I like the science, hate the writing. Saying we're natural mind readers is a horrible way to present the data. Sure, it gets people's attention, but how many people will misunderstand it because of that?

Anyhow, on the prison time link... I find it amusing in a horrible way because when W was running for president back in 2000, my mother said one of the reasons she would not vote for him was because it was shown that there are many innocent people in jail and while New York was testing everyone to try to release any innocents, Bush's response was to not even test those on death row, saying "Texans don't make mistakes". I don't know her source, but that stuck with me.

As to censorship... yeah, we don't like to think of it as censorship... censorship is such a bad word. In fact, next we'll remove all of the books that discuss censorship so our children earen't exposed to the concept.

Indeed, it does sound very... "hot." Impulsive, perhaps.

I am also very, very glad not to be of your country.
