  1. It seems that Kurosawa Mice are not mice but some kind of technical term for a type of scientific volunteer. "We began our HIV journey with three very brave Kurosawa Mice, or human volunteers who put their lives on the line and lived to tell about it." http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:xT_90Ar27okJ:grouppekurosawa.com/blog/2004_12_23_+Kurosawa+Mice&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us
  2. Why is president Bush disregarding the will of the american public and continuing to escalate the war in Iraq? Well, the answer is simple. President Bush is insecure about his sexuality. Years ago, when Bush was a little kid, running around his huge ass estate, his father came to take him to see something secret. It was area 51. Now, all the "old money" people of America and some from other countries know the truth about area 51 and have taken a vacation to it at sometime in their childhoods. Around their 10th b-day they are taken to see area 51 and the treasure it beholds. Inside area 51 is a spaceship, or rather a timeship. Its hard to explain, nobody to this day can explain the science behind it. Once inside the spaceship, one of the parents pushes a few buttons and instantaneously the spaceship appears on a different planet, maybe at a different time too. Well, on this planet live a species of sand squirrels, these sand squirrels are an intelligent species and their society is very similar to the american society. One day little president bush was raped by a sand squirrel (the squirrel was executed shortly after by his own kind for such disrespect). To this day President Bush carries around the baggage with him of secretly enjoying being a homosexual child rape victim. To compensate and make up for his sexual insecurities he continues to attack the land which reminds him most of the sand squirrels. This just so happens to be the middle east and Iraq.
  3. okay, the main problem with technocracy is that it is a scientific idea. You cannot control a nation of people through technocracy. Techocracy relies on ideal communisitic principles. (everyone is equal in power) Technocracy will not work because people hunger for power. Those who have the connections in a technocratic country will slowly gain more power, find ways to acquire a surplus of goods for themselves, and it will decay into an oppressive gonverment. There are many other reasons it won't work that have been previousely mentioned , but you have to remember humans each have their own will and you can't control them with technology and also have freedom. (especially when they are not being worn out by work everday.)
  4. Ya Ecoli I love Emerson Lake & Palmer, amazing stuff The Karn Evil 9 songs would have to be my personal favorite by them. BRAIN SALAD SURGERY!
  5. http://www.myspace.com/anemnesis here is a link to my band the music is still in intrumental form until we get vocals down. Some of my favorite bands would be Pink Floyd Rush Dredg Muse Tool APC RHCP The Mars Volta The Clash Spock's Beard Nirvana Porcupine Tree King Crimson Styx Postman's Syndrome Fake Gimms (Just some of the bands on the top of my mind)
  6. I feel the same way. Most of my classes seem to teach little-more than productivity and work ethics. The classes are run out of the textbook, learning useless information rather than concepts and ideas. The teachers assign worksheets that teach absolutely nothing. Every day my english teacher just hands out grammar packets for us to do while she works on her computer. She has only "taught" our class one day this entire marking period. In a few of my classes the teachers do a good job. We will have class discussions and debates on the topics at hand. But for the majority of the school day I feel as if I'm doing work for the simple point of "doing work". If you want to learn you have to teach yourself. " I never let my schooling interfere with my education" -Mark Twain
  7. I am in no way an expert in this subject and am only repeating what I remember hearing on the subject. This is to be trusted about as much as Dr. Phil. Dreams occur in REM sleep which is the most restful mode of sleep. I heard somewhere that the only dreams that you remember are the ones which you wake up during. Since you said you have been remmbering more dreams lately you are probably not getting enough REM sleep. Something is preventing you from expierencing REM sleep for a healthy amount of time. I know this doesnt solve your problem but it might help point out where the problem is.
  8. It's an interesting idea but I would think the students would not be able to be exposed to many different perspectives. My opinion is: by only having one teacher for 8 years,the variety of influences on the children become very limited.

  10. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6595798/site/newsweek/ A new pill able to increase our memory is in experimental stages. A memory destroying pill is also being worked on. What do you guys think of this?
  11. So are you saying that the orbits of the planets are slightly elliptical because the radius of the sun is not the same throughout? Also since the earth is not a perfect sphere it casues the moon to orbit slightly elliptical.
  12. There has to be some sort of mass at the second foci in order to cause the planets to orbit in ellipses. I must be missing something, can someone please explain how there can be elliptical orbits without a second mass? Also, does the moon or in an elliptical or circular motion?
  13. Kepler's 1st law of planetary motion states: Planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus. This question had been bugging me. There are two foci in an ellipse. If this theory is true, what would be at the other focus point? Kepler's Laws
  14. Some of favorite scifi books Player of Games-Iain M. Banks Dune-Frank Herbert Earth -David Brin The Gods themselves-Isaac Asimov Riverworld series(To your scattered bodies go-1st book)-Phillip Jose Farmer Ender's Game was awesome, I just started Speaker of the Dead!
