Rolling Back the Ban?
Corporate threats jeopardize Montana's cyanide-mining ban
The pressure was on this week for the dozens of people who traveled to Helena to testify before the Senate Natural Resources Committee about three bills that would either repeal or amend Initiative 137, a ban on cyanide heap-leach mining that voters approved last November.
Both those for and against the new bills sensed the urgency of making the trek through newly dropped snow to plead their case, asking the 11 committee members to either send the bills to the Senate floor or kill them immediately.
However, the pressure wasn't only on those who testified. A seemingly strategic announcement by the Canyon Resources Corp-oration may have added yet another twist to the already overwhelming issue. On Monday, just two days before the Natural Resources Committee hearing, Canyon Resources distributed a press release announcing that it was considering a lawsuit against the state of Montana. The timing of the announcement has some people questioning the company's motives.

The "takings" lawsuit could claim as much as $600 million, for the value of the gold and silver deposits in two mines that have been "taken" from the company because of the passage of I-137. Almost $70 million has been invested in the acquisition, exploration and development of these two mines.
Canyon Resources' CEO Richard DeVoto says that the mineral rights that his corporation have been leasing from the state for the past ten years are no good without the ability to use the cyanide heap-leach process. "Sure, there are some high-grade deposits that can be underground mined," DeVoto says. "But this area can only be mined by open-pit or cyanide."
The lawsuit will be filed after Canyon Resources does some homework, DeVoto says, and if the upholding of I-137 is apparent. But, Bryony Schwan, director of Women's Voices for the Earth, says, "Corporations don't see takings the same way. If they can't make a huge wad of money, they see it as a taking. But when they pollute our river, isn't that a taking also? Didn't they just take away our clean water?"
Canyon Resources is pulling for at least one of the three proposed bills this session that could eliminate I-137 and keep their mine project viable. Senator Chuck Swysgood, a Republican from Dillon, has sponsored two bills to repeal I-137 until Election Day, 2000, to allow for more discussion of the initiative. Those who opposed I-137 argue that the public did not get all of the information about the initiative because of a ban that prevented corporations from campaigning for ballot measures. The ban was lifted 12 days before the election.
The third bill, introduced by Debbie Shea, a Democrat from Butte, proposes letting individual counties decide if they want to keep the initiative. If not, county commissioners could pass a resolution that overturns I-137, or the residents of the county could vote to overturn the initiative.
Some claim that this bill undermines the original November vote, which passed by a 52-to-48-percent margin.
"The people have made it clear," Bryony Schwan says. "But then, two people can overturn the will of the people."
Not only can the votes of two commissioners overturn this state-wide measure if Shea's bill passes-those same two commissioners may not even live in the area most impacted by the cyanide heap-leach mine. Canyon's Seven-Up Pete mine is in Lewis and Clark County, which stretches almost completely east of the Continental Divide-the only part of the county that sits west of the Divide is where the mine is proposed.
"These commissioners represent people who don't live on the same side of the Continental Divide, let alone in the same watershed," Jensen says. "Two county commissioners in Lewis and Clark County can expose Powell and Missoula counties to all of the risks and negative impacts of a gargantuan mine on the Blackfoot."
Schwan adds, "If Lewis and Clark County decides they want cyanide heap-leach mining, they would get all of the tax benefits and Missoula County would get all of the pollution."
However, the mining industry disputes the entire pollution argument as irrelevant. "The cyanide heap-leach technique is a very, very safe treatment," says DeVoto. "There is not a single mine on earth that doesn't use this process."
"Phooey," say most enviros and public health advocates. The Montana Environmental Information Center cited a recent case involving the Golden Sunlight mine near Whitehall, which paid $66,000 for a cyanide leak in 1988 that contaminated groundwater at levels that exceeded state human health standards.
The coming weeks should bring a decision from the Legislature regarding the I-137 bills, and people on both sides have their fingers crossed.

