no one else tag me for anything OK?
5 things you may not know about me...hmm...hmm hmmm
hmm hmm
1. I was an Eagle Scout.
2. I once had a job as a deckhand on the CT river. I
had to carry kegs of beer and big bags of trash, throw
the lines on the posts when we docked. I also
sometimes had to steer the boat. They made you buy
their shirt and wear it as a uniform. I was 17 and
was making 5 dollars an hour. The next summer I was a
tour guide at Gillette Castle State Park which is "on"
but not on the CT river.
3. I don't drink coffee or soda.
4. I have a terrible, some might say nonexistent
sense of direction.
5. I am allergic to chicken and turkey. (actually
many of you already know that so I'll do one more)
6. I'm writing a novel. Did I tell you I'm writing a
novel?
I'm writing a novel. slowly.
7. I once had long blue hair. really.
I'm not tagging anyone but feel free to talk about
yourself, everyone.

of motion, and then decision, rather than the other
way around.
In short, the conscious brain was only playing
catch-up to what the unconscious brain was already
doing. The decision to act was an illusion, the monkey
making up a story about what the tiger had already
done."
and
"Dr. Wegner of Harvard said: "We worry that explaining
evil condones it. We have to maintain our outrage at
Hitler. But wouldn't it be nice to have a theory of
evil in advance that could keep him from coming to
power?"
He added, "A system a bit more focused on helping
people change rather than paying them back for what
they've done might be a good thing.""

"The detainee was Donald Vance, a 29-year-old Navy
veteran from Chicago who went to Iraq as a security
contractor. He wound up as a whistle-blower, passing
information to the F.B.I. about suspicious activities
at the Iraqi security firm where he worked, including
what he said was possible illegal weapons trading"
...
"Even Saddam Hussein had more legal counsel than I
ever had," said Mr. Vance, who said he planned to sue
the former defense secretary, Donald H. Rumsfeld, on
grounds that his constitutional rights had been
violated. "While we were detained, we wrote a letter
to the camp commandant stating that the same
democratic ideals we are trying to instill in the
fledgling democratic country of Iraq, from simple due
process to the Magna Carta, we are absolutely,
positively refusing to follow ourselves."
