Greed versus justice, repression versus freedom, wrong versus right – these are the values that the commentary on the culture war playing out across the Pacific and paralleling the trade war is beginning to be divided along.
The use of performance-enhancing drugs and supplements, or ‘doping’ as it is commonly called, has played a very central role in sports, possibly for as long as sports have been played, but certainly most obviously for the past sixty years of sport.
If you feel hopeless in the face of what seems to be inevitable climate destruction then there is a movement that offers hope for you and all of the world’s citizens. Its tactics follow the tried and tested path of non-violent resistance and civil disobedience, and it is consolidating the energies of the globe’s citizens as you read this.
Sometimes you need to ask, perhaps rhetorically, why is this even news to people? Surely it is common sense by now that if you heat up or cool down many plastics, there is a very high likelihood that the plastics will leach out in to the liquid?

Can you gain super powers by not masturbating? Some people seem to think so, and that does not just include members of obscure qigong cults that lift weights with their testicles.

You can use the first two calculators to measure respectively your income compared with British incomes, and your net worth according to the total value of all your assets as it compares with Americans.
Have you ever thought what you would do if there was a sudden collapse of civilisation that shut society down, or in the event of a nuclear holocaust that wiped out all cities but somehow left you alive?
