    Is Man a Threat? (Rant)

    Ridiculous. Any idea can be warped enough to use as justification for some stupid action. Take Japanese nationalism, the concept of Bushido and marry that with Kamikazi pilots.

    Is Man a Threat? (Rant)

    Auto accidents account for the fifth-highest leading cause of death in the U.S.; Heart-disease--influenced in no small way by obesity--is the highest. Maybe cars and cake aren't as safe as you think?
