The King's Speech
By now many of us will have seen the film. The interesting thing is whether we understand it's implications. The fact that we may owe are very existence to the courage created by the King's speeches are chastening enough, but we also see how fragile is the complexity of events that lead to our very existence. Not only are we an accident of physics, but of the minutest events and coincidences. Can we accept that? We live and breath, and through our sharing of air, we co-mingle with almost all life. It's truly remarkable that we might breath the same molecules that conceivably could have passed through anyone in history. Whatever, else we might think, our reality is a shared one!

Article: Who Owns Kafka's Writings and They are Valuable and Many Still Unpublished
Who Owns Kafka? He was a man of the world, and not just a Jewish author. So the question is a difficult one and in some ways we all own Kafka!

The Age of the Scientific Spirit is Rapidly Upon Us
A scientific spirit is a reality that we cannot choose to forget. People will use science and we must ensure it is used even handedly...

Energy Advantage
Do you believe this stuff? Even if you don't, others do and they speculate with real dollars to realise their vision of reality! It takes all kinds to make a world as dangerous and fascinating as the one we live in...

A Tribute to My Loyal Blog Readers - Thank you from Wooh!
I am celebrating a milestone for my blog commemorating 200 relatively loyal readers!
Writing a daily blog is addictive. Fortunately, it is not done in secret. Some will have noticed that I point to other people's blogs and news a lot. That's the beauty of the Internet. It leads to an economy of search, if used correctly. I don't always have to write a lot, but I do have to know what I am about. My main message is that even if your death is near, you still have a lot to live for, and your death is not the final end to your existence. This realisation that one is an enormously powerful entity should never escape you, even when you feel weak and helpless. You are a phoenix and will rise again. Death is only a temporary trap as you regroup. However, there are no maidens or knights waiting for you as you cross over. That you must do here on earth. There is calm and then disturbance and you begin anew. All your energy is not lost, but it is transformed and recaptured into the new you. You are never totally alone. You have companions in your journey, which you can choose to ignore if you wish. Most do! Throughout their whole lives they ignore their travelling companions assuming they are not there, but they are. These guardians of your being are a necessary part of your existence and never leave. They remain and they can connect you to the College of Light, a fountain of infinite possibilities, plus! You are aware of the fountain in your dreams as visions streaming before your eyes, connections to universes of worlds, you have yet to see. While on earth, it was Wuh, the wind that gave you insight and life, a rude blow of molecules, but beyond and through the fountain of the College of Light, there is the World of the Great Spring, the Unveiling of the Truth, the Source of Being, the Almighty Cloud of the Unknowing, the Boss! What happens is that you enter a non-molecular world, a world trillions and trillions of times smaller than your present world. It carries your whole being as a stream, not a Wooh stream, but a stream of what makes up light, not photons, but infinitely massless and minute waves. Your whole earthly life remains forever as a resource for the Boss, so be good!
Love Wooh

The World Waits for Qaddafi to be Removed by His Own People
The World Waits for Qaddafi to be Removed by His Own People
And inevitably, the military will have a big role to play in the aftermath of Gaddafi's fall. "We hope to have a democratic state, not a military state," Hussein says. "We are fed up with a military state. The military is only for protecting the nation — not for ruling it."

In Iraq, TIME reports:
"A billion-dollar fighter jet purchase has been postponed in light of food shortages. A raft of other social reforms has been launched"
All this should have happened sooner!
Military states suck!

What's Happening in Iraq?
The problem is that Iraq too is feeling the pinch of world recession and people want to see progress. Working democracies are very gradual processes and people are impatient.

Libya's War of the Colonels: Col. Gaddafi Meet Col. Hussein - TIME
This is heart wrenching stuff going on right now! You are witnessing history in the making and the bravery of men who want to right a wrong! We are no doubt aware that a world without Qaddafi's despotism could be a better world.

What Long Term Trends are Starving Ordinary People and Gradually Moving the World into the Direction of Violence
Guys, we have a problem!
We may think we are immune to what has happened in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, but and it is an important but, there may be more to it. Best to be forewarned.
I think of them as bastard worldwide economic, social and political cycles that create desperation and then violence. They start with financial crisis and instability of major currencies. There is inflation and social upheaval.
The mathematics is in economic models that show economies moving into unstable regions in which there is breakdown. We ignore such dynamic processes and mathematics at our peril.
What's starving the world into violence is our denial of a dangerous economic cycle made up of forces that can lead in the long term to moral disintegration, social disintegration and conflict between neighbours, formerly friends living side by side for generations. At the worst, we can easily remember what happened in Poland during World War II.
Don't deny that it did not happen because it can happen again. Religious leaders witnessed it and were helpless as criminals organised and ordinary people sought refuge in leaders such as Hitler who sought their own solutions to what they conceived as the problem, turning men against men, and moving from sanity into irrationality, oppression and eventually towards mass murder.
Perhaps, the key to what we are witnessing in terms of unrest worldwide is the confluence of several forces with the motivator of starvation being the strongest.
The dark side of economics ......How about financial crisis leading to uncertainty leading to reflation economics leading to higher liquidity leading to temporary stock market recovery leading to liquidity trap and low real growth leading to higher food prices leading to speculation on food and commodities leading to higher commodity prices generally leading to worldwide inflationary pressures leading to hunger leading to anger worldwide leading to rebellion and taking to the streets leading to revolution and taking food into control leading to fuller stomachs leading to temporary happiness for some while inflation in food prices is leading to more and more hunger in others, leading to stock market collapse in an non-recoverable way, leading to repression and dictatorships and violence worldwide....perhaps a major war.
Is it possible? Yes!
Is it necessary? No! NO......
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/daniel-dicker/food-commodity-speculatio_b_815949.html
Speculation arises from excess liquidity before the economic rebound. As profit margins recover prices are rising and unemployment is rife. Speculation, if not managed by higher interest rates and tightening of the money supply will lead to complete moral decline and rebellion everywhere, not just Africa.
Both private and government sectors democrats and republicans need to work cooperatively to stabilise the recovery.
Obama's role is never more crucial!
Too much money out there!
The cycle of temporary economic recovery begins, but will it go off track as world leaders and political parties fumble, and bumble?
http://wn.com/Commodity_Speculation_=_Hunger
There are bad consequences to speculation in food commodities, repression in dictatorships and unrest leading to instability around the world.
It is time for world leaders to wake up to what has happened owing to the consequences of American inflation in speculative money worldwide created during 2002-2010.
The dollar is dangerous. It acts as a subtle a revolutionary agent, like grease in a gun. It buys weapons from countries like Britain to suppress people in countries like Libya. It causes starvation through food price speculation. It forces desperate people to rebel who are then shot in the streets as their repressive leaders act control their concept peace and stability.
Think what could happen in China with a repressive military despot taking over!

YOU HAVE REACHED WOOH'S STREAM
The Internet User's Best Kept Secret
Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth.
