Radio 4 Programmes

One of the radio programmes on BBC Radio 4 i tune into occasionally is the Moral Maze. This evening it was a discussion on the pursuit of happiness and  whether happiness should be the ultimate goal or is something that leads to narcissistic egotism. Is the pursuit of happiness just an illusion, or a philosophical quest that more of us should engage in? Fascinating stuff, which i recommend listening to -

Also on Radio 4 is a fascinating science series called "The Seven Ages of Science" and another i recommend.

Fracking

I have been following the news about fracking with considerable interest as i feel that it is something that should not be allowed in our beautiful country and especially in our beautiful countryside. It will cause more pollutants without adding much to the overall energy need. A good resume of it is available at my brother's blog site here -
