PROUD OF THE EUROPEANS

The strength of character shown by the politicians of Europe and the people they represent, to defy the "free" markets who had nothing but self interest and profit in their motives and their know it all, mouthpiece, "serious" media, best exemplified by Newsnight's, ' I could have been an investment banker' Paul Mason, and strike an accord over the restructuring of Greece's debt is reason to celebrate the measured reason of the democratic process.  I believe the real inspiration behind this is the marvellous Christine Lagarde who said many months ago, if democracy is to be preserved and respected decisions must be taken by democratically elected individuals after due process and proper deliberation.  I am grateful for her leadership and  patience. I salute the Eurozone.

HAVE EUROPE AND IMF LEARNED THEIR LESSON...

Way back in the olden days, the late 1990s, the tiger economies of south east asia crashed, millions evaporated from share values, property prices tumbled, U.S. dollars and european currencies were at peril, in steps the IMF, spreads some cash around countries on the precipice of major default on stringent conditions of restructuring, the very banks that invested in the bubble called in their loans which were paid off with IMF funds, the banks took their money and ran, leaving the bubble countries with nowhere to turn but China and low and behold, the very banks that did a runner, poured money into a bogus U.S. property market.

Watch out all you regulators and watchdogs, the banks may have been give a 70% haircut, but with cheap ECB money floating up in the background, don't let the banks run away somewhere else and inflate another bubble, in say, other emerging markets.

Let's think about a way to develop a coherent, sustainable, global economy.

THE DEAD OF WINTER

About 4.5 billion years ago storms of uncountable atoms swirl around in great balls of  dust, gas and fire. These atoms assemble in large clumps of solid material.

These large clumps of material attract each other and smash into each other and form larger lumps of spinning mass.

Early earth is hot with a constantly melting crust and lots of geothermal energy like volcanoes and deep-sea vents.  

Asteroids, meteors and comets smash into it relentlessly.

The electrons of an Oxygen atom get mixed up with two atoms of Hydrogen and the whole mess stabilizes as a molecule of water.  

Then lots of water molecules collect to form bodies of water. 

Chemical evolution and the formation of more-complex chemicals, either in space or on planets requires energy sources like the sun and internal planetary heat

Heat and energy are exchanged as the substance transforms from one state into another creating the precise conditions required for the formation of amino acids.  

Together with this energy, the nurturing nature of water and the explosive potential of the amino acids, the precise conditions required for the propagation of DNA are created.  DNA is the prerequisite of life.

While an intelligent design may be behind these developments, how is any of this consistent with the versions of the truth delivered by creationist.

MADONNA AT SUPERBOWL

Many beers into the Superbowl and up pops Madonna, she looks like some spooky  dime store mannaquin that escaped from the window doing I'm bigger than Liz Taylor in Cleopatra entrance, a Vogue magazine product placement, too many goofy dancers doing Hullabaloo on speed.  I'm not freaked out by much but this really freaked me out.  In the old days singers had bad teeth and the audience preferred to dance rather than gaze upon their greatness.  Now, it's perfect teeth, perfect bodies, prefect choreography, perfect shit.

FACEBOOK IPO...A QUESTION...

With the Facebook IPO imminent, we have become the product being sold to the purveyors of advertising but not to be here is not to be a part of and involved in social networking and not to be a part of social networking is not to be a part of C21st.  Add to that the networks used by the internet, the media of fulfilment, are largely taxpayer funded,  does one not think it reasonable that each of us gets a royalty every time we look at an advertisement on the internet?
