Болен ми лèжи.. :)
Болестите май ще са лайтмотива на деня. :)
Медиците от Пирогов шестват в протест за заплати като недоволно тромбче в и без това нестабилното сърце на София, дали ще има резултат?
Дончо е писал в блога си за последния филм на Майкъл Мур - http://blog.doncho.net/?p=546 [1]
Ходете да го прочетете и сваляйте за гледане - както обикновено с документалистиката - ценността на въпроса, който се поставя е в повода за размисъл, а не налучкал ли е автора собствената ни теза.
Приза за деня обаче, отива при блога на китайската паралелка от 18 СОУ - "Всичко за Китай", за бруталния цитат от древен трактат по медицина.
Абсолютен шах с нефритената пешка! :) Continue Reading » [2]

Agnosticism defined
[1]I found this [2] very interesting text by Bertrand Russell through this post [3] in John Wilkins' "Evolving Thoughts" blog, over at ScienceBlogs.com [4]
here's the link to it again: http://www.solstice.us/russell/agnostic.html [5]

Humanism defined
Humanism is a rational philosophy informed by science, inspired by art, and motivated by compassion.
Affirming the dignity of each human being, it supports liberty and opportunity consonant with social and planetary responsibility.
Free of supernaturalism, humanism thus derives the goals of life from human need and interest rather than from theological or ideological abstractions, and asserts that humanity must take responsibility for its own destiny.
