I'm facing a bit of a creative
dilemma........whether to use the blog to distribute information/knowledge that
i 'discover' or.............to use the blog as an opportunity to
say MY piece on the 'state of things'
All regular readers of the Unlearn will have
noticed that i havent posted since 'Live8'.......
I'm still here, havent been extradited locked up or forced into hiding by 'our pals' Tony shirtsleeves and Genuine Georgie its more to do with this creative dilemma and i havent yet solved it. Ideally i would have the communicative skills of Dickens combined with the poetic license of say......Wordsworth but i havent yet reached those dizzy heights.
Readers.......let me know your thoughts on this one.......Would you rather
A. The informative posts on
Health/Politricks/Science etc
B. The Chairmans fluid soapbox style commentry
on the 21st Century and beyond.
Not to say that its either or because thats not
my style, im not living a black or white, good or bad, success or failure
existence but communicating ISNT a one man show. I cant (openly) talk to myself
yet .
Im going to finish on this paragraph from Drs
Steve Hickey and Hilary Roberts partly because i
have just finished a monumental book authored by the pair of 'em about 
Ascorbate the
Science of Vitamin C but also because this morning i received some disturbing
news on Codex that has prompted me to review my creative dilemma
Ascorbate the
Science of Vitamin C but also because this morning i received some disturbing
news on Codex that has prompted me to review my creative dilemma "We can find no scientific or even
rational reasons for the current RDA values. The published justifications show
clear and unambiguous bias. This bias could arise from peer pressure, ignorance,
or corruption. We prefer the explanation that the people setting the RDA are
honest and competent professionals, who were acting on a misleading and
incorrect interpretation of the available data. If we are correct about the
origin of the bias, we should expect them to be willing to review their current
proposals. If the RDA recommendations are genuine, they should be defended in
open scientific debate. As far as we can see, the reluctance to engage in
open discussion with independent nutritional scientists suggests that the RDA is
not scientifically viable."...
So all that bollocks about 100% of this
and that being all we need to maintain health....and that misleading propoganda
about 'Five a day' is NOT SCIENTIFIC FACT its BIG BUSINESS
FICTION....
'Shirtsleeves, Genuine & the rest of the New Order'....
Shame on YOU for selling us out.

I was reading a poem by the kid (Wordsworth) and was moved by its quality. As for Dickens i admire his ability to 'Tell It Like It Is'
for me the blog is about social commentary.

On the subject of creative dilemas, I would suggest one should always follow their intuition.
Though I don't know what Dickins and Wordsworth has to do with your blog.
