Let the 'enterprise' in space be private
Posted by Philip Howison on 6/17/2004, 12:05pm
"In short, the commission repudiates the policy of leaving space travel firmly in the hands of the state. And about time, too.

Sanction of the GE Victim
Posted by Peter Cresswell on 6/08/2004, 2:50pm
Several years ago I suggested in <A href="The'>http://www.solohq.com/Articles/Cresswell/Genetic_Engineering_-_Why_They_Dont_Get_It.shtml"> The Free Radical </a> that the GE industry would happily shackle itself in an attempt to placate its opponents.

Beyond God and Evil
Posted by Rodney Rawlings on 6/02/2004, 6:25pm
I found this item interesting in its statement that humanists generally are opposed to "right wing" politics; Ayn Rand is mentioned in passing. The author says "I think that the widely shared political values of humanists speak of our ability and desire to behave in ways that, for example, Jesus would approve of."(Read more...)
