Wired News: The Son of Patriot Act Also RisesIn the land of the free and the home of the brave!!! makes me want to move there right now!! The current administration have realised more constitutional change out of sept 11th than any other previous administration. The government is at its most powerful whilst also being at its most secretive. The Pres has gthe power now to make all kinds of decisions without oversight. Which is quite concerning, considering the general belief that he is controlled by a cabal of hawks that consist of most of his dads mates!!

fight aging - extend your life

The Longevity Meme -- live healthily - fight aging - extend your lifeThis is a really interesting article, the author predicts using models that the average human life span could be extended (with you looking youthful the entire time) to around 1000 years. Would you choose to do this??? do you want to see the future? would we become more intelligent if we had the oppurtunity to learn more? Would this only be available to the rich Western societies? He's used death models to show how many people die in different countries every year from natural causes!! staggering number of people karking it every day!! His figures reckon that in the entire history of man around 34 billion of us have walked the planet of which 28 billion have already died!!

TIA lives? Report lists US gov 'dataveillance' activities | The RegisterThis is a bit worrying, on the one hand do you want the government to be able to datamine for information that may protect you against terrorist attacks? that has to be a worthwhile goal, however the current administrations policy of preemptive control as opposed to the traditional American isolationist principles make it a much more worrying proposition. Information can be used badly and it can also be manipulated to prove the case for harming people and countries. Seems like we are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, here's hoping for regime change in Washington later on in the year. Principles shoule be an inherent trait of government not a 4 year term of office

CIA fears Iran duped U.S. into Iraq war - (United Press International)This would be a major turn up for the books this is clandestine manipulation on a Mossad scale if the Iranian intelligence service have managed to trick the US and by proxy GB into ousting Saddam, although i'm not sure what their reasons would be, i suppose the country is now destabilised and they can send agitators in themselves......makes you wonder though
