FLIES
by Dansk inwhat is it about flies?
i built a wildlife garden that is now thriving and you'd think the flies would be grateful - but what do they do, they keep biting my bald head that's what!

following on from danny's excellent post here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/16/128626/1.ashx i have just sent an e-mail to the charities commission.

LETTER TO A CHRISTIAN NATION - Sam Harris
by Dansk ini've just finished reading letter to a christian nation - a challenge to faith by sam harris.
i really learned a lot from this gem, particularly regarding the power the christian right has over science in the usa and how it has stopped the most vital research to alleviate human suffering - stem cell research!
i am here talking about embryonic stem cells, which entails their destruction after three days, and not stem cells taken from a donor's blood or bone, which is the treatment i am to undergo.. on pages 28-32 harris gives sound arguments why such research should go ahead - and i agree with him.
