Reminding us what we should really be thinking about
"Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a
short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine
purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one
thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the
countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of
sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life
is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how
earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I
have received."
~ Albert Einstein

Einstein to the rescue of the banksters
Albert Einstein: “No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it.”
Ok. Fire the lot of them!

Even Einstein would be impressed
A pair of German physicists claim to have broken the speed of light - an achievement that would undermine our entire understanding of space and time.
According to Einstein's special theory of relativity, it would require an infinite amount of energy to propel an object at more than 186,000 miles per second.
However, Dr Gunter Nimtz and Dr Alfons Stahlhofen, of the University of Koblenz, say they may have breached a key tenet of that theory.
The pair say they have conducted an experiment in which microwave photons - energetic packets of light - travelled "instantaneously" between a pair of prisms that had been moved up to 3ft apart.
Being able to travel faster than the speed of light would lead to a wide variety of bizarre consequences.
For instance, an astronaut moving faster than it would theoretically arrive at a destination before leaving.
The scientists were investigating a phenomenon called quantum tunnelling, which allows sub-atomic particles to break apparently unbreakable laws.
Dr Nimtz told New Scientist magazine: "For the time being, this is the only violation of special relativity that I know of."
Maybe we could turn back time to the election 2000?
