Sorry. I couldn't stay away. So much for hiatus. I'll make it quick.

First, my report card from last quarter. Phew!



Second, I want to say a quick thing about the US Mad Cow case. The reason this happened is because industrial farms feed cows other cows. It's for this same reason that many bovine illnesses, not just Mad Cow, spread. I'm not an advocate for vegetarianism -- if Mother Nature didn't want us to eat animals, why did she make them so tasty? -- but the practice of feeding cows cow and chickens chicken needs to stop. After all, if you're building a better human, are you going to feed him another human?

Fortunately, our current administration, normally that of No Corporation Left Behind, is waking up. There's still a lot more that needs to be done.

By the way, Soylent Green is made of people.
