  Thanks, Tom – you always seem to give me a healthy skepticism for ‘scientific announcements’.

    Strega, when government departments have done what Congress funded them to do, Congress cuts their budgets and they have to reduce their payrolls. This time it’s NASA’s turn.

I am familiar with the work of Bruce Hood. He is highly regarded in his field of science. I have a couple of his books including “SuperSense” above which I consider to be very good. It deals with how our brains can so readily believe in the supernatural.

1. We saved the world a couple of times.

Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Volunteers from Ireland, contingents from India and the Carribean etc entered the war to help Europe from nearly the beginning. America entered the war quite late, letting its European allies and trading partners fend for themselves while countless millions died, then at…[Read more]
