An edifice of knowledge based scientific, societal and environmental biosphere has enabled the world to flourish;…

What I would like to see happen during this century to make the world a better place
INTRODUCTION
Although land is generally treated as if it were capital, it was not created by Man. In particular, our land is a gift of nature (if not of a Higher Authority) and we have it on trust. Before very many people lived on this land it was almost worthless. Its…

A question I've been grappling with lately concerns engagement with foreign governments that systematically violate human rights. When foreign governments are behaving badly, should we engage with them and try to encourage reform, or sanction them and cut off ties? Is engagement the path to reform, or does it merely reward bad behavior? While this dilemma is central to many foreign affairs situations, this post will focus on…

As I write, the town of Ferguson is being immortalised alongside Selma, Montgomery, and Los Angeles. Immortalised, for cementing race intolerance in mass protest, and third-party rioting and looting. Two high-profile Grand Jury cases have returned no indictment on alleged cases of police brutality. Both…
