Wants to legalize online gambling and marijuana
I didnt say "I believed" I said there is convincing scientific evidence. Facts +
belief systems do not "meet somewhere in the middle". They dont mix at all. There is convincing scientific evidence that 80% or more of personality is inborn, hardwired, not just genetically but developmentally wired, like our fingerprints develop in utero... which is why monozygotic, AKA identical twins have different fingerprints. There was genetic evidence for alcoholism a long time ago. And why, in a caring family with multiple caring loving children there appears a sociopath that doesnt give a damn about anybody but themselves? Rather than cling to the "belief" that alcoholics and sociopaths and narcissists "decide" to be the way they are we can fund and encourage scientists to find the genetic basis of mental illness, the kind of illness that either prevents the person from having loving relationships with others, the kind of mental illness that drives people to suicide.. or homicide. The kind that drives them deep into a bottle of alcohol or meth or cocaine to burn themselves out. I am not talking about funding research to find out why some people prefer pink. It may be that you believe what you do because of what you saw first hand and the choices you made. My mother was not addicted to anything except her belief that it was perfectly normal to be a mean, nasty depressive with a vicious streak if crossed. She was the giant black hole of negativity that sucked all the joy and life out of those closest to her all the while presenting this caring loving mask to her "friends". There was only one person she really loved and that was herself, her house, her gardens. Did she "choose" to be a mean self centered depressive? No. And her mother, my grandmother was the sweetest most genuinely kind and accepting person I have ever met and thankfully the person who mostly raised me. I dont blame my mother for who she was or how miserable she made me. It must have been hell to have been my mother. I tried and others tried to convince her to use anti-depressants (which everyone else in the family uses) and she would sneer and say "so I can go around being a happy idiot"? And my mother was a social worker for crissake. Despite the negativity I grew up into a reasonably positive person who finds a little bliss every day, like those red tulips I planted last year are just kick ass in the morning sun.

And I find it crushing that black people (as a group) are extremely homophobic and
are believed to have been the voting block that got thru the California anti-gay marriage referendum. But then again, they perversely dislike Jewish people who have more than any other group supported their civil rights. I remember as a grad student (1970's) I had gone to the another lab in a different department to do an experiment and found a big poster of a large breasted woman in a wet T shirt plastered to the front of the refrigerator. When I got back to my office I complained to my fellow grad students about how sexist that was and all 3 said I was being silly and were completely unsympathetic. I was totally shocked and told them so, pointing to one at a time and saying "you are Jewish and should know better, just wait until I tell your wife", you are gay and how can you ignore any kind of discrimination against others" and "you are so short people are always making jokes and you know you will be discriminated against", "so how can any of you NOT be sensitive to discrimination against women?" sheesh Ingrid On Mon, 11 May 2009 11:17:12 -0700, Billy wrote: "Milk" is a civil rights movie about a group of people who resented their lack of "civil rights": fired from jobs, denial of housing, beatings at the hands of the police, and murdered for who they were.

I think we missed that boat when we let Monsanto screw with our milk supply and
allowed GMO foods into market in 1992. Get that genie back in the bottle............ Ingrid There is another civil rights battle taking place in America as well. The right to healthy food.

There is this misconception that agony or mental illness is the mother of invention
or creativity or "drive". Would Van Gogh ever been a painter if he hadnt suffered mental illness? Van Gogh did not paint during his spells of mental or physical illness. Well my FIL and MIL are both fabulous artists and he was happy and mentally balanced and PRODUCTIVE for his entire life. She was depressed and unproductive until treatment which unleashed her productivity and she is still going strong at 80+. There is nothing 'romantic' about suffering with mental or physical illness. The point is to fix the genetic problem, not simply flush the egg. I am sure a well and healthy Steven Hawkins would be much productive over a much longer life span. Not that they know what causes LG yet much less fix it.

Actually it is more like medicine, treatment to prevent suffering. Fix the genes
that cause the suffering, treat those that cant be fixed. There is more eugenics in the male obsession with "male children" in some cultures. Now that ultrasounds and amnio can determine sex female children are being "flushed". Fix that first.
