Miscellaneous, Fun and Relaxation Links

Life should be Fun ! Far too often authoritarian bullies behave as if hate and not love should drive our behaviour, as if laughter was a dreadful sin, as if cringing obedience to their repressive control was the only way to live... Here we offer some more creative ways, viewing humans and our environment instead as special, and not just as resources to be exploited. These links are often not complexity related, but do show the diversity of our species, the pure pleasure of being different, of being compassionate, being alive, being critical and above all being free. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson:
