This is a fascinating interview. So much so that it made me miss my gym class because I couldn't get out of the car on Monday when I started listening.
1 FaverShareViewed: 11 TimesQuoted: Fresh Air from WHYY, April 13, 2009 ยท In her new book The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power, And The Future of the World, Journalist Michelle Goldberg argues that granting reproductive rights to women internationally can help to control overpopulation, banish poverty and slow the spread of AIDS. Goldberg is also the author of the bestseller Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism. She previously worked as a senior writer for Salon.com and her work has appeared in Rolling Stone, The Guardian and The New Republic. In 2008, The Means of Reproduction won the J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award.
The exit polls on Prop 8 are very interesting. According to the poll, 69% of African-American voters support prop 8, opposed to under 50% for other races. Furthermore, the 30-64 age range is dead even 50/50, with 18-29 leaning no, and 65+ leaning yes. So the race essentially could be determined by whether more young or old voters get to the ballots. People with less than college degree's tend to lean yes, graduates lean no. The 6% of people who decided who to vote for in the last three days disproportionately leaned yes.
91% of people who's religion is listed as "none" voted no on prop 8. Rock on atheists.

Bold move by Google. Bravo!
1 FaverShareViewed: 4 TimesQuoted: it is the chilling and discriminatory effect of the proposition on many of our employees that brings Google to publicly oppose Proposition 8. While we respect the strongly-held beliefs that people have on both sides of this argument, we see this fundamentally as an issue of equality. We hope that California voters will vote no on Proposition 8 -- we should not eliminate anyone's fundamental rights, whatever their sexuality, to marry the person they love.

Oh, I really want to hope this memoir isn't fraudulent... It was so powerful.
1 FaverShareViewed: 37 TimesQuoted: On Jan. 19, the Australian, Rupert Murdoch's Aussie broadsheet, published a 4,600-word investigation challenging the credibility of the child-soldier memoir A Long Way Gone. Author Ishmael Beah's heart-wrenching account of Sierra Leone's civil war and the two years he spent as a cocaine-addicted teenage killer achieved instant literary acclaim.
On April 12, British Deaf people are marching against Clause 14 (4) (9) of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill. The clause says that a British couple undergoing IVF *must* discard any deaf embryos, and instead choose a hearing embryo for implantation .
This is problematic for the Deaf community for two reasons: First, it takes away a Deaf couple's right (indeed, any person's right) to raise a Deaf child if they choose to use IVF technology. They view this as discriminatory and in violation of their reproductive rights. Second, and more globally, it opens the door to other frightening embryonic selection practices, such as selection against blacks, gays, or other racial, linguistic, or cultural minorities.
Oddly, IMO, high-ranking British newspapers are spinning this as the Deaf community's desire to have "designer" deaf babies. One might expect them to see the broader implications and take up the cause...but ignorance apparently has the day.
