Sunshine on a photosynthesising leaf. The Sun as direct life-giver. Causing matter to become more complex: simple atoms transformed to more complex molecules. On purpose, to sustain life. Ground zero, a soup-of-life mixture zapped with energy: Scientists have absolutely no problem creating amino acids - the building blocks of all life - from constituent chemicals. It takes a Darwinian amount of time to get higher-evolved life forms, but it eventually happens. This property of matter to spontaneously become more complex is called negentropy (negative entropy), and it means 'matter formatted by information'. * "Platform for Change", by Stafford Beer, 1978, ISBN 0 471 06189 1 * * We human beings mean more than the few-pence-worth of our chemical * constituents, because information *informs* those component chemicals * by means of a genetic bluepr

Because of the Catch-22 situation, the NSA gave up trying to censor many books, since it can be used to confirm questions they would otherwise have refused to answer.

This message is about ECHELON, which is an unbelievably huge world-wide spying apparatus, including the domestic phone calls of many countries. United States citizens' phone calls are being monitored in a dragnet fashion not even George Orwell could have imagined. This was all paid for by U.S. taxpayers. Built in secret. Not debated. The CALEA legislation is a shameful takes-us-into-the-abyss domestic spy bill. It is for the FBI to simultaneously monitor HUGE amounts of our phone calls. And when the judiciary found out about NSA monitoring U.S. citizens' overseas telephone calls without a warrant: they approved the loss of our Fourth Amendment rights.
