Skyscrapers and building are killing many birds each year.
This is just sad. I hope this news gets around and someone comes up with a way to reduce the number of avian deaths. This has to stop. Birds are hugely important. They keep ecosystems in balance.

A world governed by reason and emotion
From an interview between Om Malik and self-made billionaire Brunello Cucinello (http://pi.co/brunello-cucinelli-2/): "This century is where enlightenment and romanticism must blend. A great idea that is born out of the mind and then goes through the soul — there is no doubt that the outcome is marvelous. If this idea is…

Europe Requires Speed Limiters For New Cars By 2022

Are we losing the ability to get the job done right?
The FEMA fiasco prompted me to start this thread. Add your own clusterfuck example. Maybe at least we'll get a cynical chuckle or two out of this! I'm seeing more and more evidence that we are losing our ability to get things done right. Just a few examples going from the most broad in terms of who is most affected to the…
