"If Jesus Christ was alive today he would defend investigation with maternal [stem] cells"
:- James Watson one of the discoverers of the double helix DNA molecule in a print interview published by the La Vanguardia in Spain yesterday.

Makes me laugh. When exactly did Jesus die?
Or rather didn't he die and go through the Resurrection? Isn't that why he's famous?
Isn't he alive, still? out there somewhere, waiting to return and tell us all about stem cells, life support machines, exactly what sexual acts between consenting adults are ok? at what price a house may be sold? whether it was the right thing to invade iraq?

& Today it is reported that the US congress have been debating changes to US law to allow stem cell research. Mr Bush believes Jesus lives, and he's not a scientist, he's a pharisee or saducee.

& he's just lost his vote. read full story / add a comment

On night of May 5th, alone, axtivist Mary Kelly insinuated herself into Shannon Warport and, praise the lord, for the past two weeks, mysteriously unhindered, she has been chopping 'n dicing a U.S.A.F. Globemaster into 100,000 pieces - her "cead mile failte" to the war criminals pissing on our neutrality. Tonight, job well done, she is in deep hiding, safe from the hue and cry and sipping a bottle or two of Bucky in modest celebration at the completion of her herculean and saintly task. Tomorrow, in Eyre Sq and Abbeygate St, Galway, she will be selling R.C. plenary indulgences, little plastic axes and figurines of her good self. read full story / add a comment

Mass-produced computers can KILL Microsoft and free the world's computer users. They'll be too cheap to accommodate MS Windows -- MS's bread and butter. Computers will go the way of TVs and VCRs -- cheap offshore (non-USA) production. They'll be cheap, simple, general-purpose (FREE SOFTWARE), all-electronic (no disk drive) -- in other words, real electronic computers, finally.

Don't rely on second hand reports of the situation in Colombia.

Ask your student union or political party to participate in the youth delegation trip to Colombia. Trip organised by Justice for Colombia Campaign, which sent a trade union delegation to Colombia last November, involving Irish and British trade unionists. The Colombian authorities tried vainly to exclude some delegation members. They failed, after street protests and confrontation with Colombian authorities forced them to back down. read full story / add a comment

the BBC are on strike from midnight 22/5/05 to midnight 23/5/05.
Help them out.
Don't watch BBC TV. (it may surprise you, but two of the BBC terestial channels are broadcast by powerful antennae into the Irish homeland). If you were sold a telly set with these stations on the preset selection, it is your duty as a socialist to ignore them today. read full story / add a comment

It has long been observed that the mediocre praise the dead and refract the vision of living folly with a mythic myopia.

This weekend saw the philosopher Paul Ricoeur die peacefully in his sleep, and the Irish State really kick into its Hamilton year. Whom they term "Ireland's greatest scientist" = utter crap.

In honour of Paul Ricoeur, this week's sunday papers is an attack on false memory, the Selective and Collective memory : Memory as fetishised community : Communality as fetishised memorial & I hope readers will bear with the different style as I recover from watching Star Wars episode 2 & I Robot, on DVD, and writing encylcopedia pages and blogs wonder, what has Ricoeur to offer the XXI century???

The Dangerous Place for consideration this Trinity Sunday is the future of Biotech and Human Cloning. read full story / add a comment

greenway cycle to make an official greenway for Dublin, leave 6.30, cycle should take about 2 hours

international velo-city conference and european greenway conference happening in town. May 31st- June 3rd 2005.

Opportune time to start the wheels turning in development of the botanic spine, an 18km greenway and ecological corridor for dublin city.

The first Dublin City Greenway Cycle will pedal off from Mayor Square in the IFSC at 6.30.
We are planning a discssion forum beforehand in the community centre or the park in sheriff street (to be confirmed).
We will travel clockwise, heading from the square to the east link bridge as the green foot bridge is not yet built.

the aim of the cycle is to highlight the fact that we nearly have this greenway in its entirity, all is needed is a little commitment and spending from the government to make it a reality read full story / add a comment
