"They are too fearful to speak out even over the most routine disagreement. How can ideas flow? How can you have a great country?" - Dr Toh Chin Chye (quote from Governing in new era a different cup of tea)

Random Playlist Song: Bob Rivers - Santa Claus Is Foolin' Around

Well you better watch out for that holiday guy
You shouldn't go out I'm tellling you why

Santa Claus is foolin' around
Santa's out North Polin' around
Santa Claus is foolin' around

He's checking his list, he's grabbing his fly
He's leavingn his gift and hittin' the sky

Santa Claus is foolin' around
Santa's clothes are hittin' the ground

Santa's with your woman right now

He creeps in when they're sleeping
He charms them with a wink
He's doin' stuff no Santa should
You better get home for Christmas' sake

You better get home and don't be late

Oh you'd better watch out for that man in the sky

You'd better not trust that jolly old guy

Santa Claus is foolin' around
Santa Claus is runnin' around

Mrs. Claus is hunting him down

Santa Claus is foolin' around
Settin' em up in every town
Santa Claus is screwin' around
Santa's clothes are hittin' the ground
Santa's at your chimney right now

Slidin' in and beddin' em down

Santa Claus is foolin' around

Are colleges failing? - "A remarkable feature of American colleges is the lack of attention that most faculties pay to the growing body of research about how much students are learning and how they could be taught to learn more. Hundreds of studies have accumulated on how undergraduates develop during college and what effects different methods of teaching have on improving critical thinking, moral reasoning, quantitative literacy, and other skills vital to undergraduate education. One would think faculties would receive these findings eagerly. Yet one investigator has found that fewer than 10 percent of college professors pay any attention to such work when they prepare for their classes. Most faculties seem equally uninterested in research when they review the curriculum."

Barbarism begins with Barbie, the doll children love to hate - "Barbie, that plastic icon of girlhood fantasy play, is routinely tortured by children, research has found. The methods of mutilation are varied and creative, ranging from scalping to decapitation, burning, breaking and even microwaving, according to academics from the University of Bath."

Lover gives stranger $15,000 ring - "A disappointed lover in the US has left a $15,000 (£8,500) diamond engagement ring in a stranger's unlocked car, accompanied by a heartfelt message."

Contours Of Evil - "Within the pattern of bright blue and yellow blotches on the brain scans he has taken, Kiehl believes he has found the dark contours of the psychopathic mind. When psychopaths see or hear emotional words or pictures of misery, areas of their brains that should light up like a Christmas tree are dark and devoid of activity. Instead, their brains process information such as a picture of a bereaved mother holding her dead child in the same way they would react to a picture of a chair or shovel... The general lack of social causes for the disorder is one reason why most experts no longer use the term "sociopath" to describe a psychopath."
Psychopaths are not "evil" but just sick? More blows against the concept of free will.
