My new LD Blog. Wednesday, February 24, 2010. The ethics of prescribing placebos. Homeopathic medicine is no more effective than a placebo. But does it follow that it is unethical. For a doctor to prescribe it? Personally, I think homeopathy is ridiculous and I'd never use it, but I ask the question because homeopathic medicines are not the only drugs which doctors prescribe which only have a placebo effect. Links to this post. Thursday, February 18, 2010. The release of the UK UFO files. I was travellin...

My new LD Blog: June 2010
http://mynewldblog.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
My new LD Blog. Tuesday, June 22, 2010. No, not a comment on the budget. Links to this post. Sunday, June 6, 2010. Nick Clegg and Canadian Cuts. Nick Clegg contrasts the savagery of Thatcher's cuts with those carried out in the nineties in Sweden, by Clinton in the USA, and in Canada by the Liberal government under Jean Chrétien. He believes that those governments did better than Thatcher. In 1998, the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights maintained that Canada’s failure to implemen...

If I had been an MP in the last Parliament (stop thanking deities I wasn't back there! I'd have had many second thoughts about voting for the same-sex marriage bill. I went over my reasons for that repeatedly during the debates but they are summed up here. Farron voted for the same-sex marriage bill in its early...

A Liberal In Deepest, Darkest Kent : Why I Hate Princess Diana
http://jaekaygoesforth.blogspot.com/2007/08/why-i-hate-princess-diana.html
A Liberal In Deepest, Darkest Kent. A man is either free or he is not. There cannot be any apprenticeship for freedom. - Imamu Amiri Baraka. Monday, 27 August 2007. Why I Hate Princess Diana. I don't actually hate Diana herself. I'm kind of neutral on her, not having met her before. And also speeking ill of the dead is not exactly a decent thing to do. What I hate is the cult of Princess Diana. At the time it almost felt as if everyone was trying to outdo each other on who could cry the most crocodile te...

Mackay's Musings: September 2012
http://benrossmackay.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Ben Mackay's essays, articles and thoughts on politics, philosophy, religion. Saturday, 22 September 2012. The future of the special relationship? Whoever wins in November and whoever wins the General Election in 2015 will have to contend with a staggeringly powerful country that has a habit of making hugely difficult demands of British Prime Ministers. Some commentators have argued that it is unlikely Romney would support a war with Iran. All the same, considering the power of the neo conservative ideol...

I suppose I had hoped that there was an occasional area in which this law allowed a little leeway. If I gain more love in my life, do I have to lose something to make way for that love?
