As for the article itself, I think one of the last lines are very telling. Even if you are anti-abortion (and goodness knows even pro choicers are. We just believe in a woman's right to choose) this kind of censorship would block one from researching one's own position. Knee jerk reaction to a complex issue.

If you want to say that free will is never completely free of influence I will go along with that. If you want to say that you want to buy me a Lexus hybrid at your earliest convenience I will go along with that too.

I tend to see things in pictures. Weaselly scientists make me laugh. O.K. boychik (channeling my inner Yiddish rabbi) I see your point and agree with it at the cellular level.

Two great fears when talking to I.T. customer service. That our convo is cannon fodder for their break room giggle, and that they are secretly putting a time bomb on my hard drive.

That's why I hesitate to even blog. Truth told, if I made the things that I write pass the "Will anyone really care?" test, more often than not I wouldn't write anything.

The 15 minutes of fame that we were told we could count on is now self published.

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive.

Repeat chorus with mean faced glare up in here.

You have to go so deep into the subconcious to rule out free will that there is plenty of room for personal responsibility. Without personal responsibility there is social chaos. I read part of the Wired article about free will (I was genetically prevented from finishing it) and it made the point that the part of the brain that was in play was not the SUB but rather the UN conscious.

Take your "No free will" belief into a courtroom and you won't get too far. By the same token that doesn't make you wrong.

B.F Skinner meets Jill from the Buick commercials. Positive reinforcement drives the machine called man. They do some cool research projects at Stanford, though. I liked the part where they adjusted the scoring procedure for people who found office supplies more repellent than spiders and snakes.

This is a good ruling for society as a whole. I hope I don't sound cowardly, though, when I cringe a little at the timing. The troglodytes in the G.O.P. will use this as a rallying cry to turn California, usually a reliable blue state with all of it's beautiful electoral votes, into a red state this November.

Having John McCain serve out the third term of G.W.'s term would be far worse for the country than waiting a year for gay marriage in California.

I hope I'm being needlesly worried up in here.

Grant part of your point about McCain/Bush. That was an overstatement on my part brought about by the time running out on my computer time and my wanting to get that in. However, the two major issues to this campaign, IMO, are the economy and the war. About the economy JM wants to make the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy permanent.

About the war (which has crossed the HALF TRILLION dollar mark in cost already, not to mention the death toll for all involved) JM's 100 year statement speaks for itself. The United States has never been held in such low esteem internationally and it's easy to see why. WMD's, prisoner treatment at Guantanamo Bay, waterboarding, Abu Grahib, our inability to find Osama Bin Laden even though he broadcasts publicly. Mission accomplished, NOT.

As far as the environment is concerned, I just hope it isn't all too late. Acid rain was a proven fact during the Reagan presidency and his response was "Study, study, study." The G.O.P. is having trouble swallowing the fact that the Hip-Pye radicals that they laughed at for so long just may have been right.

California is a little more problematical than that. They are in their second term with a Republican Governator and before that they had Pete Wilson, another Republican. Orange County is a very red area with millions of votes. The Central and San Joaquin valleys skew red also. My home territory, California's north Coast is very red, albeit staistically inconsequential with fewer than 100,000 total population. The saving grace for California Democrats is San Francisco (America's bluest city) and the Greater Los Angeles basin which is more blue than red. Make no mistake, neigboring state Senator John McCain very much feels like the Golden State is in play this November.

God Bless the University of Oregon. It's probably the bluest community in the bluest city in one of the bluest states in America. Mark my words, though, this ruling energized the Republican National Committee and their message that Armageddon has reached our shores will be on an airwave near you soon. The No Spin Zone will call California "Pinheads" and "Hollywood Crazies" from now until the election. Sean Hannity hasn't wiped the smile off his face in days.
