Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 9 hours ago
“Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.” ~ writes Edgar Allan Poe in his story *The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether*. This is a fine dictum—in my opinion the most pernicious people in any nation, the ones who make a significant contribution in the decline and fall of their society, are those who believe in everything they hear and everything that they see. You should, as Poe notes in his story, “learn to judge for yourself of what is going on in the world, without trusting to the gossip of others.”

My favourite Govt ministers, ranked

Given that they're more meddlers than they are emancipators, here's my list of my favourite current Government ministers -- based entirely on the Taxpayers Union's list of "how many cabinet papers each Minister had submitted to Cabinet or a Cabinet Committee since they were sworn in." The more papers submitted, the more they reveal themselves as those who most want to push and shove you around. (The number of times their papers were ever read seriously is not recorded.) Hat tip for the list goes to Dave Farrar who, for some reason, calls the most meddling ministers "productive"! ...

Were Russia's Alfa-Class Submarines the Fastest Of All-Time?

Bob Dinn, balance10 - 11 hours ago
When a consciousness that is the gift of God chooses to crucify God in the energy veil then the ever merciful Creator expresses mercy unto Himself and releases His own atoms from the framework of identity that personifies chaos, death and discord. Thus you see, the second death is the highest expression of God’s mercy which is expressed unto God Himself and His imprisoned energies…. And thus you can never judge a book by its cover. You can never judge a man or a woman by name or by origin, by race or religious background. But you must understand the nature of the mingling o...
