I do not comprehend application of the law as legal system to your 'neuro-economics' but...

It is easy to begin to see how intrusive 'advertising' technology - specifically targeted - might be used.

Has to do with ALL of the wonderful imaging

(not just fMRI, but voxel-imaging, transcranial magnetic wiping, PET scan etc.)

going on, what neuro-science is really doing and the getting-awfully-obsolete lie detector.

You may NEVER 'successfully' lie again. Dear- me-!

How you will Want or Decide may well be, probably will be knowable, manipulable.

At the end of EVERY technical release on this stuff is blurb on how knowing all these terrific things will benefit z condition and y malaise... all kind of suspiciously disclaimer`ish.

And those benefits may well accrue - but I bet the investigators are far more interested in how or what we think and learn and then...decide....or not.

I know I am.

But our current inquisitory...

-and I really love knowing that the orbito-frontal cortex is involved as kind of red, yellow and green traffic robot in making 'marginal' decisions;

-and I love knowing that the amygdala is involved both in certain kinds of fear AND cerebral 'examination' for recognition/understanding of faces.

...leaves scary dystopian visions stealin' floater-like just out the corner o' me eye.

So where one goes with all this can get very Science-Fiction`y.

I don't know any better clarion than

Gibson's 'Neuromancer'.

I've read that she has been quoted as saying she quit while she could still be assured NOT to be replaced in a Dem admin...

Now that's all pretty soft....as information goes.

She has all the money in the world...easy full time nannies for husb....So circumstances don't fly.

That's a bit firmer for ...actual fact.

I'd love to get all THAT sorted out.

In the meantime, I don't trust this story from a source I usually do trust.

Kos, NYT...apparently progressive but...

Here they go again....concerted

The 'paper-of-record' is even on record as

terrified of John's 'hard swerve to the left'

Edwards must just scare the pants off them.

The neuro-sci gals and guys got that one pegged.

But I do love your 'voice' here....

"I am heartlessly in favor of abortions..." "....cute attributes of their soon-to-be-terminated spawn.".

Lost still in admiration, whilst too cowardly to emulate, I do predict that..He intoned,"There will be blowback here."

Your point though is a great one. Let them see.

Something like...'a heart convinced against its will remains one unconvince'd still"...like that.

'No harm, no foul' and no regrets.

Been a NYT reader and sometime...fan for quite a while.

But falling, as we speak, ..or being thrust away from believing ANYthing published there.

So they are water carriers for an incompetent and corrupt Bush Administration...but why?

Is all of MSM now so Corporate as to have actually forgotten journalism...and us folks out here?

But if they've not forgotten...they're liars

And that seriously sux.

Or is AIPAC embedded in the NYT?

Or....?

Tell me.

In the meantime...love Glenn Greenwald.

Acquainted through Daou Report days...in the day.

Be Welcome Sir.

And wondered how it related to another mystery word

(for me, at least)...'poontang'.

They both start 'poo.....'

[No, I'm NOT goin' there!]

So I googled it and here....

"vagina synonyms

vagina, pussy, bearded clam, vertical smile, beaver, cunt, trim, hair pie, bearded ax wound, tuna taco, fur burger, cooch, cooter, punani, snatch, twat, lovebox, box, poontang, cookie....."

Found thus that my two words were simple synonyms.

But , this page [I left all the rest of it off]

goes to about a gazillion terms for vagina.

Let me ask..WHY do do we perambulate so around this

'vagina'-thing...word?

Is that a patriarchal thing or do we have just as many

words skirting around 'penis'?

[Didn't look that up...afraid, probably]

Anybody know? Sexual-linguistics stuff?

Good! on you, M. Leonard...

Wondered where I' read about them.

Musta bin here.

And missed them in the NYT piece...otherwise quite good

I must say [in the face of an otherwise increasing personal suspicion about that paper].

Dug 6 last year. So early days...and I missed the 'planting' part.

Reckoned that windblown seeds would do the trick.

Not...perhaps.

Anyway THNX for the followup.

Shortbus'?

That language is to conflate the two.

[In spite of that one's Sunni, t'other Shi'ite}

Do we know here that they're doing that

kind of dodge?

After all.

Forgot the exact words but we knew even then that

recruitment standards were tanking.

Somebody pull up the precise language...fits.

Kerry for President!...after all.

Well..

It' where one is going, you see.

Can't at all be helped, I fear.

Inexorable, actually.

This irresistible 'A'-Woman.

Damn!..She's gone again.

You've the wherewithal to uncover that.

Publish it from hell to back.

Then the masses would have names, atleast.

We'd know where these thugs live...so to speak.

Or not..as in, they know where YOU live.

Maybe it's come to that.

The trapped rat lashes out.

Be careful, Glenn....

Such creatures are dangerous.

We have one too in the White House who is utterly so.

That was sweet and...true

Nice

...pontificating.

Usually unopposed.

Love that 'Fair and Balanced' we get from the MSM.

Joan...

There are charges out there that...

[Is the?] VA is involved in this fiasco.

Walter Reed is an active Army hospital isn't it and

Not part of the Veteran's Administration?

And then there's the one about the...

On SHO-time recently, can't think title, full of fantastical critters many of whom are fed (fetish-wise)

breast milk..directly [if you know what I mean] by a

very pretty youngster, girl -- about 20 Y.O.

Weird...but then I'm [really?] old-fashioned.
