But when it takes a whistleblower to sound the alarm, it is cause for even greater concern. It signals that democracy’s checks and balances have all failed, that the breakdown is systemic, and that severe instability could be just around the corner.
Really? So…a whistleblower is necessary to sound the alarm? Hum… This may come as a surprise to you, but the OECD has been…

ONE BIG IDEA - CONT'D
To start, the term “legal ethics,” upon which codes of conduct and licensure are nominally based, has become an oxymoron.
As opposed to you, who is a plain moron. OK, OK, we apologize to all the morons in the world who, through no fault of their own, are mentally challenged. It must be a blow to them to have their physical issues associated with such…

ONE BIG IDEA - CONT'D
In the face of political cowardice, it's tempting to yield to defeatism, to argue that the status quo remains fundamentally unchanged, while the Panama Papers are, if nothing else, a glaring symptom of our society’s progressively diseased and decaying moral fabric.
Whoa buddy… that's a mouthful! What are you talking about? Political cowardice? Regarding what? The USA has pushed down the throat of all countries…

In the meantime, I call on the European Commission, the British Parliament, the United States Congress, and all nations to take swift action not only to protect whistleblowers, but to put an end to the global abuse of corporate registers.
Yes. And in addition to that we call all government officials to wear polka-dot underwear on every second Tuesday unless it is a full moon.…

In the meantime, a new global debate has started, which is encouraging. Unlike the polite rhetoric of yesteryear that carefully omitted any suggestion of wrongdoing by the elite, this debate focuses directly on what matters.
Really??? We see no debate; all we see is governments encroaching (i.e. stealing) more and more of our money and our standards of living going downhill. As to the "elite",…

A MONKEY WITH A SHOTGUN (more dangerous than)
Today we begin a tortuous journey and for that we apologize in advance. More than a year ago the Suddeutsche Zeitung was contacted by a person calling him/herself "John Doe", offering a truckload of internal documents belonging to the firm Mossack Fonseca (MF). This is how the whole "Panama Papers" affair started. After a long time and not satisfied with breaking several…

On Jan 3rd of this year the article "Overfat and Underfat: New Terms and Definitions Long Overdue" (doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2016.00279) was published. As usual, the Mainstream Media ignored it (with a few minor exceptions). Yet, this is an article that is worth exploring not because of the new hypothesis and theory it presents, but because of the puzzling question whether or not Libertarianism and Austrian Economics versus Government Action would be different…

THE SOLUTION
OK, OK. We get it. But if you people are so smart, what's your solution?
Fair enough. Here it goes. But you won't like it, this much we can guarantee.
Let's begin by stating and for the record that we unquestionably, absolutely, positively, definitively and without a shadow of a doubt support global warming scientific research. The more the merrier. However, please note, we said scientific, not pseudo-scientific…

As you can surmise from the previous section about science, it would seem that there is a lot that we don't know. And this is true. However, this should not deviate us from the main point which is as follows.
Science is the best process we have which allows us to create models of reality. No model will ever be perfect and in that respect, there will always…