|Home > Opinion > Article
Some of the Kennett changes were reversed in a limited way early in the first term of the Bracks Government - for example, the return of the right to sue a negligent employer at common law. But there is more to be done. The Napthine and Doyle oppositions blocked a range of bills seeking fairness in the workplace, legislation designed to give the minority of workers trapped in the Kennett industrial relations system the same basic wages and conditions enjoyed by the two-thirds of Victorian workers under federal awards. They also blocked legislation for clothing outworkers earning between $2 and $6 an hour. We welcome the ALP commitment to pursue these matters.
Another piece of legislation blocked by the opposition in mid-2002 was the Crimes (Workplace Deaths and Serious Injury) Bill, which created new crimes against companies and senior officers who killed or injured workers through gross negligence. This industrial manslaughter bill was designed to send a message to companies, especially larger ones, that they are responsible for acts of gross negligence in the workplace.
Only last week a young man was convicted of manslaughter over a tragic incident in which the van he was towing, using a frayed rope, broke free and killed his elderly next-door neighbour.
If this gross negligence constitutes criminal behaviour, why doesn't the same criminal law apply to a company that knows a five-tonne slab of unrestrained concrete is likely to fall, as it did in November, 1998, killing Anthony Carrick, an 18-year-old on his first day at work?
In its 2002 platform Labor promised to ensure a strong and consistent approach to workplace safety through a "system of appropriate incentives and penalties". Yet, we are now told that the Bracks Government will not re-introduce the industrial manslaughter legislation in this term. Instead, the government will beef up the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Of course, we welcome the strengthening of all areas of health and safety, including the OH&S Act. But, workers (and especially the families of those killed and seriously injured) are entitled to ask what has changed since the middle of this year, when the Bracks Government so vigorously pursued the legislation.
It is not a matter of cost, and the legislation would apply only to a handful of the worst companies in each year (the "rogue" companies, as Attorney-General Rob Hulls described them). In terms of making corporations more accountable, the legislation was strongly supported in the community. Is it that the government does not believe in the legislation any more? Or is it, as some cynics suggest, that it believed in the legislation only when the government knew it could not pass through the Legislative Council? It's not clear what has changed in the past six months. I can understand this legislation not being a priority in pre-election thinking, especially when the ALP could only dream of control of both houses. But the legislation is not new, the political circumstances are now different, and it should be re-introduced. It will certainly remain on our agenda.
Ironically, the only other time the ALP had control of the Legislative Council - for a few weeks in 1985 - the Cain government passed the Occupational Health and Safety Act. The legislation was an Australian first, and it is still the best workplace safety legislation in the country. It was vigorously opposed by the Liberal opposition and employers at the time.
My question to the Bracks Government is: what will be your equivalent to the Cain government's OH&S Act? What will workers remember this government for, apart from the repair of the damage of the Kennett years? Will it be the promised review of long-service leave legislation and entitlements? Or new laws to attack the imbalance in work and family life?
Unions and workers form an important part of the Labor Party. They are entitled to expect that a Labor government with unprecedented control of both houses will not only restore losses, but will leave a legacy.
We understand the need to act responsibly, particularly financially. However, in many areas of worker rights and community standards Victoria lags well behind other states.
We have been patient, indeed silent, as the government has handed out more than a billion dollars in tax cuts to business without asking anything in return, and as it has capped workers' compensation premiums at low levels. We have received relatively little in return.
I accept that politics is compromise, the art of the possible. My concern, however, is that the Premier's promise to govern for all Victorians should mean more than not upsetting employer groups or swinging voters in marginal seats.
Let us hope the Bracks Government has the courage to legislate for every group, including Victoria's two million workers.
Leigh Hubbard is secretary of the Victorian Trades Hall Council.

Ebola craziness has come to this: completely asymptomatic nurse Kaci Hickox – whose only crime was to treat unfortunates in West Africa for Ebola – is trailed by police when she defies a state-ordered home detention to go for a bike ride.
Go, Kaci – ride your bike!

Wreck Causes Evacuation
The Fayette County Sheriff's Office responded to a hazardous materials traffic crash that occurred at the intersection of US Route 62 and Miami Trace Road in Green Township.
Sheriff Vernon Stanforth reported that Mark Gill of Xenia, Ohio was operating a 2014 Freightliner semi tractor and cargo tank containing propane, traveling southbound on US 62 and initiated a right turn onto Miami Trace Road when the wheels to the cargo tank went off the roadway causing the vehicle and tanker to overturn.
Members of the Concord-Green Fire Department, Fayette County Emergency Management Agency (EMA), and the Sheriff's Rescue Unit all responded to the scene.
Residents within one half mile of the crash scene were evacuated by deputies and fire personnel as a precaution, however, no hazardous materials spill was reported from the tanker.
No injuries were reported. "Intersecting roadways from US 62 and Miami Trace Road were closed by the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Fayette County Engineer's Office and remained closed during the overnight hours while personnel removed the overturned tanker and cleared the scene", said Sheriff Stanforth.
Gill was cited for Failure to Control.

