Those that are coming down hard on Cate Blanchett should look inside and see what they have done for the environment lately. Hopefully she is above all these 'heroes' and keeps it up. http://bit.ly/iBxVtD

FIFA's Sepp Blatter is the CEO of corruption, he should go!

Why do they keep giving us the news about the corruption at FIFA under the sport section? It is criminality pure and simple!

Good news! "Pressure grows for circus ban on wild animals" When will we realize that we do not have the right to enjoy ourselves at the expense of others, including other species. http://ind.pn/lgfNgc

Cate Blanchett is being criticized for her 'Carbon Cate' advert. I don't agree, anything that gets the message out is good and she should be congratulated. http://ind.pn/jKKnrY

Is it a coincidence that two FIFA officials are suspended, including one candidate for the presidency, and that Sepp Blatter gets off? A clear run for the presidency? http://nyti.ms/lUOd71

¿Es ético ofrecer recompensa a los que rodean los déspotas en #Libya y en #Syria, ofrecer recompensa para su eliminación? Incentivar su salida tiene que ser ético. http://bbc.in/lXbno6

Should we divert a couple of those bombing raids going to #Libya to stop those tanks in #Syria and send them a message, or do we need to wait for the Security Coucil to get its act together? http://bbc.in/mFIcTh

Western countries should be ashamed of themselves training thugs, no matter how much oil they have! http://bit.ly/kvyZxG

Totally agreed: "Georgia must investigate 'excessive use of force' against protesters" http://bit.ly/l3jMDy

Good news. As Sepp Blatter is standing again and eliminating competition, it is good to see that his role is being investigated. There has been too much corruption in his tenure as well. http://bbc.in/kXr3xm

Ethical behaviour is not a priority, at least for DSK’s friends. http://read.bi/lVzUW1

 

The world keeps failing the test on the Brazilian rainforest! http://bbc.in/kRG6nD

 

Government of the parties, by the parties and for the parties reigns in Spain. Currently in local elections process, due Sunday, and the electoral regulator has banned citizens from meeting in the street and only allows party meetings. Dictatorship of the parties…they organize the rules amongst themselves, for their own benefit, rules are interpreted by their nominees and they rule against all except themselves. A true partocracy. #spanishrevolution #nolesvotes #nonosvamos

Deliberate blinding cannot be right, even when done by the State &
even when requested by the víctim! @AmnestyUK Is 'an eye for an eye'
ever right? http://amn.st/jSsoZH

The fact that Madoff's sons turned him in was more to escape the noose than any Greek tragedy. Some believe that Madoff organized it to let his kids off the hook, sounds credible. http://nyti.ms/kNu0Dz

#Libya's Gadhafi needs to be held to account "ICC to investigate institutionalized gang-rape" http://bit.ly/j9pCFu

#Ianbirrell #paulkagame Now Mr. President that you have committed
yourself to ethical governance so publicly, let us see it!

If LinkedIn does not want to establish good governance in their equity structure and oversight, they should not be given permission to list. http://nyti.ms/lgoYDu

Germany will follow the Spanish approach shut down their nuclear plants for environmentally-friendly reasons and import nuclear energy from France. http://nyti.ms/iEbRRG

AIUK : Uganda: Reject anti-homosexuality bill http://amnesty.org.uk/news_details.asp?NewsID=19448

They should start unraveling Madoff’s lies with what his family knew. They either knew or were massively ignorant, either way they do not deserve to keep the millions that they received over the years. http://bit.ly/jMiQGX

An interesting project, worth keeping an eye on. http://solar-aid.org/

 

That #Syria is out of the way for the UN human rights council is a no-brainer. Who's idea was it to have #Kuwait? http://bit.ly/mo7Lih

Good news, Japan is reviewing its nuclear energy growth. Countries in difficult physical positions should not have unilateral right to do what they want with such dangerous projects. http://bbc.in/jmGGk3

Great news, another finger-waiving Gaddafi thug is off the streets of #Libya. Gaddafi's son believed he had a divine right by birth to sit at the throne of power and his people had no rights but the right to obey without question. With him gone we are one useful step closer to peace and democracy in Libya. These thugs should leave power or die, their choice. We need more such steps. http://wapo.st/jmienR
