...want to hear any more about Jesus. OK?"...Had I taken the time to read about the Pirahãs before visitimg them the first time, I would have learned that missionaries had been trying to convert them for over two hundred years. From the first record of contact with the Pirahãs and the Muras, a closely related people, in the eighteenth century, they had developed a reputation for 'recalcitrance' - no Pirahãs are known to have 'converted' at any period in their history...
...that we've brought "change" by giving even more power to the party that forced bad loans and obstructed Fannie Mae reform while driving jobs overseas, it should not take long for Barack Obama to set the record straight on which party is actually pushing the "failed policies of the past." The only question is whether he will be able to continue blaming Republicans for the disastrous policies of Democrats. Robert Moon, CINCINNATI, OHIO...
...many things [Last Stand, Nov. 10], not least of which is the uncontrollable level of crime. If Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens is looking for a home, South Africa is just the place for him.

The most “surprising” result, said Gogan, was that paper, which generates methane, a greenhouse gas that is 75 percent worse for the environment than C02, dropped to record low levels. Gogan touted Harvard’s adoption of single-stream recycling this year, which enables people to indiscriminately recycle paper, plastic, cardboard, and bottles, as responsible for the increased recovery of paper. In addition, the data from monthly waste-audits attests to rising recycling rates on campus?...
...Mitt Romney, Huckabee's principal rival in Iowa, receives the roughest treatment. Huckabee writes that the former Massachusetts governor's record was "anything but conservative until he changed the light bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for president." He notes that Romney declined to make a congratulatory phone call after Huckabee beat the odds to win the Iowa caucuses, "which we took as a sign of total disrespect." He mocks Romney for suggesting, during one debate, more investment in high-yield stocks as a solution to economic woes. "Let them eat stocks!" Huckabee jokes...