Are you going on a camping trip and you still do not have a tent of your own? Or have you ever wondered how to choose the best camping tent? Camping is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding outdoor activities that you can partake in and one of the most important gears that you need is a tent. Therefore, for you to have the best experience you must carefully choose a camping tent.
Several different varieties of tents are always available for purchase but the most common types are cabin tents, backpacking tents, and dome shaped. Although all of them are suitable for camping trips, each one of them is ideal for certain conditions. Generally, dome-shaped tents are the ones that are popular because they are easy to set up and even carry around.But how can you choose the best tent?
Consider the size that you are looking for
You need to know how many people you will be going out with and how much luggage you will be carrying. Typically, tents can be a two person, a four person or a six person, so, determine what suits you. Most four-person tents are only suitable for two people so take this into consideration. Also, look for the best shape that you want since a camping tents can be umbrella shaped, dome shaped, among others. For you to get the right size check camping tents review.
Look for durability
Always look for a tent that will last long enough but do this based on your budget and needs. More so, decide on the type of tent that you want. Ideally, camping tents with aluminum poles are recommended because they are sturdier, therefore, can last long. Aside from this, the best camping tents should enough ventilation and a double stitching to make them strong.
The ease of setting it up
Essentially, you should know how to set it up. This is because sometimes you can reach your camping place late. The best tents are the ones that are easy to set up. As a matter of fact, a dome shaped tent or a frame-shaped are the ones that are ideal for camping. You cannot say the same with a cabin tent which might not be easy to set up.
In sum, your tent should be easy to set up, durable and the right size for you. Go ahead and look for one!

May Employment: Jobs at Temporary Agencies Surge
Nearly two years ago, I published an NCPA piece on the growth of temporary employment. With the advent of ObamaCare and much uncertainty in the economy, I suggested there could be a growing trend in temporary and part-time employment.
Well here you have it: In the area of professional business services employment, 26,000 temporary agency jobs were added. This number far exceeded computer systems design services (6,000) and architectural and engineering services (5,000). Without doing an extensive analysis, my simple conclusion is that more workers are being hired at temp agencies in order to handle the growing demand for temporary workers. Not to pat myself on the back, but my crystal ball has been working quite well. But anybody who has kept up with the state of the economy and the impending health care mandates could see this coming.
Other notable findings: the unemployment rate is up one-tenth of a point to 7.6 percent from April, but the labor force participation rate is also up one-tenth of a point to 63.4. However, the LFPR is just a glimmer of hope in an otherwise lukewarm labor report.

Today we get an insight into what inspires David Bromley. From his love of old kitsch paintings to a never ending magazine addiction, these are the things that make Bromley's creative juices flow. Oh golly, what a treat! – Jenny x
I am a constant sponge and whilst many a creative folk are quite judgey over other peoples work, I am enamoured, excited – and there's never ever enough time in the day to absorb all the beautiful things.
Magazines – I'm an addict, always have a stash of new ones I'm trying to get to read… I've got them in my shelf, on chairs in the car. Gotta find some time to look but I've just been watching films by Charles and Ray Eames – Unbelievable. Alexander Calder – a Genius. Starck's energy and belief that stupidity is one of the key things that enables him to believe he can create despite obstacles and challenges – I suppose he is a believer. As am I (stupid that is).
Day of the dead, skulls… I'm obsessed by big things, little things, jewellery, cars, motorbikes, music, New Black Angels, PJ Harvey, the National collage is the best. Painting on raw linen and cardboard… mad about old kitsch paintings – and they're really influencing my new paintings, as are circuses. I just got nearly a whole of auction of circus paraphernalia. I'm obsessed by spooky stuff too.

