Catchup

Yesterday, I turned 16,366 days old. I ought to know - it was this time last year, around April 20, that I discovbered the little factoid about myself that I'd turned the 16k corner - about the time I posted my Architect Dream (link here).

Today's been one of those "can't-do-anything-till-the-money-comes-in" Mondays. I got up late (been doing that a lot lately, shame on me) and just came straight to the flat.

They still didn't have my 2000AD, from last week. The distributors are playing that game again. Stupid, stupid people. Treating the customers with contempt, and the idiots in the store little better.

Anyway, I'm here in the flat, wondering what to wear for tomorrow and chatting with Nai. Oh, and I need something to eat pretty badly. I can feel my stomach growling.

Since nobody has reported it - not even in the Pagan communities ...

Psychics see big trouble over new laws

Reported by Yahoo )

There may be trouble ahead

Reported by BBC News )

And what about the scientific evidence of churches? Will these new EU laws force priests to shut down their parishes if they cannot, on demand, create verifiable miracles to order?

Will these new EU laws help stamp out scientific fraud as well, particularly the frauds perpetrated by the big pharmaceutical companies?

I smell minority repression here. What psychics sell is no less valid for its purpose than what psychiatrists and priests offer. And perhaps as effective as pills, but with fewer side effects.
