Good Point:

"Blanket bans on technology are almost always a mistake," argues Tim Caulfield, research director of the Health Law Institute at the University of Alberta. "You don't ban fertilizer because you can use it to make bombs. Don't ban cloning because it may be abused."

Think you aren't racist? Try some of these unconscious racial bias tests. (Especially the Black/White Adults test) Very interesting... (from a social and psychological perspective)

Listening to... 2000 Miles by the Pretenders

Ugh, the first day of spring semester. My last spring semester as an undergrad... This is going to be interesting and a lot of work. Blah...

Listening to... the silence of a half-occupied dorm building

Following yesterday's trend of Lists, here's a somewhat cheesey one that makes a few good points.

Ten Suggestions For Getting Along Better With People
1. Guard your tongue. Say less than you think.
2. Make promises sparingly. Keep them faithfully.
3. Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind word.
4. Be interested in others, their pursuits, work, families.
5. Be cheerful. Don't dwell on minor aches and small disappointments (my addendum: don't keep track of or list the bad things that have happened, but do count the good things.)
6. Keep an open mind. Discuss but don't argue. Disagree without being disagreeable.
7. Discourage gossip. It's destructive.
8. Be careful of other's feelings.
9. Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks about you. Live so that nobody will believe them.
10. Don't be anxious about getting credit. Just do your best and be patient.
