Some of you will know (others will not) that last night I was privy to a workshop on GMOs. You did a great job Jess and should be commend for it – it certainly wasn’t easy.
The debate was framed in terms of the ‘Science of GMOs’ – not the social/political etc side of things which [...]

Hello Goonanism enthusiasts world wide. I’d like to make a special shout out to all those in Mozambique who are regularly tuning in to find the next instalment of the worlds most revolutionary Blog Spot.
My plan has worked and I have managed to find an issue that has intersected many people’s areas of interest [...]

“The Internet has contributed somewhat to breaking down this dichotomy between “broadcaster” and “audience,” but we think it is possible to take this further. Within the PR and journalism professions, you hear quite a bit of concern about the Internet on grounds that it eliminates the “filter”of professionalism and thereby enables garbage to circulate [...]

Hello world.
Jeremy – thank you for your comments. The world loves a person who contributes to the Goonanism blog.
Incidentally your chances of winning the $10,000 is drastically increased by encouraging people to contribute (providing of course they do). I also think that the prize will be awarded using a sort of means testing [...]

Hello world once again.

Roland, I do love that brain sitting in that bald little head of yours. You keep me on my toes and provide me with critique – this is the point of my blog and I say with the complete absence of sarcasm that I am really enjoying (remember though, it’s my blog, so I’m [...]

My first politically based memory is being taken to a rally by my parents and having a big sign taped to my back. I don’t know what the sign said and I don’t know what the protest was about but it was something to do with either health professionals or teachers and I’m certain [...]

World (or perhaps Diane – think Twin Peaks!).
Yes, I am emphatic and confident in my arguments. However, my blogging is still in its developmental stages and minor hic-ups will happen where you managing to post the same thing twice and only a minute apart, thank you Roland.

Thank you all for your words on encouragement and pointing out my bad spelling. No, I can’t spell but that’s what you have editors for. It’s the ideas that matter.
There have also been accusations of loose definitions – I’m afraid this is a very fair criticism and one I will be careful to [...]
