ScienceShot: Climate Change Gives the Albatross a Lift – ScienceNOW – StumbleUpon. Nothing is so bad that it doesn’t help someone. It really does look like the albatross bomber doesn’t it?
Let me give you two examples.
Why are people paranoid? Things are going to happen like this when you are around someone enough. I never ask anyone who happens to find me in the bathroom, “How did you know I was here?” I don’t think anyone is following me. Maybe someone is and just good at hiding it, but I doubt it. My life would bore them to death, although its great for me.

This is an article by ITworld. I have met a few hackers in my life and I am always surprised that they boast of their exploits. Why not just keep the information to yourself? If you do something harmful and don’t get caught, isn’t it enough that you got away with it? I am not saying this is right, but isn’t staying out of jail reward enough for these people?
This was my response below.
I disagree. Certain things we are all entitled to, and it is the lack of entitlement that is the foundation of problems.
There are certain things in life that being human means we are entitled. Being human means that we respect ourselves and others, and have the opportunity to live in ways to express that. Would you argue that a baby has no right to live, or to be free to die if that is its purpose? We should not seek to put rules on the universe.
This idea of entitlement is more due to the idea of duality. You spoke about the idea of things you want and things you work toward having. If we believe that we need more than what we have, we suffer from duality. What we have is far more than what most of the world has. Nothing wrong with having goals and a purpose in life, but we should not confuse piling up material goods, or social accomplishments as proof of our worthiness.
It is sometimes hard for people to see that we have ultimately everything that we need. The greatest happiness in my life has been to realize that I am not separate from the universe but part of it, and already have access to everything I could possibly use. Happiness is inside, not outside of us.

Strange Friendships | MakeMyMood.com. It is touching to see how much animals trust us. Frankly if I was an animal and saw what happened to the other animals I would wonder about humans. Dolphins and dogs seem to cross species boundaries easier for friendship than other animals I have seen. I wonder why?
Will Cool Cars of the Future be Made of Buckypaper? It’s Five Hundred Times Stronger than Steel (and Ten Times Lighter) – Gas 2.0. So what is keeping this material from being commercially produced? It seems like a great way to save energy and resources?
