Maybe that's why what's her name Doris Lessing was so cantankerous about winning it, saying the process of nominating was so 'graceless,' and she couldn't care less about it.

Wow! Nobel Winner Says Blacks Less Intelligent
by Justitia Themis inhttp://www.cnn.com/2007/tech/science/10/18/science.race/index.html.
a british museum has canceled a lecture by dr. james watson, co-discoverer of the dna double helix, after he claimed black people are less intelligent than whites in a recent newspaper interview.. watson, who won the 1962 nobel prize for his part in discovering the structure of dna, provoked a storm of criticism after his comments were published in the sunday times.. the eminent biologist told the british newspaper he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours -- whereas all the testing says not really.".
watson, 79, had been due to give a lecture at london's science museum on friday but the museum canceled his appearance, saying his comments had "gone beyond the point of acceptable debate.".

so I'm starting to get emails from folks asking me if I'm all right. I'm all right - no drink or drugs. Just tired of feeling sad! Entertaining myself with mild madness.
I can relate. I wish I couldn't!

Do you "shun" posters?
by changeling inyou don't need to name names (please don't), but do you delibertely not post on certain people's threads?
is it to make a point?
is it because you don't like what they stand for?

I hope I don't shun anyone.
Ofttimes I feel shunned, but that's okay. Maybe I bring that out in some people.
My mood and interests for the day determine what I read or respond to.

Why not use real demons in movies?
by White Dove inwhy does hollywood use special effects for demonized movies if demons are supposed to be real?
that has bothered me for years.
i did ask this question in a tiny post on another thread but thought this question needed some considering.

Also, demons are much more narcisistic than your average actors. They're so demanding and capricious.

I suppose an underlying theme might be against repression of all sorts, though, no?

I know those demons in Ghostbusters were real. I have it on good authority. They have visited me in my private home on a number of occasions.

They already do use real demons. Didn't you know all the directors have sold their souls to the debbils, and just pretend to use special effects?

Last year I put out a Halloween tree around Halloween. I put away all the other holiday decor, but the Halloween tree is still out, being used as a key-holder. This year, we're celebrating Halloween straight through from now until New Year's Eve - with halloween tree, lights, etc. (mostly indoors last year), but I'm thinking outdoors this year; buying more halloween stuff for outside too, I mean.
