The trouble is, they only deal with one message per issue.<br /><br />D - I agree, complexity and uncertainty are huge issues, hopelessly underestimated by second-rate scientists.A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-75682081596245734482011-07-09T15:00:21.102+01:002011-07-09T15:00:21.102+01:00The science establishment and the requirements of ...The science establishment and the requirements of commerce and government have led to major distortions.

While I have a low opinion of politicians, I don't think they're all stupid - so my money is on the latter.<br /><br />Quite what that ulterior motive is, I'm not sure. I'm not wholly comfortable with the NWO argument (although I am deeply suspicious of Common Purpose) - so simple greed or some desperate attempt to salvage capitalism perhaps?<br /><br />Regards<br />TTTime Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822766661019925987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-76353970853052335652011-07-08T17:37:08.347+01:002011-07-08T17:37:08.347+01:00Hmm - somehow that doesn't cheer me up.Hmm - somehow that doesn't cheer me up.A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-58799205096168663072011-07-08T17:29:18.145+01:002011-07-08T17:29:18.145+01:00Scientists once blew up Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