Analysts sharply upped their assessment after Lloyds TSB said it expected a £100m hit once the new rules are in place. John Kirk, of brokers Fox-Pitt Kelton, said: 'This looks surprisingly high. It implies that the cost across the sector will be in excess of £500m.' He had put the total bill at about £100m.
Worst hit would be Royal Bank of Scotland, which has about 30% of the small business market. Kirk said: 'This implies a £200 million a year cost for them.'
The Office of Fair Trading is considering forcing banks to give a better deal to small and medium sized firms (SMEs) after the Competition Commission found they were being overcharged by £750m a year.
Proposals include free banking for SME customers or interest on balances. In March the Chancellor gave Lloyds, Barclays, HSBC and Royal Bank six months to agree measures.
Lloyds, headed by chief executive Peter Ellwood, said the implications had not yet been fully assessed: 'It is likely, however, that the annualised impact on profit before tax will be in the region of a reduction of £100m.'
The figure was contained in an otherwise confident trading statement, which promised half-year profits in line with expectations. Lloyds and HBOS - which also put out a statement today - put City minds at rest on bad debts. Shareholders have been jittery after an Abbey National profits warning two weeks ago. Both said bad debt provisions would be up this year, but largely because of bigger loan books rather than a deterioration in quality.
Lloyds revealed that a revamp in the way it accounts for its staff pension fund would reduce underlying operating profits by £195m this year because of falling investment returns and rising longevity. The scheme has 176,000 members.
Lloyds also admitted that its core Scottish Widows life fund had been much harder hit by falling share prices than the 'smoothed' figures would suggest. The actual hit was £211m more than the £648m reported for 2001 and the slide so far this year was another £111m.Reuse content

Nothing says "success" like wretched excess, or so it would seem. A challenge of innovation today is the overwhelming perception of its strong bias for fostering rampant consumption. The drive to acquire the new and improved has overwhelmed a mid-20th century view of making do an repairing things to extend their useful life. Now new products and services are created and go in search of markets and customers placing burdens on resources, ecosystems, and personal economies. The necessary is trumped by the pretty. The essential is supplanted novel. The vital and nourishing is squeezed out by the unimportant and artificial. To what end?
To convert the business man into the profiteer is to strike a blow at capitalism, because it destroys the psychological equilibrium which permits the perpetuance of unequal rewards. The businessman is only tolerable so long as his gains can be held to bear some relation to what, roughly and in some sense, his activities have contributed to society.
– John Maynard Keynes
(Quoted in Keynes and Capitalism, Roger E. Backhouse and Bradley W. Bateman, History of Political Economy, 2009)
Innovation should be about creating value; not only the short-term value of satisfying basic needs, but addressing long-term complex challenges that require sustained attention and focus. Much of the innovation we acknowledge is focused on a customer, their experience, and the momentary satisfiers at play. Innovation is being wed to the bright and shiny in a shotgun marriage of inconvenience. We need more and should expect more from innovation than something new to buy.
I create nothing. I own.
– Michael Douglas as Gordon Gecko in Wall Street
As a short-term game innovation without an eye to longevity yields hit and miss return. When it works it might be a tremendous success (think fads, like Crocs – the ugliest shoes on the planet) but often market-focused innovation responds to a surface need and does not address the deep and abiding need present in a customer's circumstances. Perhaps we need to consider innovation in deeper and more abiding terms and ask ourselves:
- How might we truly seek to create value?
- How might we create in a ways that are both additive and generative?
- How might we practice and foster stewardship in lieu of ownership?
Something tells me that there has to be an innovation-based answer to the issue of rampant and unflagging consumerism. What do you think?
After posting this a link came our way from an interview between Joel Makower, Group Chairman of GreenBiz Group, and Yves Chouinard, the Founder and CEO of Patagonia that is very relevant. The full post is here.

For leather I really like my A&G belts. If you want to go nylon I have two Wilderness belts, a 5 stitch and a reinforced both do their job very well.
This is a discussion on What brand of Gun belt would you recommend to get or stay away from. within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Title peaty much says it all, Im looking to upgrade my holster and with it i think i want to get a good gun belt ...
Title peaty much says it all, Im looking to upgrade my holster and with it i think i want to get a good gun belt also. And with most places usually being 4-6 weeks out it will come in around x-mas time so it will be a present to myself.
Im leaning towards a cross bread holster because of the good reviews Ive seen virtually everywhere i look and how it can be semi adjustable to change cant and height. i notice that they have gun belts also and was thinking about getting a belt from them and saving on shipping but i havent seen many reviews about their belts. Does anyone have one and can give me some feedback.
Ive also seen a lot of good reviews on belt man gun belts so i was considering them and also the wilderness belt even though its not a gun belt per say but rather that it is adjustable.
and especially if there are any brand that i should stay away from please list those.

