I am very surprised this is not all over the internet.
It seems that humans have already been cloned. Or more precisely, human cloned embryos have been implanted into 4 women and scientists are waiting for the result. In a middle east country, where cloning is permited. OF COURSE. Noone can oppose progress.

Politics is such a weird thing... For example, I was reading about the Iranian president and his claim that his country will not be attacked during a military ceremony. This was because of the rumors that Iran will try to built a nuclear bomb and that Israel is going to attack. Well, all those rumors have been refuted.
Still, the unease about Iran ( Read more... )

Because when you have demonstrations, you can't actually tell the looters and the hooligans that they are not invited...
Because the words about the vastness and beauty of the world are really beautiful, but they need an example...

I just read that a business park will be created at Parnitha, the mountain near Athens which was burned last year. I am extremely angry. Those who will built it had already asked for an approval of their plans in 2006. They got rejected. Politics. My ass. Serious business. Even I can raise the taxes. Trying to care for the greater good with taking ( Read more... )

I just read in blog that we will have the first gay marriage in Greece. It will be at the Town Hall of a distant island called Tilos. It was intriguing how the announcement was highly political as it was emphasized that the mayor belongs to a big Greek political party and the announcement was also made at a leftist newspaper.

This got me worried today: I listened to the radio that some people in France want to segregate schools according to gender again. European Union directive no longer obliges the mixing, so they want to take advantage of that. Maybe the new law proposed will only be applied to physical education.
If they create just a few segregated schools, then ( Read more... )

This is the title of the speech Barack Obama gave a few days ago and we watched it today in my Civil Rights Movement class. On YouTube! It felt like science fiction! Anyway, it was a beautiful speech and there was a heated discussion afterwards which I would like to convey here.

First of all, it was a political discourse that we rarely see in ( Read more... )

Second post for today! It's not my fault that so many things are happening in the world. (And it's still 30 minutes until I can go home)
Since elections have been announced in Pakistan, I got interested in Musharaf's opposition leader, Imran Khan. Right now he is hiding from the army since the country was declared in an emergency state but he plans ( Read more... )

Oh great! Sarkozy announces that he wants to reduce the state and he is facing a revolt. If the French cannot do it, Greeks never will either.

Le Monde is talking about a feeling of secirity in the public service, although unemployment is reducing.
M. Sarkozy avance avec prudence vis-à-vis des fonctionnaires

The BBC site's headline is unacceptable ( Read more... )

What will the future lay before us?
If Nea Dimocratia remains the ruling party, then I want very much to see it continue the promised reforms at education. I met one of its members at Monastiraki and he said that it’s not very different to Liberal Alliance ideologically. Well, prove it! The reforms at the education were announced before the ( Read more... )
