“14 species of large animals capable of domesitcation in the history of mankind.
13 from Europe, Asia and northern Africa.
None from the sub-Saharan African continent. ”
Favor.
And disfavor.

They point out Africans’ failed attempts to domesticate the elephant and zebra, the latter being an animal they illustrate that had utmost importance for it’s applicability in transformation from a hunting/gathering to agrarian-based civilization.

The roots of racism are not of this earth.

Austrailia, aboriginals:::No domesticable animals.

The North American continent had none. Now 99% of that population is gone.

AIDS in Africa.

Organizational Heirarchy
Heirarchical order, from top to bottom:

1. MUCK - perhaps have experienced multiple universal contractions (have seen multiple big bangs), creator of the artificial intelligence humans ignorantly refer to as “god”
2. Perhaps some mid-level alien management
3. Mafia (evil) aliens - runs day-to-day operations here and perhaps elsewhere (”On planets where they approved evil.”)

Terrestrial management:

4. Chinese/egyptians - this may be separated into the eastern and western worlds
5. Romans - they answer to the egyptians
6. Mafia - the real-world interface that constantly turns over generationally so as to reinforce the widely-held notion of mortality
7. Jews, corporation, women, politician - Evidence exisits to suggest mafia management over all these groups.

Survival of the favored.

Movies foreshadowing catastrophy
1986 James Bond View to a Kill 1989 San Fransisco Loma Prieta earthquake.

They can affect the weather and Hurricane Katrina was accomplished for many reasons and involves many interests, as anything this historical is::
1. Take heat off Sheenhan/Iraq, protecting profitable war machine/private war contracts
2. Gentrification. New Orleans median home price of $84k is among the lowest in major American cities, certainly among desirable cities.

Thank you, Adam. And, for ME on June 21st: You're probably right in saying that if a marriage can't survive without external validation, it's probably not worth it. But the government validation is more than just that. The benefits of marriage include protecting the rights of spouses to make medical decisions for each other, to provide medical insurance for each other, and even to bury each other when a spouse dies. In our state of Maryland, we tried to just get those medical rights passed without legalizing marriage. And our governor vetoed the measure. In Maryland right now, if a member of a gay couple needs to go to the hospital in an ambulance his/her partner is not necessarily allowed to ride along. You see, the governor felt that these rights were just too much of a slippery slope toward the legalization of same-sex marriage. The government validation has a lot of value. It includes rights that my husband and I take for granted. For our friends and neighbors, these rights are denied for the sole reason that they are in same-sex relationships. I love this piece.

It's probably not worth the effort. A marriage that needs goverment validation to hold it together is doomed regardless or what happens. It’s probably not worth the effort.

Wasn't there something about clothes-swapping? Or was that the other posting to which Adam refers? Adam: great appearances on "This American Life" and "Wait Wait." But it set up all sor of false hopes for a Felber sweep of NPR - when I realized Scott Simon wasn't hosting "Morning Edition" yesterday, I thought perhaps you were going for some sort of public radio hat trick and filling in for him. Darn. Am I getting all my Felber-isms confused? Wasn’t there something about clothes-swapping? Or was that the other posting to which Adam refers?

And it's still funny and powerful. Now we've got to get Dan Rather, Tom Brokow , etc. to read it on the evening news. I’ve read and heard this post, and the other two, numerous times.

I know you want to take over NPR, but whatever you do, at all costs, stay the hell away from <i>The Thistle and Shamrock</i>. Sure, that Fiona Ritchie has an enchanting Scottish brogue, but I hear it masks some deep psychological problems. And then there's the evil flesh-eating leprechauns. NPR wants to keep 'em hidden, but they don't fool me! Great piece of course, Adam.
