Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsBill Ayers: NYT OP-ED, Dec.6,2008clipped by: katsteevnsclippers remarks: Full text at source. The Real Bill Ayers Peaceful protests had failed to stop the war. So we issued a screaming response. But it was not terrorism; we were not engaged in a campaign to kill and injure people indiscriminately, spreading fear and suffering for political ends. The antiwar movement in all its commitment, all its sacrifice and determination, could not stop the violence unleashed against Vietnam. And therein lies cause for real regret. President-elect Obama and I sat on a board together; we lived in the same diverse and yet close-knit community; we sometimes passed in the bookstore. We didn?t pal around, and I had nothing to do with his positions. I knew him as well as thousands of others did, and like millions of others, I wish I knew him better. Demonization, guilt by association, and the politics of fear did not triumph, not this time. Let?s hope they never will again.

Scientists have discovered more than 1,000 species in Southeast Asias Greater Mekong region in the past decade, including a spider as big as a dinner plate, the World Wildlife Fund said Monday. A rat thought to have become extinct 11 million years ago and a cyanide-laced, shocking pink millipede were among creatures found in what the group called a "biological treasure trove". The species were all found in the rainforests and wetlands along the Mekong River, which flows through Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and the southern Chinese province of Yunnan. The WWF report, "First Contact in the Greater Mekong", said that "between 1997 and 2007, at least 1,068 have been officially described by science as being newly discovered species." "We thought discoveries of this scale were confined to the history books." Spider as big as a plate among scores of new species found in Greater Mekongclipped by: reimers The Greater Mekong, which is made up of 600,000 square kilometres of wetlands and rainforest along the Mekong River in Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam and China, is also home to striped rabbits, bright pink millipedes laced with cyanide and a rat that was believed to have become extinct 11 million years ago. A host of new species has been found in the area, which is so full of life that previously unknown animals and plants have been turning up at a rate of two a week for a decade. At least 1,068 new species were identified in the Greater Mekong from 1997 to 2007 along with several thousand tiny invertebrates, the Times reports. Annamite striped rabbits, or Nesolagus timminsi, with black and brown fur, were discovered in Vietnam and Laos in 2000 and are only the second species of striped rabbit to be identified. Among the most bizarre to be discovered was a hot-pink, spiny dragon millipede, Desmoxytes purpurosea..       Conversation With an Alienclipped by: ColoradoRightclippers remarks: With a faint whirring the flying saucer leaped above the roofs, hesitated for a few moments, and then disappeared among the stars, forever. I went back to my vegetarian imitation turkey, suddenly realizing that all the anger and the guilt that had been haunting me all day were gone - replaced with a sense of an accomplished mission. Come to think of it, I just saved a whole alien world from the corruptive American influence! It felt almost as good as when the US Forces withdrew from Vietnam and Somalia, or when we defeated Republicans in the midterm elections. I adjusted the electronic shiatsu massage pad on my couch and turned on CNN. "Who are these Americans you speak of?" "Im glad you asked," I said. "Americans are the most biased, oppressive, exploitive, insensitive, homophobic, racist, sexist, bloodthirsty, greedy, capitalistic, environmentally-unfriendly people who live in the ugliest country on planet Earth. You just landed in it." The alien moved his eyes from the vegetarian imitation turkey, bottles of Evian water and his scoop of Ben & Jerry ice cream to the flat-screen high-definition TV, computer, dishwasher, cordless phone, and a thermostat on the wall next to the bookshelves with collectors editions of Marx, Lenin, Chomsky, and Michael Moore. "For a citizen of such a hideous nation youre doing alright," he said. "Are you some sort of a king or a dictator?" "A king?" I rolled my eyes. "I work on an educational grant from the government." "Oh. So you do work for the government." "I only let the American government pay me because that takes money away from their illegal wars.
