Les Rapports de l’étude d’impact du livre éléctronique sur les librairies et bibliothèques de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles ont été publiés par la Fédération  ce 28 Juin 2013:

Voyager 1 poised to break through to interstellar space... any moment now...Remember the "Pale Blue Dot" picture taken by Voyager?In his book Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space, astronomer Carl Sagan related his thoughts on a deeper meaning of the photograph:[13]From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishableinhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity – in all this vastness – there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.The Earth is the only world known, so far, to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

Méfiance ? Quelqu’un vient de m’appeller pour me vendre des bics et carnets “Child Focus”. Je lui dit que je vais vérifier sur le site Internet alors elle dit au revoir et raccroche…

Problèmes de surpopulation dans les prisons. On râle mais qui se demande _pourquoi_ les prisons sont saturées ?

Merci à Tom et Klara pour le drink !

Trois pensées me traversent:
1. Prenons un moment pour un souvenir heureux d’une personne qu’on aimait et qui a disparu.

2. Disons à ceux que nous aimons que nous les aimons. Disons leur aussi pourquoi.

3. Vivons notre vie aujourd’hui. Ne perdez pas de temps: il est compté. “Tout homme est mortel, hors Socrate est un homme, donc Socrate est mortel” (Syllogisme de circonstance).

All great truth goes through three stages: first it is ridiculed, then violently attacked, and finally accepted as self-evident – Schopenhauer
