Not the other one.
My far-too-articulate cousin has been on fire since booting up his blog only a matter of weeks ago. His most recent missive points to a Truthdig debate between Sam Harris and Chris Hedges on (such frivolous topics as) religion, politics, and the end of the world. Well worth a watch, particularly Sam’s closing statement where he invokes the good witch/bad witch defense.
The University of Sydney, maker of fine computer scientists, has (sadly) entered into a deal with one of the residential colleges in which the college will renounce rights for some of its land and allow the university to build a new medical research centre with the proviso that it is never used to carry out foetal stem cell research. The agreement doesn’t stop the university from conducting stem cell research elsewhere, which I’m sure it will, but it’s a shitty precedent to set.
