Spent the morning on the Cornish coast in a little cove with the sun shining, the tide out and no one else on the beach. Just me and the dog and the world dying in every corner and as i handles a few of the stones and listened to the waves I thought of how…

In What To Trust
The plethora of laws covering just about everything we do proves that human beings cannot be trusted at their word. though, bizarrely, then tyrants tell you what they are going to do believe them, they usually do it. We cannot always trust our own eyes because the brain interprets so much we can be fooled….
Supplements
I would never discount the need for vitamins and minerals in our diets – we are after all a chemical factory and we need what we have evolved to need. What amazes me is that we have become so inured to bad food that we think supplements is the answer and not an organic preservative…
Kick the Left
I was talking to a friend yesterday and he made a rather cunning point about the Republicans min the USA.

It was written in honour of a Mrs. Biddell, a widow and seamstress living in wretched conditions. In what was, at that time, common practice, Mrs….
I Don’t Need …
I don’t need a god to tell me not to kill, not to go to war, not to lie to to make money, not to rape or abuse women, not to hurt children, not to place my culture above all others, not to think of my country as better than all others, not to demand…
