		So when Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested recently that the city's parks could be named after corporate sponsors as a way of helping to pay for their upkeep, it was a logical extension of a trend, begun with stadiums and now being adopted by non-profit institutions, to trade the rights to a name for corporate dollars.
		With the city facing a multibillion dollar budget shortfall and parks slated for their lowest budget in 10 years, some parks advocates welcome the private sector's involvement in parks and would not be opposed to giving naming rights to corporate donors.

	TPMCafe Why Courts Should Not Defend Darwin
		I think it is you, not those who are arguing with you, that profoundly misunderstands the issue, the stakes, and the reason why the courts must uphold the Bill of Rights.
		I put Darwin in quotes because the Darwin imposed was the Herbert Spencer's economic Darwinism, but the legal idea was the same as those looking for courts to stop intelligent design: stop crude majorities from imposing rules on others that violate scientific truth.
		Yes, we need to fightfor the truth of scientific accuracy and evolution in the public sphere, but using the courts because we have failed to convince a majority of the population of evolution is both anti-democratic and bad strategy over the long term.
