A recent Supreme Court ruling shows that women in the United States are treated unfairly on the basis of pay. If a woman wishes to file Title XII on the basis of not being paid the same as a man in the same position, she must do so within 180 days of the beginning of her employment with that particular employer. In other words, you only have six months and then you can't do a thing about it. Apparently, you have to investigate your company for unfair wage practices the moment you start working for them. The Republicans overwhelmingly did nothing about it, McCain going so far as to say that it would create 'unnecessary' lawsuits. So, Mr. McCain, wanting equal pay is 'unnecessary'?
'...a Title VII complaint must be filed within 180 days of the specific action that sets discriminatory pay, regardless of its ongoing and continuing discriminatory impact on the employee.' - from www.now.org
Animal farming is a stress on the environment and causes pollution. Also, animals are overwhelmingly treated badly. We must also realize that factory farming consumes a gigantic amount of resources, beginning with housing and feeding the animal, slaughtering it, transporting it, packing it, refrigeration. The Western meat-based diet is as responsible for pollution and oil prices as is driving a gas-powered automobile. We could also probably take about half the grain and water we invest in animals every year and feed all the poor in the entire world.
We slaughter billions of animals a year for a quick bite and then some. Do you not think that, eventually, this might have some major repurcussions on the environment, energy resources and health costs?
Hunting is by far more ethically, nutritionally and environmentally sound than feeding one's money into a faceless death machine responsible for mass pollution of the environment, rampant obesity, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, and the needless torture of animals whose only 'fault' is that they weren't lucky enough to be born with opposable thumbs, or, they don't happen to be your average everyday housepet.
