Humans living far beyond planet's means: WWF

There numbers are confusing to me. But the article is still interesting. For example they claim that..

"On current projections humanity, will be using two planets' worth of natural resources by 2050 -- if those resources have not run out by then," the latest report said.

Why is there an IF here? We only have one planet and if we use over 1 planet worth of natural resourse, we will run out and stop (and die). So I don't understand what they are saying.

Worldwide Press Freedom Index 2006

This is interesting. For this group to think that they alone define what a "free press" means is just silly.

Nothing about having a "freepress" includes the right to keep sources secret. "Secret" and "Free" (as in speech/press) don't go together.

Liberals all all upset when the government keeps things secret, but they don't mind when journalists keep secrets. They actually fight for the RIGHT to keep secrets. Its a double standard and needs to end. The press is supposed to be about PUBLISHING information, not keeping it secret.

A GOP PRE-MORTEM (Instapundit.com)

This about sums it up for me. I can't actually bring myself to vote democrat, but NOT voting republican will make my point clear.

I would rather it wait 2 years, but I really would like to see the House go Democrat. I think "divided" government is the best option. It has its weakness, especially in time of war, but both parties have proven to me they are not fit to be in total control.

Ho-ho-no! Claus cut from play in school

"Any reference to a religious holiday has the potential to offend anyone who is not part of that particular persuasion."

But where is it written that we can't offend anyone? What does free speech and freedome of religion mean if we can't even make references to them?
