PANAMA TODAY, TOMORROW AND ALWAYS

Here’s an excellent article on Panama then and now.
PANAMA TODAY, TOMORROW AND ALWAYS

Palmex Panama

My friend Michel has done good progress on setting up Palmex Panama and he is now up and running. The warehouse is packed with product, and the installation team is ready to go.

He put a little demo roof in front of the warehouse which is right along the Interamericana highway in Gorgona. It apparently [...]

Harper continues his Mini-Bush impression

Our little bully of a Prime Minister is continuing to do his best to imitate the big bully to the south of the border. This time he has, just like Bush did before him, decided to kill the National Science Advisory office.
Harper, just like Bush, has obviously no need for a reality-based Science Advisor who [...]

“Biblical Science” vs Real Science

There is no bounds to the level of dishonesty that religious leaders will use to pull the wool over their follower’s eyes. Recently, there’s been a renewed push for “Biblical Science” (yes, that is an oxymoron), where religionists advance the argument that the Bible is the most advanced science book around.

If the US [...]

Scientists discovered several new species of lizards in Panama

Amazing: scientists have just discovered four new species of anole lizards in less than 24 hours.
They were found in the Serrania de Tabasara, Panamanian highlands that top at 6000 feet above sea level, making the new anoles residents of the cloud forest.
They also discovered a new specie of salamander and two more species of anoles [...]

Ron Paul is a Wacko

I have a few friends in the US and in Canada who support Ron Paul’s bid for the Presidency. They apparently support him because they agree with his libertarian ideology. But I don’t think they know who he really is.
First of all, Ron Paul is another religious nutcase who rejects evolution.  The last thing we [...]
