It struck me today, that there is a fundamental question at the core of all of this:
Do governments and industry really want to create a sustainable world? The answer must be

Trashing our resources
Sunday, June 7th, 2009Hi, in the midst of MPs expenses and economics posts. Something a little more sobering, and interconnected with these.
This post was prompted by a conversation this morning with (more…)
Saving the banks, what message was sent?
Thursday, March 26th, 2009Yes, I know this is more about banking and economics you might say. Actually it’s about human individual and social patterns, it’s just the examples are in finance/economics…to a point. Today’s is a military and literary reference.
In the novel ‘Candide’ Voltaire wrote: (more…)

- Avoiding linking the two topics of woe and (more…)

One of which was getting bouts of spam comments to the blog and a few with common phrases such as:
‘It’s fun. Atp subscribe to the rcc perhaps’.
So amongst other things I’ve been trying to get a handle on how to deal with these. Unfortunately no real solution found so I’m back and blogging in the hope that someone out there can offer any advice.
And what times we’ve seen since last I was here! So here goes with a little smorgasborg of nuts. (more…)
What it really means to be healthy – part 2
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008Thanks for all the comments, and for the references.
This is a longer expansion of the comment made a moment ago [22-May-08] on: What it really means to be healthy
Peter’s note on the improved final amendments of the NICE wording makes sense. The final wording removes the goal definition from an intervention that may be beneficial regardless of goal, it now reads:
Cognitive behavioural therapy and/or graded exercise therapy should be offered to people with mild or moderate CFS/ME and provided to those who choose these approaches, because currently these are the interventions for which there is the clearest research (more…)
