WikiLeaks

[pyraxis]

Is anybody else following what's been happening?

It's like forum drama on a global scale, redefining the question of how much information it's good to expose, in a world where technology has made it feasible to distribute damning data en masse. Instead of the case-by-case question of how much can be released, the power dynamics are becoming redefined as a case-by-case question of how to stand out in a clamoring crowd. It links back to the problems plaguing first-time authors in the publishing field and questions of mass media control of public opinion.

Here's one article (Yahoo News via London) but there are many many more.

Edit: Another, New York Times

Where is the United Nations?

I guess people in political power shouldn't do/say stupid and condemning stuff.

I didn't mean to take so long in replying to your question about my book, I still am hammering away at some of it... by way of beginning an answer ... how familiar are you with Genesis of the monotheistic bibles?

I am a little familiar; I know the classic stories in Christian Catholic and Anglican contexts.

No worries about taking time. The holiday season is always busy.

Well, in CH 4 we go planet made, peoples 1 & 2 made, kicked out of Eden, persons 3 & 4 come about and the first murder... busy week. Then person 3 gets kicked "out of the Lord's presence" and he goes to live in the land of Nod, finds a wife, and has a baby all before ch. 5. *Head spins around* "huh?" just a minute ago there were 4 people on the planet and now there's a wife, where'd she come from? Nod, are there more people there or just the one female?
Well, I've constructed a Nod; a civilization with thousands of people and a 200 year history before Eden, THEN as if by supernature, Eden appears and from there we will assume that both lineages are true, creationism AND the History that predates it.
Well, Why not?
