- In the fall of 2003, George W. Bush announced democracy would be the guiding principle of Washington's Middle East policy. We were struck by how similar this type of rhetoric matched the historical legacy of US foreign policy in regions like Latin America where US leaders have paid much lip service to democracy, but cared less about its actual implementation. It always struck us as more than a little disingenuous that the United States could pressure foreign states to practice democracy. Ironically, there is no shortage of examples of US intervention in places where the democratic process produced results less than favorable to Washington including Iran in 1953, Guatemala in 1954, Chile in 1973. |

- Abstinence-only doesn't work Minnesota's abstinence-only sexual education programme doesn't work, adding to the evidence that what anyone with a smattering of knowledge about human nature could have told them off the bat, is true. The study found that sexual activity among junior high kids at three schools where the program was taught doubled between 2001 and 2002 -- a pattern similar to that exhibited by kids statewide -- and that the number who said they would probably have sex during high school nearly doubled, as well. The state's five-year-old abstinence-only initiative has been taught to 45,000 Minnesota kids and is funded by state and federal dollars. Christian churches have tried for centuries to tell young people that sex is bad, but somehow word still gets around that it can be quite fun. You line up some old religious fanatics against the total sex drive of all the world's teenagers, a force backed by ~500 million years or so of sexual evolution, and it's pretty obvious who wins and who loses. |

- matthew writes: Three days after the successful landing of the Spirit Rover on Mars, NASA Chief Sean OKeefe has admitted than a member of the Spirit Rover team left the keys to the robotic rover on Earth in his jacket pocket, leaving the rover stranded withing the landing module and unable to transit down the ramp onto the Martian surface. Were currently exploring various avenues to get the rover started without the keys, but at this point we may have to face the fact that weve already seen the best pictures were going to get from the Mission. Weve subsequently initiated an investigation into the location of the keys to Spirits twin, the Opportunity rover, which will touch down on the Martian surface in two weeks, and yes, the same Engineer was found with those keys as well. JPL Engineers have been attempting to use the Rovers small robotic arm to move a bolt found lying on the floor of the lander into position where it can short the ignition contacts. |
