Indian discovery!
Indian Discovery
After digging to a depth of 100 meters last year, Russian scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand years ago.
So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists dug 200 meters and the headlines in the US papers read:
'US scientists have found traces of 2000 year old optical fibers, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians.'
One week later, Indian daily newspapers reported the following:
'After digging as deep as 500 meters, Indian scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using Bluetooth and Wireless technology.
Jai Ho!

Transcendent Man - internet religion?
Like it or not, we are being molded by our experience here on the internet. Ray Kurzweil's film trailer seems to be one summation of that molding as an ideology, dare I say "religion"?

1 of 31 folks in US are in prison, on probation or on parole. Cost $47B in 2008!

The headline here says it all. This is totally nuts. It would be much cheaper for everyone to buy a baseball bat and a dog and then let about half the people of out prison. I figure a huge number of people are in prison for either low grade drug offenses—or for just not being white middle class.

Japan’s Crisis of the Mind
An stunningly honest article, straight from the heart of a concerned countryman.
RECENT events mark Japan’s return to the world’s stage, or at least so it seems. Tokyo was Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s inaugural overseas destination. Last week, Prime Minister Taro Aso was the first foreign leader to visit the Obama White House. All this suggests that Washington sees Japan, the world’s second-largest economy, as a powerful nation. If only we saw ourselves the same way.
