Hiya All,

Michael Chertoff's response to federal TSA employees trying to unionize? ...allowing screeners to unionize would impede the department's quick response to possible threats. Fast redeployment of screeners, such as in response to Hurricane Rita and the failed London plot to blow up airliners, cannot wait for negotiations, he said. Chertoff said screeners are as much on the front lines in the war against terror as military troops. "Marines don't collectively bargain over whether they're going to wind up, you know, being deployed in Anbar province or in Baghdad," Chertoff told reporters after a briefing with senators. "We can't negotiate over terms and conditions of work that goes to the heart of our ability to move rapidly in order to deal with the threats that are emerging."

Really? Do animals deserve the same rights as people? Do animals deserve the same access to space that people do? Humans consume alot of stuff, the least being space that other species could use--
» Why is killing an animal "not as bad" as killing a person? I see no commitment by anyone in Olympia to "make space" for animal issues-- Humans & animals deserve the same access to clean water, habitat, and food resources-- I ponder why "we" (us & the animals) do not work more together, towards these similar goals --I wonder what keeps the animals from showing up to all the meetings... Who on our city council is representing the wildlife and other animals? I'm curious where others are: I'm pretty much in support of animal rights-- I'd be all for closing the downtown to autos to encourage pedestrian use/dog walking, and to make space for animal habitat, like trees... I'd even support "community animals"...pets for us all that are supported just for the sake of it-- Imagine having horses to ride to Capital Forest (or just to feed & groom), and animals to interact with daily... Now that would be a great use of public funds!

Hiya All--
» seeking like minded souls for workshops at TCTV-- I'd like to learn more about video production for my nonprofit, so I thought I'd see if any others would want to do this as well
