Can someone post the CO congregation checklist for when the 'inspect' halls? I remember a section in the newest one regarding the new contributions. There's something in there that basically asks "Is the congregation paying their promised $$$. If not, why?" I swear there was also something in there that is like, "Is this congregation really contributing what they can? Can they give more?"

What do you think? Should chimpanzees be granted 'personhood'?

there's a current court case in ny which is hearing that question right now.

the precise issue is the continued captivity of two chimpanzees, (leo and hercules, names bestowed by humans) in a medical research laboratory at stony brook university.. i suggest that the application has some merit.

are not all of us "animals?

Evidence based folks: what is your stance on GMO's and why?

so, the anti-gmo movement scored another victory today.

chipotle has opted to only use non-gmo food items.. hooray for them.

i'm pretty neutral on the subject, mostly because, other than questionable treatment of farmers, i have seen no evidence to avoid gmo's for health reasons.. basically, my neutrality boils down to the stance that i'll buy non-gmo, so long as the price is reasonable.

GMOs themselves are fine. The politics and the shitty corporations behind them are evil but that's a whole other topic.

holy cow that video would have been called "undignified" 5 years ago. If gave a talk with that many 'jokes' I would have been counseled. This crap is coming straight from the GB.
