I think we need the doc over in Antonio's thread to make sure he gets to his meeting on time. All the cookies will be gone and he won't get a chair.

How can we derail the Republicans, curtail liberty, violate the 2nd Amendment, and control the Internet as we dance on these bloody graves?

Why do we raise our hands to our mouth (or cover our mouth) when we are surprised, shocked or horrified? (http://www.smh.com.au/news/Big-Questions/Why-do-we-raise-our-hands-to-our-mouth-or-cover-our-mouth-when-weare-surprised-shocked-or-horrified/2005/06/03/1117568358970.html)

This is known as the "hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil" response. It happens if we see or hear something terrible, or don't want to say something terrible, and stops us from screaming or making noise and thereby drawing attention to ourselves. This gag response is a remnant from times when danger could have been attracted by noise. For example, imagine the response of an early human to his friend being eaten by a lion ...

Many things that happens in the future will be blamed either on the Muslims or because of what is going on in the country........most of what happens is only part of our everyday life.........in the past week 350 people have been killed in the US but you only hear of the ones that they want you to look at.

Now, how do we take most advantage of this? We must not let a good crisis go to waste.
