jinianI had a bubble bath yesterday afternoon and my hair still smells of Bathos. Guess that means I might want to wash again before encountering ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snout. We could experiment, though. There's no lavender in this one.
Why had I never heard of the OTA? I guess I was fairly young. Anyway, it looks like the legislature may be realizing that they should know something about science, so that would be very good. I find it pretty disturbing that so many people dislike all science. (Specializing is fine; I've never taken a physics course, and I don't actually think they should have let me out of high school without one, but lots of adults know so little science and think it's not applicable...)
Whoa. Check out Captain Tootsie. I have nothing more to say.
Some really bad stuff going on in our lovely gigantic corporations, according to this article from the Multinational Monitor. My favorite line: "Sara Lee had a big hot dog contract with the Department of Defense."
I actually don't think it's such a bad idea for some restaurants to ban minors in favor of smokers. The problem is to make sure that people know what's up (which is why it sounds like everyone's pissed off) and that it's still possible for kids to get into some places (which doesn't sound like it's really a problem, but the precedent isn't so great). It's an inventive solution, at least, which is probably why I have warmed to it. The government could probably solve the problem by selling smoking licenses like they do liquor licenses; then it'd cost money to run a smoking establishment. Added bonus to me: there'd probably be more smoke-free bars.
It's interesting that the feral children listed were largely indifferent to sex. I remember hearing that sexual response was conditioned very early, so if they didn't have any humans to learn that from, it makes sense to me that they wouldn't be interested. One thing about the case summaries, though, is that I don't really feel they're reliable. I don't buy that Victor was "incapable of distinguishing hot from cold", though it seems likely that he wasn't a wimp about such things. And what does it mean that someone can't distinguish right from wrong? Oh, well, more research, poor me.
I haven't even started exploring Terrorism, Nonlinearity & Complex Adaptive Systems, but I have to share. Wow.

Smoke free bars
Date: 2002-01-07 03:18 pm (UTC)I have pretty much resorted to not going to live shows anymore because of this. It just ruins it for me so I don't bother.
Re: Smoke free bars
Date: 2002-01-08 05:10 pm (UTC)I can go to live shows at the Paradox or other theaters, but it'd be really nice if there were more places where I could get food and drink at the same time. Having never been to SF, I didn't realize it was better there. I'll have to go.
