Nor does anyone want to identify as upper class.
It’s so different in the UK. We cling onto our working class roots like a badge of honour. It’s not so much about money here but culture.
I’ve been a teacher for 12 years now but would never declare myself as middle class-my cockney accent just wouldn’t allow it.
In the media the middle class and upper class have adopted ‘mockney’ accents to get on here-think Jamie Oliver and Guy Ritchie
over. It occurred between 2000 and 2007, as black employment decreased by 2.4 percent and incomes declined by 2.9 percent. During the seven-year long black recession, one third of black children lived in poverty and black unemployment-even among college graduates-- consistently ran at about twice the level of white unemployment. That was the black recession. What's happening now is a depression.Overfishing May Be Declining, But It Hasn't Gone Away-
[...]Of 10 areas of the world that were studied, significant overfishing continues in three, but steps have been taken to curb excesses in five others, Hilborn and Worm report. The other two were not a problem in either study.
This is indeed some fairly good news in an area (fishing and the oceans) that has seen some of the worst news regarding environmental change in recent years.
Health-care reform may not be good for politicians' health Medicare reform can be a sinkhole - on both sides of the borderFor the doctors, it's not clear that “all” includes them. The CMA will unveil the results of a fact-finding mission to Europe to investigate reform there, from Denmark's downloading of chronic care onto municipalities to Britain's funding of hospitals based on the number of patients they treat.
No government wants to take on the doctors lobby, not when Canadians trust their physicians so much more than their politicians. ( :)
Psychology is to blame for humans not acting on climate change, psychologists sayIt may seem a tad ridiculous to have to even say that human behavior is responsible for the failure of humans to act, let alone take 225 pages to say it. I mean, what else would likely be responsible than people's minds and brains -- their big toes?
"The fundamental theme of the report is that the Administration needs to put in place procedures to try to distinguish science questions from policy questions," said Boehlert. "Often, policy disputes are cast as fights over science. This damages the credibility of science and obscures the real issues that ought to be debated. For example, how much risk a substance poses to human health or the environment is a science question; how much risk is acceptable is a policy question."Baghdad blast walls to come down
( Sounds a bit like trying to promote conditions for peace without dealing with the problem of violence : the 'confusion' being political 'cover'. Kool Aid Alert )
Women Lead in IranStrong support among women for reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi also has been key. Mousavi's wife, Zahra Rahnavard, played an especially visible role in her husband's campaign and continues to speak out, calling for protesters to chant from the rooftops in a show of solidarity. She is respected by many as Iran's first high-ranking female university professor and for her work as an artist.
Iran’s leading human rights leader, Nobel Laureate, and women’s rights attorney Shirin Ebadi has called for the Iranian government to void the presidential election results. Ebadi argues that the government should release individuals who were arrested for objecting to the election results, cease police violence towards protesters, pay compensation to those injured or killed, and order new elections. Several Iranian human rights leaders have reportedly been arrested after denouncing the election results and the ensuing violence.

Government 'panicked' by report of MoD wasting billions
The government has been accused of trying to suppress a report that found the Ministry of Defence is wasting billions of pounds every year as a result of ordering projects it cannot afford.
( Panic? That's an unlikely state of affairs. The MoD has been ordering work it can't afford for Generations. )
South Korean police commandos have dropped from helicopters to try to end a factory sit-in by sacked workers demanding to keep their jobs.
More than 500 workers have occupied the main car plant of Ssangyong Motors for more than 10 weeks.
What could any reasonable person have against “programs for peace”?… By assisting Cohen in his ruse to bypass this boycott, Amnesty International is in fact taking a political stance, in violation of the premise of political neutrality with which it so regularly justifies its failure to side unambiguously with the oppressed. Amnesty is telling us: resistance is futile, the voice of the oppressed is irrelevant, international humanitarian law is a luxury.

If asking for unconditional human rights is extreme, then I am a proud extremists. Many on the self-proclaimed Left are easy to spot, their key phrase is:This “but” is a fearful one, rooted in a deeply ingrained and denied racism. The people who say this are well aware of Israel’s crimes- past and present, and yet still afraid of what may happen, once we let the “two legged beasts” out of their cage, whether they call Palestinians that, or not. In my journey of discovering the truth behind Israel, I’ve realized some things are not negotiable.They deserve human rights/freedom/their own country, but…
