Small Is Beautiful
Are there too many people in the world today? Some politicians, academics, writers, commentators, anthropologists, teachers, doctors, economists, professors, ecologists, policemen, social workers, judges, etc., say so. They reckon there are too many of us competing for the world’s food, water, oil, fresh air, wood, etc.
Very few measures have been taken to reduce this [...]

It Dilutes Your Blood!!
Sheen says: Seeing as how Heen mentioned the possibility of drinking water while watching “L’Âge d’Or”, I want to take the opportunity to chide people who carry a little bottle of mineral water around with them at all time. I noticed this here in Zaragoza about ten years ago, and supposed that tourists had been [...]

And The Nobel Prize Goes To… er… hang on…
Like many people, I was surprised at the news that this year’s Nobel Prize for literature had gone to Jean Marie Gustave Le Clézio. I was aware that the committee that gives this award has a sort of knee-jerk opposition to any writer hailing from the United States and, from a political point of view, [...]

I’m in love with Sarah Palin
Heen says: As far as I can make out, I was one of the few non-Alaskans who knew who Sarah was up until John McCain appointed her as his running mate in the US elections. About a year ago I was browsing American senators on the Internet for some obscure reason (well, it makes a [...]

Nukes? Hmmmm
Heen says:
Maybe it’s not official, but nuclear power is definitely back on the agenda. Who would have bet their money on this source of energy after Chernobyl and the positive image that “renewable” (a cuddly word if ever there was) energies enjoy? But here it is, folks – the mighty atom raises its radioactive little [...]

It’s about those candidates…
Heen says:
It’s so obvious I just can’t understand how nobody has noticed or mentioned it before. Hillary Clinton is a man and Barack Obama is white.
Commentators overlook (or just don’t know!!) that Hillary used to be called Walter up until her sex change in 1967, and that Barack was so impressed by Michael Jackson’s [...]

Why oh why oh biofuels
Sheen says:
It was just four or five years ago that a handful of mostly German and American agro-businessmen were proudly announcing they’d solved the problem of fossil fuel shortages, promising farmers profitable harvests and assuring us their new discovery was as environmentally friendly as you could get.
How could they be so cynical? How could we [...]

Girl/Boycott
Heen says:
As the flame of Olympus nears the city of Peking (yeah, I know, they call it Beijing these days), voices have been heard calling for the Games to be boycotted. Not that it would be the first time, of course – the 1980 Moscow Olympics were boycotted by a number of countries headed by [...]
