...valuable as tropical forests may be to the world as a carbon sink, however, they matter even more to the people whose lives and livelihoods depend on them. Some environmentalists fear that a rush to cash in on forest conservation could end up hurting the indigenous people - whether the rubber tappers of Brazil or the forest dwellers of Aceh - that it should benefit most. After all, history has not been good to native people in the developing world who dwell on suddenly valuable land. The key will be to manage avoided deforestation projects properly, to make sure they are truly...

The case of crack cocaine illustrates just how important this judicial freedom is. Though derivatives of the same chemical substance, crack and powdered cocaine violations are punished very differently. According to what has been...
...posed by Professor of Government Michael J. Sandel, but it’s a topic that the federal government and local governments across the country face. Unfortunately, many have decided not to directly give addicts the heroin antidote naloxone, commonly used by emergency personnel for over 35 years, for fear that addicts might be more reckless in their heroin use, more reluctant to call 911, and more willing to instead administer the drug themselves. We hope officials change their tune—which puts drug control ahead of life—and support programs that distribute naloxone to heroin users...
