A reason for the space elevator to be built? Here's one: WISE discovers 95 new near-earth asteroids.

I'm finally giving up on Orkut. I can find no way to collect my scraps as conversations and I can't remember the thread. Join me on Facebook if you like.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution

"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."

If we had a space elevator, that asteroid would not kill EVERYONE.

Do you see sex like this? http://tinyurl.com/n4d4zd

We live in a culture where sex is not so much an act as a thing: a substance that can be given, bought, sold, or stolen, that has a value and a supply-and-demand curve. In this "commodity model," sex is like a ticket; women have it and men try to get it. Women may give it away or may trade it for something valuable, but either way it's a transaction. This puts women in the position of seller, but also guardian or gatekeeper … Women are guardians of the tickets, men apply for access to them. This model pervades casual conversation about sex: Women "give it up." men "get some."

The commodity model is shared by both the libertines and the prudes of our patriarchy. To the libertine, guys want to maximize their take of tickets. The prudes want women to keep the tickets to buy something really "important": the spouse, provider, protector.

By now you've heard me babble on about the Space Elevator and how I think it's the future of the human race. Well... Japan, the country, has dedicated themselves to building the first space elevator. And, here http://ping.fm/3OV78 is something they are using to promote the idea.

Why doesn't ping.fm connect to Buzz?

"If I were a Republican today, I think I would ask my Party to take a clear-cut stand. At present it is not clear-cut. They say, for instance, they are against the Administration’s health bill because it is "Socialized Medicine". But they acknowledge that we need more medical care throughout the country. And so they are vaguely for better medical care without specifying exactly how it is to be accomplished."
--Eleanor Roosevelt, June 1950

I wonder if everyone is moving over to Google Buzz?
