Newmark's Door

Yowza. That's a lot of storage.

(But it's not coming any time soon.)

Dad's not helping:

Central Kitsap High School's dress code does allow strapless dresses, but only if the cleavage is covered.

Brittany's dad, however, says it is near impossible for his daughter to fully cover any decolletage.

"A girl like Brittany should not have to go to a dance in a burlap sack because she's large busted," he said.

"We'll be uploading our entire MINDS to computers by 2045 and our bodies will be replaced by machines within 90 years . . ."

"If you want to introduce someone to libertarian thinking . . ."

"Much of the resistance to public choice is a function of the fact that it strips away the romantic notions about the political process that makes it so appealing to many. . . ."

Funny or sad, you decide.

I never heard from Davis again. But I have continued to get a steady stream of emails from other students. Some are a pleasure to read. They are the products of young minds opening up to the rich rewards of science. These young correspondents are starting to understand something important about the natural world, and that understanding triggers a flood of questions that will take them even deeper.

But a lot of the emails follow in the tradition of Davis. Essentially: I have homework. I need information from you.

In the past couple years, I’ve noticed a shift in the tone of these requests. They’re not furtive acts of desperation. They seem to bear the seal of approval from adults–either from teachers or parents.

Interesting and we can only hope that he's right.

But as with other very good things we are on the "brink" of, we need to worry about a huge, intrusive government slowing or thwarting them altogether.
