Honduran Leader's Populism Is What Provoked Military Violence

Contrary to most media accounts, President Manuel Zelaya wasn't seeking to abolish term limits.

Zelaya Takes a Left Turn

When Zelaya was elected president on November 27, 2005, in a close victory, he became president of one of the poorest nations in the region, with approximately 70 percent of its population of 7.5 million living below the poverty line. Although siding himself with the region’s left in recent years as a new member of the leftist trade bloc, Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA), Zelaya did sign the Central American Free Trade Agreement in 2004.

However, Zelaya has been criticizing and taking on the sweatshop and corporate media industry in his country, and he increased the minimum wage by 60 percent. He said the increase, which angered the country’s elite but expanded his support among unions, would "force the business oligarchy to start paying what is fair."

More than 800 wildlife species now extinct

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than 800 animal and plant species have gone extinct in the past five centuries with nearly 17,000 now threatened with extinction, the International Union for Conservation of Nature reported on Thursday.

A detailed analysis of these numbers indicates the international community will fail to meet its 2010 goal of bolstering biodiversity -- maintaining a variety of life forms -- a commitment made by most governments in 2002.

We should do what you can but no matter what WE do there will be species that go extinct. Next thing we know you liberals will be rewriting history and blaming the reps for killing the dinosaurs.

They're already blaming humanity for killing off the mammoths.

Good excuse. Evolutionary pornography from the hive mind?

"They" is kind of vague. Got a link? Or are you referring to ekim and Poochee?

I'm referring to many "so called" scientists who wish to blame the miniscule human population of 20,000 years ago for the global extinction of an entire species.

Right here

Interesting. Miniscule human population of 20,000 years ago? They have caves in Euope with stacks of skulls from various animals. They were meat eaters. You don't think it's a possibility? a one in a million chance we could have over hunted them? We are predators, you know. Didn't seem to me they were pushing the human element there.

"many 'so called' scientists"? There were a couple.
