“Afterwards Lord Arran was asked why his homosexual law reforms had succeeded, while his efforts to protect the rights of badgers had not. Arran paused, and then said ruminatively, ‘There are not many badgers in the House of Lords.’”
The most horrifying thing momentarily is the political situation in a lot of countries. Politicians, behaving even worse like toddlers fighting about candy (power).
Lying and manipulating, dissing each other like overgrown teenagers and motivating their followers to stalk and terrorize people with other opinions.
Citizens, who react with violence towards each other and empower themselves with bullying minorities or helpless people.
Clowns?? Yes, this world is currently a horror circus.
Happy Halloween!
“An anthropologist proposed a game to children in an african tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the children that whoever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run, they all took eachothers hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats.
When he asked them why they had run like that when one could have had all the fruits for himself, they said ‘UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the others are sad?’ (‘UBUNTU’ in the Xhosa culture means: ‘I am because we are)”
Literally the opposite of the American world view of “I can only be happy if somebody else has less than me”
This is beautiful
DON’T MESS WITH WENDY Texas state senator Wendy Davis (D - Fort Worth) is pictured during her 13-hour filibuster against a proposed Republican bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and require those procedures to be performed in a surgical center. The ban would have effectively shut down most centers in the state. Million across the U.S. followed the drama unfolding in the state legislature, including President Obama, who Tweeted “Something special is happening in Austin tonight.” (Photos: Eric Gay / AP via The Forth Worth Star-Telegram)
The U.S. Law is a total mystery to me. Why 13 hours??
MORE than one million people in the Chinese city of Handan awoke last week to the alarming news that an essential source of their drinking water, the Zhouzhang River, had been dangerously contaminated by a 39-ton chemical spill in the nearby city of Changzhi. What made the news even more shocking was that the leak, from a factory pipe, had started at least five days earlier but had been kept secret by government officials, who allowed millions of their neighbors to keep drinking. …
For me, reading about Handan prompted a sick feeling of déjà vu. For the last five years I have been writing a history of the chemical industry’s egregious 60-year involvement in the New Jersey shore town of Toms River, which gained unwanted notoriety in the late 1990s thanks to a remarkably well-documented cluster of childhood cancer cases and a long history of often hidden industrial pollution.
