Ecologically sound healthcare

A post by Art Caplan who is a pseudoeditor but not an editor at blog.bioethics.net alerted me to Alternet, a website that is rich with blogger material. We could begin by contrasting the article complaining of the environmental toxin of the production of chicken for food with the one in support of abortion and abortionists. … Continue reading

More leftist fussin' about Robert P. George

The Nation’s Max Blumenthal (also available free online here)has decided that Princeton’s Robert P. George (graduate of Harvard, Oxford and recipient of many other honors and degrees) is tainting the entire institution, by causing a “lean to the right.” I agree with a statement Professor George has made: he’s a balance for Princeton’s other notorious … Continue reading
