Women Farmers Feed the World
In West Africa, women's resistance to the new Green Revolution shows that the question of agricultural sustainability is also a question of equality.
"On that land, it's the head of household—the man—who manages it." There can't really be quality, then?

Fatou Batta: First of all, it's a question of rights. Women are key in producing food. They are working on the farm, they're producing through labor, and when it comes to using food, they are the last ones to be able to eat it. It's important to make sure those who contribute to producing the food also have access to eat equitably. In the family, usually males have the right to eat first. I think it's unfair. It's discrimination. So if we're talking about the right to food, we have to be looking at the gender imbalance.
Are the men eating alone? Or are they eating with other men in the family? I have read about the division of meals between the sexes in other cultures, with the males of the family or community eating first and separately from the females.

Maybe this is not an instance of taqiyya, but a moderate Muslim trying to give a different interpretation of Islamic teachings. But what authority does he have? The Islamic Case for Religious Liberty

Ignoring Daniel Yergin by Kurt Cobb (EB)

There is a vast audience of people out there who, as I said, have never heard of Daniel Yergin, and who have never even heard the words "peak oil." The elected officials who guide our policy will do little to address peak oil and related issues until voters communicate that these are top priorities that will affect elections. Beyond this there is the issue of encouraging personal preparedness, something that is in large part outside the scope of government policy.

Dr. Fleming: Getting Real Again

Rush is right about the basic point though, and this is a subject I have been meditating on for years. Justice demands that the guilty, not the innocent pay, and the guilty parties to the national debt are the congressmen and officials of both parties who took bribes and pandered to the lobbyists and ward heelers. When elected legislators and bureaucrats go into debt, it is their fault as much as it is the fault of the board of directors and managers of a business. Let the responsible parties be held accountable. If every member of Congress and White House flunkey who got us into this mess were held responsible, we’d have about 500 people to pay back the trillions of debt they–not we–owe.
