Appearances can be deceiving...

Susan Boyle's performance... (from "Britain's got Talent" April 11th)

Just listen!... Because appearances can be deceiving!...

Where the priorities lie...

Computer Spies Breach Fighter-Jet Project

This project costs... hold on... 300.000.000.000 $...

The world's prominent war machine, the strongest military force in the planet is not content with what they've got and they spend more money for arms... Money that they could provide for all the poor and needy (of their country, at least) many times over...

Where the priorities lie? In Death!...

Born this day, 120 years ago... the greatest actor of all time... a true genius!...

Goodbye, co-Dreamer

Dave Arneson (1948-2009)

Another pioneer in Human Culture left us today!... We, Role-Players, are devastated...

Goodbye, fellow dreamer!... Have nice games with the DM in Heaven!...

Redemption First Thing in the Morning!

There is, actually, a way redeem ourselves in the face of... well, ourselves and make our world a better place right now, from tomorrow morning…
Not a good place to live, because the damage that has been done is already too much for our generation (an the several upcoming) to live in a nice world, but better…

Of course, the catch is that all the people in the world must put aside their differences, selfishness and greed… simultaneously…

So, what to do!…
First thing in the morning, we abolish Capitalism and make money redundant!… After all it’s just bad quality paper and numbers…
Then, the only people who go to work will be those who produce and transfer food (the essentials only, no candies, no beverages), medicine, the doctors, those who are responsible for the energy and water supply and all kinds of engineers that have to do with (renewable) energy.

Got it? Right! The rest of us will go for volunteer work until NOT A SINGLE PERSON in the world lacks the essentials (food, clean water, clothing, housing)…

Don’t worry, there’s plenty of it to go round for everyone!…

Then, we must make sure that no-one will ever have two of anything essential while someone else has none!…

OK?
Are you ready for the new, better world?

See you tomorrow morning!!!

From personal experience...

Capitalism is NOT compatible with Natural Sciences!!...

I'm waiting for your contribution...

Rachel Corrie (1979-2003)

No one can take away from me

My identity,

For it is mine.

Palestinian am I.

I am the river that flows

Through my land.

I am the mountain

Noble and magnificent

Rising up out of chaos and destruction.

I greet the morning sun

That shines down on my fertile valleys

And parches my barren desert.

I am the red poppy and yellow daffodil

That grow upon my bloodstained hills.

I am the battle cry of freedom

That echoes through my corridors

And every fiber of my being.

Palestinian am I.

I am the proud owner of

Orange orchards and lemon blossoms

And honey bees, wild and free.

I am the David child wielding a single stone

Against the Israeli Goliath.

I am not afraid,

For truth is with me and God is on my side.

If I die,

A choir of angels will honor me

And later, my parents will grasp my outstretched hand

And join me in Heaven.

I am the tears of

Mothers weeping for their dead sons.

I am the footsteps of ancient prophets

Who foretold of doom and destruction

To those who torture and oppress me.

My brethren are the doves, hummingbirds and seagulls

That fly unhindered above my sea.

I am Palestinian,

Therefore, I am.

No one can take my identity

Away from me,

Not tanks or guns or bombs

Meant to desecrate me and kill me.

My country lives in me.

I am the cry of liberty

No matter what they take from me,

They can't take away my identity

Or my dignity.

Palestinian am I.

-Palestinian am I, Edna Yaghi

Mahatma Gandhi's memorabilia in auction

It is such a sacrilege to sell this Holy man's belongings!...

Of course, the question is: "How did they come to the seller's possession?"...
