Although much attention has been mis-focused on Greece, LaRouche has emphasized that the epicenter of the European crisis is not Greece but Spain, and its Banco Santander. For example, of total German bank exposure in the eurozone of some 540 billion euros, Greek debt accounts for only 43 billion, or 8% of the total. Spain, by contrast, amounts to 240 billion euros, or 44% of the total. http://larouchepub.com/pr_lar/2010/lar_pac/100210lar_no_banco_bailout.html thus: yeah, massless rocks o'light, built a hugely impenetrable bosonic wall around EinsteinoNewtonianism! thus: the photographic record that I saw, in some rather eclectic compendium of Einsteinmania, seemed to show quite an effect, I must say; not that the usual interpretation is correct, though.

If science had been doing its job none of this climate nonsense would have happened in the first place. Advocacy, like marketing any product, is the search for a predetermined endpoint. Science is the rigorous search for the truth with the endpoint determined strictly by the data. Scientist who are advocates first are no longer scientist. --Mike Jr.

I read a story once where a man was on a burning oil platform in the North Atlantic during a winter storm. A rescue boat was bobbing below on huge swells. The man was 100 feet ( about 30.5 meters) up. He jumped and somehow was rescued. When asked why he jumped he said that the pain from the heat of the fire was too much to take. It is only when thresholds of pain are exceeded that people, organizations, and societies change. So if you are an advocate and you want change than you have to paint the dire consequences of not changing. Otherwise, forget it. Note that highly successful individuals and organizations tend to have a low threshold of pain. If a stock isn't performing they dump it for one that is. The corollary is also true. People and organizations with a high threshold of pain tend to be very unsuccessful. People need to become much more aware of the con artists. Be skeptical, apply the scientific method, independently verify claims. --Mike Jr.

Scientist who are advocates first are no longer scientist. Science has been trying to do its job, the trouble is that science got shut out by politics. The fact that someone claims to be a "scientist" doesn't make him one. This is something that politicians need to understand. It would help if they didn't call what they do "political science" because doing so gives them a warped perspective on the nature of science.
