Japanese Whaling launches Consumer Boycotts and a Union Blackban
The Nisshin Maru whaling factory ship has stopped and the hunters are out hunting in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Once again Greenpeace activists have put their inflatable zodiacs into the water to try and form a human shield between harpoon and whale. Tensions are higher after the collision of the Nisshin Maru and Arctic Sunrise. Maybe there are things which people on dry land can do as well, such as boycotting Gordon's seafood products, and products of other companies invested in by ...

MUNI 3rd Street Lightrail Going Nowhere - stops at Visitation Valley
Over $650 million has been spent on MUNI 3rd Street Lightrail and it is going no where. Check it out it stops at Visitation Valley when it could have gone further to Ocean Beach and served a better purpose. Then we have two bridges under construction that should have been in place two years ago. One at Marin Street closer to Cargo Street and the other at 4th and King. If this project was in a White Neighborhood there would be a hue and cry. But with Sophie Maxwell at the helm of affairs - any...

The Mileage-Per-Gallon Fraud
After buying a hybrid a few months ago, I soon learned that the car was not achieving the projected miles per gallon. I heard from others that all cars fall below the EPA estimated gas mileage, but in my case the numbers were not even close. Fortunately, the current issue of Sierra magazine provides the details behind EPA’s misleading estimates, and the situation is even worse than suspected. How does the auto industry get away with this fraud, and why do legislators stand for it?...

The Slaughter of an Exhausted Whale Calf
The Japanese whaling fleet has recommenced the whale hunt and slaughter after an absence of 11 days.

Greenpeace activists again disrupted the whale hunt on 5 January by enabling many whales to escape. Andrew, from the Greenpeace ship, Esperanza, tells the story of one hunt and how the harpoonist needed only one good shot. Eventually an exhausted whale calf was hit by the grenade ti...
