Timothy Stanley's very personal war on science -

Very interesting approach to events affecting one! It's our judgement that we are not at the center of what exists.

The universe, that we see only temporarily, trundles merrily on after we are gone. It has it's own logic and that logic may not be what we understand.

We can choose to speculate as to the correct logic of the universe, but the longer time stretches the period over which we speculate conceivably the more speculative we shall be.

The problem is that space-time cannot be traversed equally in all directions the energy cost deciding which direction we see. Only those futures and places with low energy cost of viewing will actually become visible to us.

Federal Regulators Sue Big Banks Over Mortgages - NYTimes.com

This is a very necessary stage in the process of correction and adjustment to the scam, some would say fraud, perpetrated by the big banks on the American and World scene. It is something that will slow down the housing market and could take years! Nobody checked to establish that the securities being sold almost everywhere were genuine secure paper. We all know they were the product of greed and loose regulation. Nevertheless, it was the banks that sold the paper and that knew the paper was insecure. Why did they do it? They could do it and they thought they would get away with it.

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. ... more!
