...TIME: Foreign affairs closer to home must be causing you concern: Your party tore itself apart over the European Union, and now the nightmare is returning, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel trying to revive the EU constitution. David Cameron: It shouldn't be a difficult issue for our party because it's an issue on which the Conservative Party now has a settled view, which is that we want to be in the European Union, but we want a flexible, open, trading union and we are opposed to further integration of the European Union. And it's a position that...
...David Cameron: Yes, that's an important issue. I said the Conservative Party shouldn't sit with the European People's Party in the European Parliament after 2009, after the next elections, because at the end of the day, although there are many things we agree with the EEP about in terms of economy and immigration, we don't agree about the fundamental issue about the future direction of Europe, and I think we'd be better, as I've always said, as friendly neighbors rather than reluctant tenants.

How can our leaders sit by knowing all along that the donations given to African and other countries are very often not reaching the targeted people? I am amazed that...
...shouldn't be surprising that research on consciousness is alternately exhilarating and disturbing. No other topic is like it. As René Descartes noted, our own consciousness is the most indubitable thing there is. The major religions locate it in a soul that survives the body's death to receive its just deserts or to meld into a global mind. For each of us, consciousness is life itself, the reason Woody Allen said, "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it by not dying." And the conviction that other people can suffer and flourish...
