also in foxholes. That's a big one, right there."

Workers in private industry, meanwhile, saw their compensation grow just 2.1% in the 12 months ended December 2010, says the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
