The government of Gordon Brown have apologised about the treatment of
genius Alan Turing:

http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page20571

The Universal Turing Machine, Bletchley Park, Enigma- utter genius, co-opted
brutalised and stolen from history by HMG and her wee pals in Intelligence. A
post-mortem apology is better than nothing but it does not amend damage. read full story / add a comment

Referendums modify Irish foundational law and are, in effect, a court and citizens are the jury

This requires, in the interest of fair conduct, criteria such as the following are complied with as in the courts.
There must be
careful, truthful, balanced and clear exposition of the various aspects of the amendment
no preconditioning or intimidation of citizen jurors
adequate opportunity and time for all concerned citizens to evaluate the issues
adequate opportunities for citizen jurors to evaluate the credibility proponents of Yes & No cases etc

Nobody is wondering if pain free animals are feasible how long do we have to wait for pain free soldiers or on the more optimistic side of this knowledge economy debate pain free children, who would save a fortune on first aid, emotional support & no doubt a career in sport.

science is fiction until it is fact..... or is it? read full story / add a comment
