One more nail in the coffin of US war against drug production

When will they understand that war against drug production is totally inefficient and fosters corruption, fascism and crime and is a mere CIA tool for dirty-tricks aimed at keeping central America in control of US money interests ?
The solution is well-known : free production, that will slash market prices and exhaust the traffic's fuel : Money ! The market law should usefully be applied here, for once !
Time to re-read Raymond Kendall, Interpol's former Secretary General, who was already announcing the failure of the war on drugs in 2004 !

A most gracious defeat

John McCain acknowledged defeat in the most gracious manner. Not surprising from such a most remarkable man and honourable military officer.
I hail both Obama's victory and McGain grace. A formidable 2008 US presidential election indeed, that will wash the disgraceful stains of the 2004 edition !
The USA, at times, can be be the worst or the best democracy altogether...

Loving European integration when the going gets tough

So, like these selfish Irish who sought EU integration when they were dirt-poor but reject it when they're filthy rich (thanks to the integration !), now the Danes, who repeatedly snubbed the EURO want to join it as all Scandinavian currencies are crashing ?
What about "Scandinavian superiority" over what they used to call "Esperanto-money" or "Monkey-money" ?!?
Want to know what the monkeys think of you ? Fuck off ! Keep your monkey-crowns and choke on it !

Such a simple way to detect photosynthesis on distant exoplanets ! And photosynthesis means...err...LIFE !!!

Ca y est, je me mets à l'Esperanto

After having travelled all over Europe and North America and living abroad for 6 years, after having been confronted with the dirt-linguistic ignorance of most people and realised how many of our issues actually are linguistic problems, I fully comprehended the potential of Esperanto as the only solution to human concord. I'm starting today. Yet, it's easy.

Après avoir voyagé à travers toute l'Europe et l'Amérique du Nord et vécu 6 ans à l'étranger, après avoir été confronté à l'ignorance linguistique crasse de la plupart de mes contemporains et réalisé combien de nos problèmes sont en réalité des problèmes linguistiques, j'ai réalisé pleinement le potentiel de l'Esperanto comme la seule solution à l'entente entre les hommes. Je commence aujourd'hui. C'est pourtant facile...

How Long Until We Find a Second Earth ?

At last a comprehensive story describing the international state of the art.
Un hommage mérité à Annie Baglin, la Maman de COROT !

Colonial clue to the rise of HIV : Eating monkeys was doubly wrong !

It now seems confirmed that humans contracted HIV through eating monkeys. A kind of punishment by mother Nature for eating our own cousins ! A well-deserved punishment in my view, in this perspective !
What will be our next punishment for exterminating Tigers, Whales or Pandas, not talking about the thousand of species we are currently exterminating ? I hope it will be excruciating !
