It was worth waiting to the end to hear Druyan tell Dawkins to shut up and make the case for not antagonising people but having a "better" story. "Scientists don't burn people at the stake" - Euan

"This isn’t really about expenses. What’s going on has been brewing for a long time - it’s a more general disaffection with the structure of politics in the UK and a belief that politicians just aren’t up to the job of taking important decisions. It was only a matter of time before we found a touchpaper issue to really get things going. I’d focus on making Westminster a better decision making body. It’s going to take a long time for that to happen but there are some things that could be done quite quickly." (It *is* about expenses, and should be/could be/ought to be about so much more, too.) - David Smith

Too many employers are poorly equipped to weather the recession because they use workers’ skills and talents poorly, tie them up in rules and procedures, and give them little say over how they do their work, The Work Foundation says today. - Lee Bryant

"LEDit is a led screen ticker emulator for the iPhone and iPod Touch. LEDit is great to say something to your friends when they can’t hear you, such as at the disco, in class, in business meetings, etc. All you have to do is type your message and hit the ‘display message’ button and LEDit will scroll your message on the screen." - Chris Messina from Mento

"I regret the suffering, I know it’s big trouble -- but it promises massive change & a massive change was inevitable. The way we ran the world was wrong. I've never seen so much panic around me, but panic is the last thing on my mind. My mood is eager impatience. I want to see our best, most creative, best-intentioned people in world society directly attacking our worst problems. I'm bored with the deceit. I'm tired of obscurantism & cover-ups. I'm disgusted with cynical spin & the culture war for profit. I'm up to here with phony baloney market fundamentalism. I despise a prostituted society where we put a dollar sign in front of our eyes so we could run straight into the ditch. The cure for panic is action ... any action is better than whining. We can do better. ... Grow up to the size of your challenges. Bang out some code, build some platforms you don't have to duct-tape any more, make more opportunities than you can grab for your little selves, & let's get after living real lives" - David Smith

PPS: Now he just popped over to say that it's an interesting read after all... Memo to self: stop reporting what others are saying, read it yourself. Roger, over and out! :-) - Yule Heibel

"In Robert Graves's book Count Belisarius, he wrote that when they told Belisarius that an army of 100,000 troops was mustering against him, he calmly said: "Very few generals can manage an army of a hundred thousand." And when they said: "It's now 150,000", he'd say: "Even fewer generals can manage an army of 150,000." Exactly."""No matter how many communes anybody invents, the family always creeps back," said anthropologist Margaret Mead. Communes aren't in fashion right now, it's conglomerates and global empires. But in the end we can all relate only to a certain number of people; a unity more or less like a family." - David Smith
