Actually, I find it amazing how the next generation will post more and more private information about themselves without caring. In a way, an abundance of public information allows you to blend into the herd. - Howard Abrams from Bookmarklet

"“The freedom to disagree. That's what I think pretty much being an American represents.”" - http://www.arktimes.com/Article...
America the first nation to be founded on "ideas", and the freedom to disagree is certainly one of those. The article also demonstrates the prejudice against intelligence. - Howard Abrams from Bookmarklet

Carbon-based, as opposed to silicon base. But some DNA/RNA-like replicating machinery kicks in, anything is possible. And intelligence? Completely superfluous and un-necessary, and so I think it is rare. - Howard Abrams from Bookmarklet

has often wondered the language-culture-emotional-makeup connection along with Olivia Judson: - http://judson.blogs.nytimes.com/2009...

Catch the theory that mass extinctions may be caused by algae? - http://www.sciencedaily.com/release...
The idea is that 65 mya, active volcanoes may have heated the planet a little bit, which helped create algae blooms, and the toxic algae may have played havoc with the food chain. This sick planet was then hit by a big rock... - Howard Abrams from Bookmarklet
