My Trip to the Creation Museum - (USA)
I finally made it to the Creation Museum. No, I didn’t make the trip with PZ Myers, and the other 300 or so day-tripping atheists, along with the Secular Student Alliance . Parental responsibilities got in the way. However, a few days ago, after a trip to the dentist with my daughter, we found time to stop by. Oh, don’t worry though. She’s 8 years old and has a finely tuned skeptical filter that nothing gets by without question. So, I posted a few of the photos I took, and soon after, I w

Whither Europe? - (USA)
It’s been a long time since I walked the streets of Europe. Being here again both raises memories and creates contrasts. In one sense things don’t change. Its cities, many over a thousand years old, seem to withstand the tests of time. They seem ageless. Yet even in the 25 years since I last lived here, real differences are plainly noticeable. The biggest shift seems to be demographic in nature. So much so that a valid question being raised is what is the future of Europe? What will it look li

THE COVE - eco film meets action-adventure - (USA)
We just caught a Saturday matinee screening (along with 10 other intrepid souls) of THE COVE, the compelling documentary and eco-action film produced by the Ocean Preservation Society. The doc follows the filmmakers’ journey to reveal the horror, carnage and death that takes place beginning each fall in a little cove in Japan. The project’s spiritual catalyst is former “Flipper” trainer turned dolphin activist, Ric O’Barry. The film found its creative spark in O’Barry’s quest to halt the expl

Paul Raushenbush: Terri Schaivo, End of Life, and Health Care Reform - (USA)
The last and only public policy debate we had about health care and end of life issues was the Terri Schiavo case. No wonder the conversation has turned hysterical. End of life medical ethics are not abstract. All of us will have to answer the question of how far we will go to keep ourselves and those we love alive during the last stages of life. The Terri Schiavo case reminds us the perils of leaving these questions to the guesses of others. Terri Schiavo's husband maintained that she did

Yale University Press, New Haven, NJ. 2009 This is a rather oily work to deal with, operating under the pretence of academic objectivity that “does not flatter anyone’s prejudices.” And while Benny Morris obviously knows his historical facts, “One State, Two States” reveals more of a prejudice than the original reviewers seemed capable of understanding. The main theme – resolving the Israeli/Palesti
