Historian David Starkey branded a 'racist' and a 'bigot' after saying Rochdale sex gang had values 'entrenched in foothills of the Punjab' | Mail Online

One has to be careful with comparisons as these carry too much baggage for some! Truth may be dulled by comparisons!

Celiacs, gluten frees, wheat frees and the problem with processed fruit drinks

Unfortunately, there is no rest for those sensitive to allergens in general because of the absense of legislation almost anywhere to label ingredients regarding what sweetens, or flavourizes, or is part of the creation process of ordinary fruit juices sold in restraurants and elsewhere. J2's are a nightmare!

So if you are vulnerable, once a victim of non labelled food and you are destroyed mentally from ever drinking a juice again.

Libya Jihadis Offer 2 Paths - Democracy or Militancy - NYTimes.com

In Dernah, the split between extremist and moderate approaches comes to a head. Long an outpost of moderate politics, it has become a place that has produced extreme politics. Win the hearts of Dernah and win a future for Libya that would put it at the forefront of Europe because of its location and potential as a leading Arab democracy.

Dernah in Eastern Libya has a long peaceful past that needs to be recaptured! What happened? Gaddafi happened, a man of hatred for Isreal and fear of democracy. A man driven by old Solviet politics and a tool of the USSR!

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!
