Add Me To The List Mr Blair
The terrorists are winning. Gradually but perceptibly, the USA and the United Kingdom (UK) are shedding their liberal democratic veneer, axing their traditions, reinterpreting their constitution (USA) and case law (UK) and, thus, becoming police states. Both the US Patriot Act, recently extended by Congress and Tony Blair’s newly acquired powers to exclude and deport not only active terrorists but…
The Caveman And The Alien
When Chancellor Kohl’s party and Edith Cresson are suspected of gross corruption – these are labelled “aberrations” in an otherwise honest West. When NASA in collaboration with its UK counterpart blow a 130 million US dollars spacecraft to smithereens having confused the metric system for its pound/feet archaic predecessor – people nod their head in disapproval: “accidents happen”.

The tribes of the Balkans stop bleeding each…
Politics The Corruption Curve
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.” (Lord Acton) We all like to think of ourselves as kind, honest, and benevolent. In our hearts, we are convinced that should we ever attain personal power, whether through building our own business, rising to the corporate executive office, becoming extraordinarily influential in our…
Nuclear Energy The Green Solution
The United States with less than 5% of the world’s population consumes roughly 25% of the world’s energy. Some might argue that this is egregious, while others would say that it is simply a yardstick by which the world’s largest economy is measured. But for whatever the reason for our vast consumption of energy, the fact remains that in order…
Is Bush Ready To Cut And Run In Iraq
DETROIT — We are living under a regime that has made war and torture highly profitable for a handful of scummy corporations and individuals. That’s the way the Busheviks like doing business, keeping their dirtiest deeds in the hands of for-profit surrogates. Openness and accountability — hallmarks of a free society — have no place in the mad project to…
