Chevron defends their involvment in Myranmar (Burma) and deliniates some of what they are doing to support NGO's trying to help the situation. They also state their support for the people of Burma clearly, "Chevron supports the calls for a peaceful resolution to the current situation in Myanmar in a way that respects the human rights of the people of Myanmar." I'd like to help them follow through on that support.
A Reasonable Review of An Unreasonable Man Written By: Michelle Haimoff 2007-02-05 00:20:09 In fairness, An Unreasonable Man offers both perspectives on Ralph Nader; the “wicked”-ly naïve megalomaniac that cost Gore the 2000 election, and the idealist who stands up to government even in unfashionable times.

Alternative Energy in 2008: Don't Send American Boys to Fight American Wars Written By: Eben Esterhuizen 2007-08-06 23:23:59 Crude oil prices dropped today by 4.5%, the most in seven months, as investors bet that U.S. summer fuel demand has peaked.

Higher oil prices increase demand for alternative energy, while lower oil prices could lead to investors questioning some of the lofty valuations in the sector.
Americans who join the armed forces do so out of a respect for democracy and pride in community. To yell at and harass those who might join the military is missing the point. Code Pink organizers should be attacking the politicians that make decisions, not the military that executes them.

Code Pink, please do not be as arrogant as our President. Please do not make me ashamed of you the way I am ashamed of our president. Please come to your senses; do not aim your attacks at the wrong target.
Disclosure: I have financially, supported Code Pink for the past few years. I have never been a member of the military. I have friends at Code Pink but I don't think I can support the organization if my money goes to shaming our military personnel.
