I don’t usually talk about Greece or politics in general, unless they touch on the issues I favor in this blog. This time however… no wait, I won’t talk about those things now either. I will let some others discuss the recent rescue plans for “bailing out” Greece -and the whole Eurozone really.

Yay! Today the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) dropped their libel case against Simon Singh after two whole years! A turning point was when a couple of weeks ago three of the most senior judges in England upheld Simon’s appeal thus allowing him to defend his article much more easily.

Lately, many Catholic Christians (”journalists” or simple bloggers) have declared that: “science proves pope was right about condoms“… I find the use (or better, misuse) of the rules of logic by those people baffling. I also find the gross misdirection away from the actual problem with such statements baffling. Let me explain. Here are the facts of the case.

After much pressure in the form of a petition that received thousands of signatures, Gordon Brown released yesterday a statement apologizing for the inhumane treatment of Alan Turing.