I don't personally care for either the crossbreed holsters or their belts. I am well aware that many think they are the greatest. For a custom leather belt, I go with a Brommeland, found here.
Belts and Accessories
For everyday wear, I use a Wilderness Instructor, which can be found in many places.
I wear a Tactical Tailor Riggers belt,Grey Group has them for about $35.00,The only time I wear leather is when I'm in formal wear(not often),my T.T.belt holds everything nicely.
Gun Belts by The Belt Man. You will NOT be disappointed. I was leery about spending the oney until I bit the bullet and got one. This thing is awesome.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
- Roy Batty
I mostly use a beltman leather belt, but on occasion I use a wilderness tactical belt.
"Don't start none, won't be none!"
I like my Belt Man belt a lot, but I also like my R Grizzle and UBG belt and I also found one I like at Tractor Supply.
I'm in favor of gun control -- I think every citizen should have control of a gun.
1 Thess. 5:16-18
As for performance, the belt is stiff enough to carry my Sig P226 with no flexing or issues and this isn't exactly a carry gun either. I got it more for backpacking where the concealment doesn't have to be 100% and I can wear a big thick belt that I can use to rescue people from mountain tops while dangling from a helicopter. (I may be exaggerating regarding the helicopter).
The holster itself is good too but I have zero comparison. I've worn the thing around the house to see how comfortable it is and it's just fine. The only uncomfortable parts are the actual gun itself poking me, but the holster isn't magical - it can't make a full size gun into a PM9.
Another one for the beltman. Just ordered a new one on Friday and received it Monday. A+
Something that I came across is the heavy duty work belt from Wal Mart.
It is made of carves material with a leather strip on the outside center for looks and strength.
The belt is very stiff and strong which works well for me for a every day carry belt, and cot about $12 or so.
I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness,
nor the arrow for its swiftness,
nor the warrior for his glory.
I love only that which they defend.
-J.R.R. Tolkien
Those belt man belts look really nice! Many more options than the crossbreed belt (that I purchased). I think they look better and are more appropriate for daily use as the Crossbreed is a little too industrial looking to go with business attire.
Having said that, I think the Crossbreed belt is fine (and cheaper I believe) if the intended use matches the aesthetics of the belt.
I have a Blade-Tech "Looper".
It's a leather belt with a strip of kydex in it for reinforcement. When new, it's as stiff as hell, but does break in.
I don't have any other gun belts for comparison, so I am interested in reading suggestions on this thread.
A & G Gunleather gets my vote and my business. Great belts and even better customer service.

text: Im sure most have heard of the OQO which is basically a midget tablet pc with a greater coolness factor. A long time ago I was thinking of using one of these or something like it (Sony u70, flipstart) as a carputer and building an indash cradle so I could use it in car and then remove it when i get out so I can use it in the office, home etc. I think this would be pretty cool for people who have multiple cars and could take the carputer from car to car. or use it in house etc. Im thinkin the skifi of carputers.....alas its too expensive for me at this time and unless my boss will buy me one this project will have to wait

Sea of Poppies
David Simpson writes:
Amitav Ghosh's most recent novel, Sea of Poppies, is the first in a promised trilogy about the 19th-century opium trade and its effects on the lives of a group of variously ordinary people: a young widow, an American sailor, a Krishna-worshipper who imagines himself as a woman, a heroic Untouchable, a Parsee-Chinese convict, an enigmatic lascar, a Francophone orphan, a boat boy, a rajah bilked by a ruthless British businessman – and many others. 'Alternative' history is again central: here the point of interest is the Ghazipur opium factory, details of whose workings Ghosh has scrupulously reassembled from the records kept by a former superintendent. The sordid story of the opium monoculture imposed in Bihar, responsible for some 20 per cent of the wealth of British India, has apparently been little studied; it's gripping. One could say, and Ghosh does say elsewhere, that the British Empire was sustained by opium, and by setting this novel in the 1830s he is able to refer to the genesis of the war that was fought to force China to accept the import of opium.

And here the kindergartner has great room for the exercise of judgment, in the selection of suitable objects.
Is it not true that such work requires considerable effort from the kindergartner to make it interesting to the child?
It is no part of the kindergartner's duty to give—she can only awaken—the feelings of harmony, beauty, unity, and conscience.
Of course the American kindergartner does not use "foolish" stories; but stories she does use, and to good effect.
Do not say I am making too solemn a matter of these movement plays, to the kindergartner.
But he divined the meaning of that way, and its issues, and gives it to the kindergartner.
Informal questions by the kindergartner and answers by the children, on its introduction, that it may be well understood.
It cannot be put into formulas, nor does it come by intuition into the scientific form in which a kindergartner needs to have it.
The fourteen little stories in this book are not offered as a collection ample enough to satisfy all needs of the kindergartner.
To utilize their love of talking as they play is what is first to be done by the kindergartner.

