Depleted Uranium in Iraq

Maurice Béjart, January 1, 1927 - November 22, 2007

Maurice Béjart était un grand ami de mon oncle et ma tante. Je l'ai rencontré chez mon oncle en 1974, à l'époque où il était fraichement converti au Soufisme. Je fus fortement impressionnée par sa personnalité, bien qu'elle irritait beaucoup ma tante.

Repose en paix, Maurice.



Maurice Béjart was a close friend of my uncle and aunt. I met him at my uncle's home in 1974, at the time he had newly converted to Sufism. His personality impressed me enormously, even though it annoyed my aunt to a great degree.

Rest in peace, Maurice.




































Bob Thurman and Deepak Chopra - Buddhism and Vedanta

Received from a dear MySpace friend:

"In contrasting Buddhism and Vedanta (Hindu philosophy), Bob Thurman, a former Buddhist monk and Deepak Chopra find there are more comparisons than differences, and both agree that, more and more, scientists are showing that quantum physics and spirituality (awareness, consciousness, the soul) are the nature of true reality. A must-see."

"The award-winning environmentalist and broadcaster speaks of climate change as a slow motion catastrophe.

"He states that the media has to take responsibility for the fact that there is a notion that the issue of climate change is still controversial, even though the vast majority of climatologists in the world say something must be done."

The Stern Report said "we face a crisis on a scale of the great wars." Does Monbiot agree?

And... "How does politics compromise science?"



















Monbiot on the media and global warming

We ask "Does the media perpetuate a lack of urgency on global warming?"

And... "Does corporate ownership of the media affect how journalists report the issue?"
