Rand Paul Falsely Says He Never Opposed The Civil Rights Act

His untrammeled belief in personal liberty will lead to total anarchy. Any law that restrains individual action is bad, he seems to think. Wild West, here we come.

Just Flowers on Yelp

Beware of this place. They are not florists. They are a call center who take a 20% cut and relay the order (incorrectly) to a real florist who fill the order. They take a 20% cut for relaying the order. If you believe that that is worth 20%, go ahead and use them. Otherwise, call your local florist.

The You in Me

Yikes. There is still a lot we (human beings, that is) don't know about DNA - but at least we are making progress. This raises a fascination question - can any entity "understand" itself? In mathematical logic the construct of any class where the class includes itself leads to contradictions (e.g. "This statement is false"). This is a proven theorem. I have a wonderful proof that can that we can never understand ourselves, but this box is too small to contain it.

The Good, Racist People

Unfortunately (at least I think it is unfortunate) this form of group discrimination (not always hatred) happens wherever groups of people find some way to decide on in- vs out-group. It is not a USA specific phenomenon. Every group of which I have been a member seems to think this way. "All men are created equal" is a wonderful thought - but it excludes women, and is rarely believed.

Law Schools Look to Medical Education Model

What a wonderful idea. Colleges could start corporations in all disciplines and hire their best graduates.

However, DELL, Microsoft, Apple, etc were started by college dropouts, so maybe it is not such a great idea.
