Higg's Boson particle exists, but is that all?

Exciting scientists around the globe, it would appear that the research at CERN was successful and that another chapter in physics was finally opened. However, proponents of the standard model should be aware that there is more to come!

Setting the stage for all out war, but why not peace instead? Testosterone overload in Middle East.....

Blessed are the peace makers ...

War is not resolution....which instead occurs with balance and harmony at the deepest level!

War is repetition of the calamities of the past! It does not bring about peace, but war makes future balance, fairness and peace harder!

We need to eliminate the widespread ignorance of better approaches to resolving issues between people who could be friends permanently.

People are to be enjoyed not feared.

We need to create balance based on information about motivation, building the means of cooperation and resource sharing, developing mutual respect and a widespread ethos of caring!

Where has love of family and nation gone? War is not an answer to anyone's frustrations. It serves only fear and negative emotion.

Children brought into conflict are being targeted along with families who are less and less innocent to the potential fo their elimination!

Civil war in Syria seems inevitable and may drag the whole region into conflagration.

Why oh why are the present emphemeral leaders of Iran and Syria doing such nail biting things diplomatically?

A rage fed on an unwillingness to communicate and understand. A fear of change towards love and understanding. The fearful angry animal spirit rages to dominate the thinking caring and loving mind!

If ever the logic of love and understanding were needed, this is the time!

Diamond - Business News - Business - The Independent

There appears to have grown up a culture of deviance and denial on both sides of the rule setting and operating of the New York and London financial makets!

It takes two to tango and obviously the authorities and the banks were dancing like crazy!

Questions should be aked whether London or New York know how to even manage financial markets? Apparently, they don't!

Seem to have abounded in ignorance!

Barclays Libor scandal: Gordon Brown’s team involved, says Chancellor - UK - Scotsman.com

One could predict what has evolved because of the rule changes liberalizing the financial markets. There was no way the banks WERE not on a self seeking grab and still ARE! If the regulatory authorities promote greed you get greed!

Bob Diamond cuts up rough as he quits Barclays | Business | The Guardian

These huge bonuses are not justified in a civilized society so why are we trapped in a system that supports them, even encourages them while shareholders lose value?

Unfair?

Unsustainable capitalist banking system not working!

How the evolution of competition between financial centers is killing banking!

Globe and Mail columnist invites Stephen Harper on a three-day camping trip | OpenFile

Surprising stuff this! One usually hears of getting all the guns together and a good old hunt to kill some animal dead as a dodo! One recalls another conservative leader Cheney shooting some animal. Oops, it was a human!

If Harper went it would mean leaving his killing machine at home so such a vacation might not appeal very much to Harper 's mentality?

Quebec should let the asbestos industry die - The Globe and Mail

There seems no reason to spread asbestos around risking health except economic! Surely, there must be a good technical alternative that mining undermines!

Judge Helped Egypt’s Military to Cement Power - NYTimes.com

So much for separation of powers! Only by a slow slow process of defining separation of powers in a carefully crafted constitution will Egypt even come close to democratic institutions for the long haul.

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!
