Ginsburg also suggests that parents of new drivers adopt a version of the graduated licensing program that many states have in place. Rules include requiring a certain amount of experience before allowing teens to drive in bad weather or after dark during their first licensed year and prohibiting them from driving with other teens until they can demonstrate their ability to concentrate on the road and not get distracted by passengers. "Driving is such a potentially dangerous thing that we have to make it so that the car is not the place where teens test their independence," Ginsburg says...
...proposed rule marks the first time the Federal Government has tried to regulate stationary sources of greenhouse-gas emissions. But again, the details are far from certain. It's not clear yet what "best available technology" will mean for carbon - especially in the case of new coal plants, which have no real way to drastically limit carbon emissions. And the rule is certain to come under attack from industry opponents; by putting only large emitters under the proposed rule, the EPA saves a lot of expense for small businesses but could be accused of being unfair to larger ones...
...anatomy, it appears that chimpanzees may actually have evolved more than humans - in the scientific sense of having changed more over the past 7 million years or so. That's not to say Ardi was more human-like than chimplike. White describes her as an "interesting mosaic" with certain uniquely human characteristics: bipedalism, for one. Ardi stood 47 in.

First of all, any act of philanthropy, in the sense that an individual parts with personal resources for a positive cause in which he or she believes, ought to be equally called “moral.” That Cohen has conceived of a certain schema on which to rank the morality of these identical actions is highly problematic. After all, who is really to judge negatively a person choosing to make a charitable donation? In a dismal economic climate like this one, when charitable giving has reached one of its lowest levels in recent history, it is misguided...