It's another Feline Friday and, as promised, time to meet two new kittens!
No, not ours! Eight cats at home are enough. These kittens live next door.
Casey and Cookie have just recently been adopted by our neighbors, David and Sandra. Casey, the little male, arrived first, and was joined by Cookie after it became apparent that one wild kitten deserved another.
David also happens to be our regular cat sitter, and as we prepared to leave for a week in New Zealand, we took a break to meet the kittens. What a treat!
"Kitty TV" is what we call the antics of kittens. You can watch them for hours going from one game of stalking to another.
So don't wait any longer….
–> Take me to all the kitten pics in this photo gallery of Friday Felines!

Hi Jasmin,
Having "we time" is very important, because when the marriage is strong, mum and dad are happy, which means baby will be happy :)
When you put your children to bed by 8:00 or 9:00 at night, it allows you to have an hour or two of alone time. If you want to have a "date night" after your toddler is in bed, you can create a romantic dinner or picnic on the living room floor. The planning part, for women, is half the fun!
Plan what you will eat, what you will need to eat on (plates, silverware, glasses, etc.), what you will drink and what you will wear. If you would prefer to eat at the table, you can serve a candle light dinner.
Put on something you know your husband will appreciate and end the evening with intimacy on a blanket on the floor, or draw a bubble bath and either invite him in, or ask him to "help" wash you.
There are lots of fun things you can do during the day to increase intimacy. Write him a love note or a note of encouragement and place it on the seat of his car, the bathroom mirror, his pillow, or some other place where you know he will see it.
Embrace for 20 seconds each time one of you enters the house. This is really important and can be done with baby in your arms if need be. As time goes on, we often forget to do these things, so make a point of doing it all of your married life and you will be blessed.

Will Sandy Recovery Efforts Lead To Higher Taxes? [AUDIO]
Are your taxes going to go up to help pay for Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts?
During a Hurricane Sandy aftermath seminar, New Jersey League of Municipalities President and Mayor of Mount Arlington Art Ondish, said, "The difficulty of this is, it's such a wide spread storm and there's so much damage and there's such different damage. In the north it was more trees, in the south and the shore area it was flooding, in the inner areas it was flooding as well…It's a challenge because the damage is so massive that it is going to have an effect on the towns obviously – there's going to be a lot of revenue lost in tax revenue and it's going to have to be absorbed from somewhere."
When asked where the necessary funds will come from, Ondish said, "This is what we do in New Jersey, we get creative, we put our heads together, the League helps to assist and we find ways to get around these obstacles and get back to some kind of normalcy…I'm sure the Administration will work with the municipalities through the League, with the League as a partner, to make sure everybody that needs help is getting help appropriately."
As to whether there will be a need for property tax increases, Ondish said, "It's got to be paid for from somewhere, so there will increases, I can't see any way around that… FEMA will help – they were talking about a 75-25 split – so there will be increases, it's going to have to be paid for one way or the other, it's just a matter of how, and how to do it so that it's not going to kill everybody…I hope it's not going to lead to layoffs and cuts, but who knows, we're going to have to see how this pans out. But, however it is, it's going to have to be something done across the board where everybody's going to feel the pain."
"It can't be focused on just some, everybody's got to everybody's got to be in on this and we've got to work together."

Very nice work. The clips are just the right length for pranks calls. The clips themselves are perfect for messing with people, though only the BFM ones have enough veriaty to do so. The other guys haven't appeared enough to have alot of quotes, so you are hardly to blame for that. Keep up the good work and please update this as more BFM eps come out.

During the past half century the people of Africa finally gained their independence from colonial rulers, but the lesson of equality and freedom hardly appears to have sunk into the consciousness of Africans who currently are gripped by a homophobic rage that has resulted in brutal treatment of gays and lesbians. Bishop Desmond Tutu added his voice to those opposing such behavior and called upon leaders in Uganda to cease the trial of two men who announced to the world their love and currently are on trial and facing life imprisonment or death. Tutu joined with 60 human rights activists who fear that anti gay attitudes are transforming too many African nations into centers of hate and violence. As a Human Rights spokesperson noted: "the case(of the two men) is an affront to essential principles of non-discrimination and equality. It singles out two people as criminals simply because they love one another."
Gay and lesbian behavior is illegal in 36 African nations. One can only wonder if in bringing Christianity to the "dark continent," other dark notions were brought along?
