“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil.

The missiles and bombs flying around various hot zones in the world tend to drown out some of the consequential things happening around us. We had one rather important example of such a thing emerge recently – originating from within Israel, right before the country’s...
Supposedly, it was Vladimir Ilyich Lenin who once said words to the effect that, “there are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen”. Quite apart from my revulsion for Communists in general – and Lenin in particular – this most likely...

Take a look at the picture above. Where do you think it was taken? Calcutta? Manila? Addis Ababa? Cairo? Nope. All wrong. That picture is from Great Britain’s second largest city (by population) – Birmingham. And that picture is a summation of everything that is wrong...
