Just responding to your question, “Do You Really Want To Live Forever, Forever And Ever?” Perhaps this is the question the CERN scientists have asked themselves before deciding to switch on the Large Hadron Collider today. Next month they plan to start using it despite the possibility of creating a Black Hole that could devour everything into oblivion. So I guess they have collectively decided on behalf of every living thing known in existence that the risk is worth it. Therefore if all known life in the Universe disappears at the flick of a switch it wont have a chance to live much longer at all. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is apparently the hugest, most expensive and technological invention of all mankind ever..... I have invented a much cheaper and less technical machine that will save the world and not destroy it.... it's called the Lunatic Heads Collider (LHC).... you put a bunch of insane scientists in a tube facing North and a bunch of insane scientists in a tube facing South and shoot them at each other as fast as is physically possibly and study the impacts as their heads smash into each other at twice the speed of sound.... you save the world AND 12 billion dollars..... (although I guess that has already been spent, but better than throwing good money after bad into a Black Hole as it were….) The resultant shape produced from this collision could become the new global symbol of sanity conquering insanity.... Whilst the scientists have named their invention The Large Hadron Collider, I would like my new invention to be known simply as Hadron..... because in the future people will say "Had Ron not invented the Hadron we would all now be squashed in a space so dense, dark and overwhelmingly horrific that neither Satan nor God could touch our souls ever again....." Trust all is well in your world !! Very interesting site you have here ;-) Ron Hello Sam…. Just responding to your question, “Do You Really Want To Live Forever, Forever And Ever?”

I think Judge Harvey's concerns were more about ensuring due process and a fair trial with impartial jurors than the effects of acquittals and what would happen if they weren't convicted. I believe everyone deserves a fair trial and I can see how the internet and social media can potentially be a barrier to this. Anyway, I also now agree with you and followed this up with a post with my new thinking on this issue. Thanks again for your comment.

For eg, google shows it. Being that I know said Judge (kinda - I've not talked to him for a number of years), I'd have to say he'd be the MOST internet savvy judge in New Zealand. His call wasn't a free speech issue, or a censorship issue - if it was, it would have a blanket media ban. It was due to the case being, I guess!, less than strong, and if they are NOT convicted, then their names live in google as being accused, incorrectly. And that can't be removed. I think he made the right choice. I think people, outside of NZ, who publish the names out of "free speech" concerns are, well, stupid. but it's out there now. Not exacly hard to find tho.
