'Net bullies target Chinese student participants in pro-Tibet protests

Interesting that this has become a mini-version of what is actually going on in China. The Tibetan student speaks her mind and the Chinese students respond with violence and intimidation.

You can be as nationalistic as you like, but fear tactics cross the line. I find many Americans annoyingly nationalistic, but I don't have to worry about my own safety or that of my family by saying that.

Tibet: nearly 1,000 jailed in Lhasa, Dalai Lama offers to resign

Use this opportunity wisely. Don't let China get away with this kind of brutality with the Olympics on the horizon. One of the conditions of China being awarded the Olympics was free and unrestricted by the press. Also, the IOC promised that they would "monitor" human rights issues and "act" if they thought that the situation required it. ANyone think THIS situation requires it.

HOLD THE IOC TO THEIR PROMISE!!! Contact the IOC directly, contact your local Olympic committee. For an excellent action campaign, visit www.freetibet.co.uk.
Also search to see if there is a Free Tibet committe in your country. Send postcards. Sign petitions. China must know that the secret is out and we are all seeing what is happening in Tibet. They can't hide behind their press censorship and internet blackouts anymore.

Which giant corporation owns your favorite tiny organic food brand?

You have to make sure that you're actually buying from who you think you're buying from in order to support the organic food movement. Case in point: Who owns Kraft Foods? Why, Philip Morris, the biggest tobacco company on the planet!

Very interesting, but how much recycled content is there? I'm hoping there is a lot, otherwise, why are we making furniture out of paper?
