Wandering Consciousness: How to Support WikiLeaks and Julian Assange
http://wanderingconsciousness.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-to-support-wikileaks-and-julian.html
Wednesday, December 08, 2010. How to Support WikiLeaks and Julian Assange. Today I typed http:/ www.wikileaks.com into my browser's URL. I didn't get there. Instead I ended up with a message saying," Sorry! This site is not currently available." That's an incredible shame, since I see WikiLeaks as a type of Robin Hood in our Information Society. How can a country (say, like the U.S.A.) declare itself democratic if information is kept from the people? There are four ways to donate:. To donate please do an...

Wandering Consciousness: Micronutrient Malnutrition
http://wanderingconsciousness.blogspot.com/2011/10/micronutrient-malnutrition.html
Saturday, October 08, 2011. Say "malnutrition" and thoughts go straight to starving children in Africa; drought victims relying on bags of UNICEF rice. Children and adults with seriously caloric-deficient diets will eventually die. This is starvation. Say "micronutrient malnutrition" and thoughts go straight to. what? Vitamins are organic compounds that are essential for life. They include at least 13 different substances including retinol, thiamine, ascorbic acid, calciferol, riboflavin, tocopherol,...

Wandering Consciousness: Beyond Capitalism
http://wanderingconsciousness.blogspot.com/2011/10/beyond-capitalism.html
Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Few people (in my personal discussions) argue these points. Education, representation, access to safe food and water; these are things in the western world we take for granted. But should we? There are some things we may want done without a profit motive. Sometimes we easily agree that the right choice will simply cost more. As individuals we can make the choice to invest that little extra. But what about, as a society? This needs to change. We need to be able to use word...

Wandering Consciousness: Advice for those already at the gym:
http://wanderingconsciousness.blogspot.com/2010/02/advice-for-those-already-at-gym.html
Thursday, February 25, 2010. Advice for those already at the gym:. Look around your local gym. Those are the people in the middle. They've made the move from time on the couch to time exercising. They've made improvements to how they look and feel, and understand the benefits of exercise. But chances are they've also hit a plateau, using the same exercises they were taught when they joined. What does a no-longer-a-beginner do before they're an athlete? Squats can be done with the bar on your back, or hel...

Wandering Consciousness: I Can Choose
http://wanderingconsciousness.blogspot.com/2010/05/i-can-choose.html
Tuesday, May 25, 2010. In my opinion, carbon sequestering is a problematic idea. Ideally we would use non-fossil fuels for our energy needs. However, given that the continued burning of fossil fuels is a certainty, trapping carbon is required. And then Tony said," You will never get people to stop driving their cars. You will never get consumers to stop consuming." At this, my heart sank. And I'm not the only one. Here, most of my expat friends walk or tram or ride, but don't drive. Is Canada lacking in ...

Wandering Consciousness: Merry Christmas
http://wanderingconsciousness.blogspot.com/2009/12/merry-christmas.html
Thursday, December 24, 2009. Merry Christmas, Season's Greetings, Prettige Kerstdagen, Feliz Natal! It's been a bitter-sweet year. At times I feel I'm exactly where I was last year. So much hasn't changed; yet nearly everything feels. Different. For example, a year ago I was feeling old. Very old. I had just quit smoking and started karate and while I didn't have a lot of breath in my lungs my muscles and bones ached and screamed. Posted by I Dive At Night. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wandering Consciousness: Food, Inc.
http://wanderingconsciousness.blogspot.com/2009/11/food-inc.html
Saturday, November 07, 2009. I almost posted yesterday about an interesting show on TV, which discussed how early humans evolved based on our food. That agriculture and hunting changed "society" is clear, but changes in diet also changed people physically and genetically. We aren't physically the same animal that first threw a rock at a beast. The show ended with a warning to "think" about what we eat, and what consequences it may have. Posted by I Dive At Night. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
