| Human Life Worth Less than Janet's Nipple |

 In no way is this eco or geeky, but since no one seems to have noticed this anywhere else, I had to tell the world. This week the U.S. Congress sent to bills to the White House that will likely become law next week. Bill #1 (S 2803) The maximum fine to a mine operator for violations that could easily result in a human death is raised to $220,000 Bill #2 (S 193) The maximum fine to a broadcaster that shows "sexual material that does not rise above the level of obscenity" is raised to $325,000 That's right, this week will go down in history as the week when Congress declared that Janet Jackson's Nipple is a worse offense than killing coal miners. Thanks to my friend Abby for calling this to my attention. We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.
