A Call to Action From JFK Junior
Last month the House of Representatives passed an energy bill that does virtually nothing to reduce our dangerous addiction to Middle Eastern oil.

KPMG - Dontcha Love 'em?
Just in case anyone thought that dodgy accountancy practices on a humungous scale went away with the unlamented death of Andersons, after the Enron debacle (amongst others), or that Enron / Worldcom were isolated and unusual cases, here is an incomplete list of the recent antics of another of the...

AIDS is a Man-Made Pandemic
So far there have been 27 million deaths from AIDS around the world, and there are more than 66 million infected with the HIV virus. It’s a global catastrophe.
