Actually, there's a good deal of evidence to suggest that pheromones are a factor in human sexual attraction. But they work a bit like the love potion described in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (which smells different to each person depending on what attracts THEM).

No doubt there are a wide variety of pheromones shed by humans some most commonly by males and some most commonly by females. But it's also likely that some males shed pheromones that are more commonly shed by women and vice versa.

To complicate things even more, each human is likely hard wired to respond to certain pheromones, again, usually males to females and vice versa, but not always. Furthermore studies show that there do, indeed, seem to be genetic factors which discourage individuals from being attracted to someone who is too genetically similar to themselves.

It's also common that the gay boys most likely to suffer verbal/physical abuse from homophobic straight boys are shedding what are more commonly female pheromones and thus invoking sexual attraction in those straight boys who react violently out of their own terror that they might be gay, themselves.

No single synthetic pheromone will attract ALL the people you want to attract (or even any of them). A complex combination of pheromones might work better, but even there, unless you knew exactly what trips the triggers in the pheromone receptors of the person you're trying to attract to yourself, it would be completely hit or miss as to whether the pheromones you were using would have the desired affect.

Who attends a public meeting, by whatever name it's called, to try to hear what your elected representative has to say about what's been happening in congress, not only on the healthcare bill negotiations, but also on everything else.

Now imagine this meeting is rapidly disrupted by people shouting slogans that have nothing to do with anything your representative has yet said. Imagine that those shouting the slogans are sayings things as stupid as "no government takeover of medicare!"

Don't you walk away from that meeting determined to ignore, if not actively work against the same idiots that were responsible for disrupting the meeting and preventing your representative from being heard (Republican Astroturf organizations, as everyone well knows).

If you're an elected representative, how many times does this have to happen before you switch from being a bit intimidated to being angry. How long before you rise to the occasion by refusing to be intimidated and working to spite those making the attempt by doing even more of what the astroturf protesters are protesting against.

I suspect this entire intimidation effort is going to blow up in the Republican's faces and they will find, ignorant as they are of how healthy people react to bullying behavior, that when the House comes back into session, several of the compromises they've already forced into the health care bill will be rolled back and the bill will rapidly pass in a form many of us mid-to-left voters will like much better than what we were seeing before the recess.

But, along the lines of the "lotechs" of the movie "Johnnie Mnemonic," does anyone out there know enough to cause network problems for weasel news or the network that carries Rubaugh?

Perhaps breaking in over the top of the weasels with actual truth... perhaps a voice double broadcasting an entire Rubaugh show indicating that the Rubesk one has changed his mind about everything and apologizing for the damage he's done to this nation?

There are a thousand creative possibilities that come to mind. After all, the public airwaves belong to the people and are supposed to be serving the needs of the people. Does anyone have the ability and the cojones to pull this off while covering their tracks? Seems like playing with/over riding a satellite feed should do the trick, doesn't it?!

Whatever you do, please do it with careful, reasoned tone and subtlety and not like an eight-year-old practicing cussing in his parent's basement.

You could do far more for the world and your nation than a mere computer hacker taking down twitter or google could ever do (although, come to think of it, a computer hack might do the trick, too)!
