TED Talks - William Li: Can we eat to starve cancer? Very interesting As per the cancer Torch's wife has, I found this: Therapeutic Advances in the Treatment of Glioblastoma: Rationale and Potential Role of Targeted Agents Abstract Despite advances in standard therapy, including surgical resection ...

The Meddle East is propelled by madness anyways... so a Spenglerman more or less won't change much of the equation anyways. A meaningless and questionable comment. You will be hard-pressed to demonstrate that politics in e.g. Turkey is any more "mad" than the US primaries. Good point. Har...

Nice Imagine what could happen if Achmedinejad&Co behaved the way the photographer did vis-a-vis Silverback Alpha Uniteted States ov Americas!!

Being docile and humble... the next phase in Iranian evolution?

Would this in time write off Romney for R. Paul to be the Rep contender against Obama? Somehow RP seems to be a possible real challenge to Obama.. but that's a gut feeling.

More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.

Suppose Azari is "invited" (as in "if you promise to do it voluntarily we won't force you to do it" ) to only post here? Unless I am mistaken...

Harvard Democrat banker Jack Lew now Obama's chief of staff. Yet Republican philosophy is to blame for subprime mortgages and fleabaggers silent as Obama anoints yet another of the 1% to lord over us all. Pure morally bankrupt Kafka. http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/new-chief-staff-former-hedge-...

Still a contest between RP and Obama would make for an atypically interesting POTUS campaign. It would be even more interesting if RP was actually elected POTUS. I would rejoice! He is so much more human than the rest too. http://www.premiumorange.com/cataloguescitroen/photos%20du%20site/tintin.jpg

"Unregulated" does not exist.

The USA, as any country, wants its daily needs be met. The USA drinks a lot of oil.. so naturally it wants to be sure the supply is guaranteed. This is not some moral abstraction or fairy tale about a power hungry madman.. but about Americans, their families that want to continue the life they are u...

But how big is the gold bubble? Has enough money moved to gold in the last 3 years to really matter? And why would the popping of that bubble require hyper-inflationary levels of public spending? In the 1933 recession-depression there was a spike of deflation (as a result of too much debt poisening...

As for why no (hyper)inflation yet, if the Austrians are correct. Just a speculative thought: This huge debt world wide and the way those trillions of printed money are kept afloat artificially (without doing much for real economic recovery) will initially cause sharp deflation. Very low economic ac...

Who said that God is supposed to be sweet? Christians had to rewrite their books to make him a little less pissed off. Maybe he was and kept giving man a chance until man sent his 'son' packing back to the Heavens. After that the gloves were off. God does not owe us anything. We owe him. And, not e...

Swiss banking secrecy (Chappatte)

Well I'll give you points for the attempt. But the following is the next step in the chain. In America we have thousands of banks. According to Warren Buffett only 4 needed bailing out. The reality is when you have a government project the magnitude of what the Democrats were creating, somebody is ...

Well, I think Kant was 'useful', particularly in showing the knots one ties themselves into trying to explain extensions by starting with the brain. No knot to me. Just a scientific fact one occasionally needs to take into account during certain philosophical discussions. ;) You become too passive....

I have no idea what it means.
