Great piece about resistance to new ideas. We all benefit from the bravery of people in the past who have told unpopular truths, often at their own expense or peril. Maybe one day human culture will be in line with the factual truth, and not directly at odds with it.

This is a fundamental problem of our culture, one that says everything about who we really are, not just of prisons or law.

I'm sure *after* the Repubs deal with abortion and collective bargaining they'll get around to creating all those new jobs they promised.

Funny how mechanized and unnatural this "local, organic" farm looks in just one picture.

Interesting to see mainstream celebs praise the @SeaShepherd on Twitter. Would they praise such direct action against, say, US farms?
I'd like to say I'm sad that Borders is closing, but I'm a disgruntled ex-employee - I can't be gruntled.
I understand from Twitter that a young pop star has some views on abortion. I can't wait to hear his take on Egypt and the economy.

The Old Testament, in addition to being bad moral instruction, is also pretty bad literature.

Was able to find the germ of a really good story in nonsense my brain whipped up last night. I've always said that sleep is productive.
U.S. Late To The Party On School Lunch Makeovers : Shots - Health News Blog : NPR - http://www.npr.org/blogs...
I'd rather eat a school lunch in South Korea or the Czech Republic than the USA, England or Japan.

I didn't mind school lunches at the time, but it would have been a totally different story if I'd been vegetarian or vegan back then.

Love this movie - one of the only popular films to come out of the 1980s able to transcend its era.
