Need one emphasize that yer AS identifies, personally & absolutely, with the reportage & opinions in that above-linked article?

I don't know. I would say Gates, Jobs, Bezos, Buffett did do/are doing that too. Not also one's own post just above... http://www.amerisurv.com/PDF/TheAmericanSurveyor_Jenkins-DARPAChallenge_Feb2008.pdf

...meaning? We have pretty universal enfranchisement here today, to my understanding. What am I missing? There are to be sure big problems with racially biased districting, but even that the courts are -- slowly -- starting to sort out.

The millennials and post-millennials are about to become the electoral power, and will not stand for the current stupidity to happen ever again.

Dismayed is more accurate. Alas, alas.

P.S. 'Tail service masts!'

Why do they commit such violence to the original story premises? SyFy's "adaptation," which is to say mangling and dismemberment, of Childhood's End did the same thing. What were they thinking, to presume they could "improve" on Clarke's story line?

Hyperactive!

But still, human activity has destroyed 40% of all earth's animal biomass over the past half-century. We are, as Gov. Jerry Brown remarked some 25 years ago, far down the road to a Blade Runner future. Sooner than later, as it is turning out.

One does what little one can still do.

This is news to me!

'Everything must be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler. If we knew what we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?' Einstein

Actually not. He has enough of them to lose any number and still remain afloat. As you yourself point out here. As noted above, he is anything but stupid. And one might add he possesses a great joie de vivre that one sadly has never, for even one brief moment, observed you to exhibit.

I am entirely vers (more a bottom, surprise surprise ), and both ways it feels infinitely closer and more intimate bare. (That is not, to forestall pseudopsychological counter-arguments, any kind of pathological, self-loathing, etc etc etc thinking dating from the AIDS era, but a purely emotional and physiological observation of fact in the act.)

One more time...

Then my question is: Do you have the right to question anyone else's choices about intimacy? If a practice is, by all current medical accounts, safe now?
