Group blasts PETA 'Holocaust' project
The Anti-Defamation League has denounced a campaign by an animal rights group that compares slaughtering animals to the murder of 6 million Jews in World War II.
The graphic campaign and exhibit "Holocaust on Your Plate," devised by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, juxtaposes 60-square-foot panels displaying gruesome scenes from Nazi death camps side by side with disturbing photographs from factory farms and slaughterhouses. One shows a starving man in a concentration camp next to a starving cow...more [CNN]
This is a good example of how a group can do more to dmage their cause, then help. To make the comparison between the intentional slaughter of a whole population; based on ethnicity, to the production of animals for food, is simply bizarre and obscene. There is no connection, and there can be no connection. The two simply do not equate.
That said, I do think that over time we will see a reduction in the use of animals as food. But, do you really expect that a society that executes people, is going to be bothered about slaughtering animals for food? Get real...mj

How the FCC got it 'bass ackwards'
If you have a broadband Internet connection, brace yourself: The monthly price you pay for it is probably going to soar. Been waiting for fast, always-on service to arrive at your door? Prepare to wait some more--a lot more.
That's all thanks to one of the worst mishaps ever to hit the Information Highway, a car wreck that's unfolding before our very eyes because the Federal Communications Commission was watching the rearview mirror instead of the road ahead...more [ZDNet]
Ahh, the joy of deregulation. The reason they did this is to protect the monopolys in Broadband. In the meantime they re-regulate a dieing market -- nice slight of hand if you think about it. The POTS (plain old telephone service) regulation will be meaningless, and the FCC knows it. In the meantime they get to protect their buddies in the Broadband industry. Remember, this is the Enron adminsitration...mj
