Bill Clears EPW Committee with Incomplete Cost Estimates Washington, DC ... Idaho Senator Mike Crapo, a member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, issued this statement following Committee action to pass a climate change cap and trade bill. The bill was reported out of committee with no Republican members present. "There is absolutely no reason, other than trying to meet an artificial deadline for international audiences, to move this bill so quickly without sufficient cost analysis and public review," Crapo said, noting that neither the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office or the Environmental Protection Agency has yet to conclude an analysis of the legislation. "If some Senators wish to proceed with th... more

Under the bill, the only people who would face the fee for not purchasing insurance are... more

Around the United States, peace groups are engaged in effective campaigns against proposed new military installations, local funding of weapons companies, and the routine destruction of the environment and of workers' health by such companies. Activists are building better media outlets, educating young people, educating old people, keeping military testing and recruiting out of schools, and discouraging the Army from building real-weapon video arcades in shopping malls. But when it comes to stopping our wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, our citizens are less clear how to go about it. The peace movement was defunded and demobilized by the absurd belief that an election alone would make a difference, and now there is widespread d... more

The Society for Neuroscience just held its annual conference in Chicago. I attended—not as a member, though neuroscience is my field, but to protest the organization's stated goal of broadening support for animal research. The society, like animal experimenters everywhere, perceives "growing threats" to animal research and seeks to recruit additional allies with a "vested interest" in promoting animal experimentation. Every vested interest is entitled to its own propaganda, but such an effort warrants a response from neuroscience researchers who instead advocate kindness to animals. Neuroscientists with established research credentials and a PETA membership are rare. They are often viewed by faculty colleagues as untrustworthy ... more
