For me, supporting animal rights is a no-brainer. After all, who could possibly be for being cruel to animals? It just doesn’t seem like a reasonable position! We have to do all we can to protect the rights of animals, people, and anything that can feel pain. The big debate is where animal protection should start.

For example, many people in the animal rights movement believe that any animal experimentation, use of animal products, or even ownership of pets is abusive. Other people disagree and draw the line at a less radical position. There are a lot of people, for example, who think that we shouldn’t have factory farms but that eating animals is okay as long as they are raised in a free range environment. Other people believe that eating animals isn’t moral, but experimenting on them when it is medically necessary is. It is all a matter of interrogating your conscience and finding out what the correct answer for you is….. Read the full article at animal rights

North central Minnesota tourism will never be the same now that the primaries have already been held there. The movie star quality of both Hilary and Borok drew crowds from far and wide. Many people went from one side of the state to the other just for the chance to see both candidates. You also had “groupie” candidate followers that would go from one event to the next in the state just to see their person one more time. Obama followers seemed to do that more than the ones for Hilary, but then again he seems to draw a younger crowd and they are generally more mobile and more willing to sleep on a couch somewhere than the older crowd following Hillary is. McCain did not seem to have that same draw. People seemed to come mostly from just the local area to hear his speeches, something that both the republicans and the democrats took note of. Huckabee did have his draw, mostly Christians from all over the state that felt rather left out in the whole process. His draw was young and old and all ages in between, while McCain seemed to draw mostly older voters. Time will tell as to the election results.

Throughout Europe the public dislikes landfill so much that they are willing to pay a hefty premium on their rates bill for expensive (but green, and environmentally positive) recycling, and the European Union saw this campaign and has taken it further by issuing a Directive throughout all member states, including new accession states, that organic waste, that is all waste known as BMW (Biological Municipal Waste) being sent to landfill must be reduced substantially. After all, it is this waste which causes odours, and as it rots and decomposes in landfills, causes the greatest risk to the environment.

Now, on this subject there have been two completely opposite pieces of news with the last few days.

That is while in Ireland there are now serious concerns that their policy will be ineffective and in 2010 the Irish will fail to meet the target for landfill diversion, the opposite is true in Scotalnd where they find diversion and recycling easy.

But the problem is that in Ireland the amount they sent to landfill last year actual still continued to rise - despite all their recycling efforts.

In Scotland they announced that not content with their own success, they will now go better than the EU requirements, and aim for a zero waste (to landfill) policy.

But, across the Irish sea all is so different and the Irish politicans really do have to get their landfill and recycling policy sorted out. Financial restraints alone are not going to be enough to reduce landfilling. Charges for landfilling waste are already extremely high.

Failure to comply with the EU Directive would mean that Ireland would be charged a heavy fine by the EU Parliament.

On the other hand the Scots must surely be applauded for their environmental awareness and commitment to keep their beautiful country clean, and as landfill waste free as possible. For more about the politics of waste management visit the Wastersblog.

Central Iowa has a number of fascinating history in the political world and one of the most interesting is Carrie Chapman Catt, a leader of the U.S. woman suffrage movement, founder of the League of Women Voters, crusader for international peace, and an advocate for the expansion of women’s rights throughout the world.   How interesting it is to study the movement, to see the difficulties that the movement had to overcome to gain equality in the polls for women and the dedication of women (and some men) to the cause in the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics located on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames.

If you have an interest in politics and want to study the history of the women’s movement you will want to visit Central Iowa and the museum at ISU.
