Investology
It is not rocket science, only a balance between fear and greed but ultimate success goes to those who can afford to wait

"It is certainly a young investor’s game. One has to have the unbridled optimism of the young, and the absolute conviction that although the possibility of losing is always there, it is not likely to happen to you. It would always be the other guy."

I am an unashamed fan of progress. I think innovation and technology have prevented more premature deaths and alleviated more environmental disasters than they have caused. I detest the hypocrisy of those who protest against free trade while using mobile telephones and of those who would deny genetically modified crops to poor countries from the comfort of organic luxury.
Vaccination is probably the simplest and best example of how science has made the present a better place than the past, not least in all but eradicating polio. Its benefit-cost ratio is enormous. So it is all the more uncomfortable for me to admit that, in the case of this controversy, the evidence for an abuse of science -- mostly unwitting -- is strong enough to shift the burden of proof on to those who would deny it.

"We believe that if we continue to try to distinguish Canada from the United States through more expensive social programs and more authoritarian government, the gap between the standard and quality of life in the two countries will continue to grow to Canada's disfavour, as it so clearly has over the last 30 years. We want Canada to do better than the United States, not to be subsumed into it, which we believe to be the almost certain consequence of persisting with present policies. In a more mature political and media society than Canada now is, this debate could be conducted more civilly than it has been".
