...take a few deep breaths and relax - a little bit. Brown, one of the U.S.'s most respected environmentalists, has a plan - and it's called Plan B. (Hear Brown talk about Plan B 3.0 in this week's Greencast.) After detailing just how screwed our overpopulated, overconsuming world is - thanks to an economic system that rewards production without regard for environmental impact - Brown lays out an alternate path that could save us from the worst consequences of climate change. At the heart is a call to reduce global carbon dioxide emissions 80% by 2020 - far more aggressive than anything...
Without naming names, I believe that most of them would be playing the game. What motivates most politicians, especially those running for President, is closer to your classic will-to-power than to a deep desire to reform the health-care system. Alpha males are alpha males (and alpha females, ditto): it's true among apes, and it's true among humans. This doesn't make them bad people. It makes them people.

...Republican race, meanwhile, is again thrown into a cocked hat. Relying on a deep well of support among evangelical voters and Iowa home schoolers, Huckabee's win shakes up the GOP contest once more, setting up an unexpected three-way race in New Hampshire between Huckabee, Romney and former Arizona Senator John McCain, with libertarian Ron Paul and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani bringing up the rear...
Though Clinton did well among women and senior citizens, Obama's win was wide and deep. He did unusually well in the college towns of Ames, Iowa City and Grinnell as well as the labor bastion of Blackhawk county. Meanwhile, in Des Moines, teenagers in cars "scooped the loop" along the downtown streets and yelled Obama's name - "Whoohoo! Obama! Fired up!" - in the icy night...
