The worst misuse of an human brain is excesive specialisation.

The worst doctor in medicine is the one who only knows too much his own job.
Ask your doctor about that, If you find him able to speak about the
Palladium or Durer, Metallica or Mozart, he's probably a good doctor.

Its certainly more difficult to find an architect who can reanimate an
accidented person or give an I.V. shot to a baby. he would certainly become
a dangerous perso...

The sources of information should include foreign ones. In ANY country.
Al Jaseera ( pronouced like the town named Algesiras) is saying another kind
of truth. His truth, eventually biased, but every human makes his own
interpretation of what is his truth. religious,social, political.His vision
of terror. His taste about the quality of the house he lives in or the
building of the United Nations or the German parliament in Berlin.

So just imagine how it's diffciult for a media group like cnn, aol, turner,
or timewarner to speak diferently if they are all owned by the same guy ?

And inside any of those subgroups the balance of ideas about the front
page's content or the news aired first or longer could be considered a dairy
war of good ideas. Of character. eventually of truth.

I'm NOT an architect ... Meaby that's why I write about those opinions.
But many members here will probably think I should have my own list ...
Or meaby this list already has ( not Al-gesiras...) a "new look" ?
