Quite so. Though evolutionary psychologists would love somehow to visit the ancestral environment, few would buy a one-way ticket. Still, to say we wouldn't want to live in our primitive past isn't to say we can't learn from it. It is, after all, the world in which our currently malfunctioning minds were designed to work like a Swiss watch. And to say we'll decline the Unabomber's invitation somehow to turn the tide of technological history isn't to say technology doesn't have its dark side. We don't have to slavishly emulate...

Killing one another is not the answer. If these right-wing militia types want to live in a country in which their style is completely acceptable, they should purchas a one-way ticket to Iran...
...HARVARD NAME does not exactly connotate images of burly men with purple helmets on motorcycles weaving in and out of traffic on one-way Cambridge streets. But don't tell that to a particular group of juniors who share more than just a suite in Winthrop house. Of the five residents of this suite, two (Jamie McPartland and Ethan Maniatis) currently keep and use motorcycles at Harvard, encouraged by the original leader of the pack, Gaston de los Reyes, and a third (Eric, "Dwayne" Plaks) has big plans to do so in the near future...
