South40-LOL! I KNEW I wasn't crazy recalling "global cooling" from the era of "Chariots of the Gods?" and "Charlie's Angels"!
I should have known. It was my fault it was pulled. I had it all edited and ready to go but the CBS link allowed the full piece (it was AP but still didn’t register as it is so blatantly a propaganda piece).
I put back all the posts I still had in another window. Hope I got them all.
I’m looking for an article that your comments reminded me of. If I find it I’ll post it to the thread.
U.N. official deplores Texas execution (story is accompanied with Ft. Hood shooting memorial picture)UNITED NATIONS, July 8 (UPI) -- "The Texas execution of a Mexican national puts the United States in violation of international law, the U.N. human rights chief said Friday.
High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said federations like the United States have a responsibility to ensure that individual states "respect the international responsibilities assumed by the country as a whole."
...."I am very disappointed that neither the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles nor the governor took steps open to them to prevent this breach of the U.S. obligations under international law from occurring," Pillay said."
