Research is to see what everybody else has seen and to think what nobody else has thought

Visionary...

I think the true test of a genius is the ability to see the follies of one's own times.
The ability to change one's own times is the true test of a leader.
And the ability to do both is the true test of a visionary who will never be elected.

the good and bad, in everything...

The discovery of nuclear chain reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind any more than did the discovery of matches. We only must do everything in our power to safeguard against its abuse.
~ Albert Einstein

On August 2, 1939, Albert Einstein wrote a letter to the American President, Franklin D. Roosevelt. "In the course of the last four months, it has been made probable - through the work of Joliot in France as well as Fermi and Szilard in America - that it may become possible to set up nuclear chain reactions in a large mass of uranium... And this new phenomenon would also lead to the construction of bombs... A single bomb of this type, carried by boat or exploded in a port, might very well destroy the whole port together with some of the surrounding territory." He urged Roosevelt to begin a nuclear program without delay.
In later years Einstein deplored the role he had played in the development of such a destructive weapon: "I made one great mistake in my life," he told Linus Pauling, another prominent scientist, "when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atoms bombs be made."

everything is possible (in our thoughts, of course!)

Can the weather be controlled? Tesla built machines that made rain and machines that dispersed clouds. Could there be machines that cause earthquakes and tsunamis? We always assume these disasters are accidental and have no plan. The Conspiracy Theorist would say your Secret World Government DOES control the weather. THEY are the cause of the Florida hurricanes, the vast flooding in 2005, the Indian Ocean Tsunami, tornadoes, volcanoes blowing and many earthquakes. Those with the technology can artificially disturb nature and all of us would assume these were natural events. Could a sunny day be purposefully planned for some reason unknown to us?

the Question:

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
~ Epicurus 340 - 270 BCE

look who's talking...what a sidesplitting world it is!

"For example, the Swedish Press Council is over 85 years old. It is true that these are developed countries with mature democracies. But are we, too, not an almost developed country with an increasingly mature democracy?"

Everyday we attach a new different personality to our face. A day will come in everyone's life when the original one surfaces, till then let us all read the most important book we must read at least once in our lifetime, ourselves....
