Philosophy Wire: Secret recipe of Coca-Cola revealed? Secrets now, secrets then...

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-02-16]: The producers of a radio program say they have found the secret recipe for Coca-Cola in an aged manuscript note found in a photo published in an old newspaper. The recipe was published on the website of the show, but it is no longer accessible. However the recipe is reproduced by the Time Magazine. Those who tasted the drink produced with this recipe, said it tastes a lot like today's Coca Cola. [Source: web news] Ancient heroes and philosophers hunted secrets related with concepts as high as "immortality", "truth" or "knowledge." Today's "secrets" that we all frantically looking for related to a drink that does harm to our bodies, but makes us feel good. O tempora o mores!

Philosophy Wire: WikiLeaks and Democracy leaks...

Philosophy Wire of Spiros Kakos: 2010-12-04 WikiLeaks page is struggling to stay online. After being kicked out of USA Amazon host (for reasons Amazon claims to have nothing to do with the revelations of the last days) and another US host, it finally found a (temporary?) safe place in Switzerland. [Source: http://news.in.gr/world/article/?aid=1231069814] But the hosting company had servers both in France and in
Switzerland. France protested so now WikiLeaks is based on Switzerland servers only.

Coutries which claim to be "democratic" do their best to crash the web-portal of WikiLeaks and ban its existence in the Internet. Where is the deomocratic control people must have on their elected governments? What does someone really understand from the efforts of governments not to discolure what they do? Can you vote and elect your representatived if your do not know what they do?
