a Lap and Half

Time to explore new 'modes of delivery'. Note to George
Hear the buzz on the street? Ringin' in the new ear.
Gut Check. White noise.
Got a creeping feeling on the back of your neck? Bummer, dude.
No news is good news. Tell me something I dunno-
News has a shiny veneer of thin ice Stopheywhatsthatsound
Shift = SUV's
Coming soon to body near yours:Diabetes in NYC.

Got Ideas ?

LASTLY:
DANIEL GILBERT
Psychologist, Harvard University
The idea that ideas can be dangerous
Dangerous does not mean exciting or bold. It means likely to cause great harm. The most dangerous idea is the only dangerous idea: The idea that ideas can be dangerous.
We live in a world in which people are beheaded, imprisoned, demoted, and censured simply because they have opened their mouths, flapped their lips, and vibrated some air. Yes, those vibrations can make us feel sad or stupid or alienated. Tough shit. That's the price of admission to the marketplace of ideas. Hateful, blasphemous, prejudiced, vulgar, rude, or ignorant remarks are the music of a free society, and the relentless patter of idiots is how we know we're in one. When all the words in our public conversation are fair, good, and true, it's time to make a run for the fence.

thANKS tOM!
