New methods are being developed to fight malaria. Of course, they’re in limited supply and rather expensive. You know, we already have a sure fire way to make a huge dent in this major killer. It’s called DDT, and if it weren’t for environmentalists who care more about harming animals than the deaths of almost 900,000 humans annually, this wouldn’t even be an issue.
One round to the good guys. This is exactly the correct way to combat piracy. Kudos to the Indian Navy for taking their responsibility seriously. The Brits took out a pirate vessel a week ago, too. Her Majesty’s Navy is laudable, but don’t tell that to English bureaucrats. The marine director of the International Chamber of Shipping (London) would rather have the pirates arrested and taken to court. Why, exactly? The traditional penalty for piracy is death, a fitting end for these scum that would not be meted out by England’s legal system.
Some, however, aren’t getting the message. The CEO of a Norwegian shipping firm says his company will reroute their ships around the southern end of Africa, at significant expense. He bemoans the lack of action by international authorities but can’t seem to see the obvious solution: take responsibility for your own safety and arm your ships!
Call me ill-informed, but did you know that in England you can’t be a member of one political party if you’re a police officer? Yes the British National Party is racist (whites only), but making it illegal to be a member? We should be thankful for our freedoms here in the U.S. Why in the world is the left so enamored of Europe? Political correctness run amok.
