This time there are fewer Paris Hilton links - hunt for the one there is, if you must - but more on the Space Shuttle.
I was lucky, I saw one launched at Cape Canaveral from the area reserved for the Press. Later, I even got to climb into a mock up. Felt different from riding on a buffalo's back, something I actually have done.

Some links got to be put in two places because they belong in both.
This time I had the mind to put the listen links first, but played safe and they are nearer the end - which is a shame. Of these, if I ran an upstart that'd take on the might of the likes of Google and Intel, I'd click on that M I L T O N link.
Too bad if you don't know Hindi. You'd have then clicked on the link in which Baba Raamdev speaks about himself.
But there's so much good stuff in the CogniMaps this time, telling you will fill up this blog.
All you need is time. I put who+makes+Time on Google search and got 517,000,000 links to rummage through; but I don't think I'll find the one I am looking for.
Come to think of it, its a shame, too. Here's humankind reaching for the stars, and yet it can't make time. Yes, there are those that share time together and then we have time-servers.
How about having a veterans group that calls itself Servants of Time. You know like those that bill themselves up as Servants of God. You probably need to search for dignity outside somewhere when you can't find it inside you.
Until the word got dignity by the use of the phrase 'service industry', the English word 'servant' had a pejorative sense to it here in India.
The British had no problem using the word for, effectively they were 'imperial masters' over here. So, those they hired were inducted into the Indian Civil Service, which, after India's political independence in 1947, is called the Indian Administrative Service. You are the cat's whiskers if you are an IAS officer. The general and valid criticism for these guys - and now gals, too - is that they do not serve but rule. I'd say they've, for India, been a big pain in the ass.
The big problem they had was that here they were, brown sahibs badly wanting to be like the British masters, but they couldn't call themselves 'Masters'. The government servants of communist West Bengal state said, enough is enough; they officially banned the word 'servant'; now they call themselves 'employees' but it is rare if you find any one on the taxpayer's payroll, at least here in India, really 'employed' in any worthwhile activity, unless, of course, taking bribes is not categorized as 'unworthwhile.
There is, in fact a link below, that reveals last year's 'take' of the Indian judiciary. The general perception is that we have these social parasites we don't know what to do about, because we allowed ourselves to create them.
Earlier in the day, this unusual thought, logged at 5:10 PM 6/17/2007, fried itself out of my Wok:
The ignorant don't have a lock on stupidity. Even when they are not challenged, the informed are able go not one but several better. The stupidity of the informed is dangerous. It causes heartburn, suffering and tragedy.
After the mess the informed have made, its time they, for a change, let the ignorant run the world.
Here's what the otherwise healthy ignoramuses of the world have going for them:
They are less damaged by the burden of the kind of 'knowledge' the informed have sucked in. Their instincts are, therefore, on high alert. It'd be harder to survive if they weren't because of the ignoance.
Furthermore, and for the same reason, their intuitions perhaps are fresher; more relevant, than of those fatigued and stressed by the avalance of what in the early days of manned moon missions used to be called GIGO - informational data that bombards a system and has to be purged - Garbage In, Garbage Out.
Finally, and for the same reason again, they have to be more patient and co-operative.
Alert, Intuitive, Patient, Co-operative - now which leader's CV has these on it?
After a hundred-year glut of suave wheelers & dealers as our leaders, I think it's time we should agree the world has had enough of this variety and - it ain't workin'!
All the 'progress and development' that we think we have had was despite of them.
But coming back to "Servants of Time" I think it's time some crook claim he can make and sell Time. He'll be richer than Bill Gates on the day he gets out his/her IPO.. Fune! (Enuf backwards)
