• Homosexual behavior due to genetics and environmental factors says world's largest study of twins

  Sat Jun 28, 2008
  • Through all of this-- and I have contributed several times to the discussion-- it strikes me as baffling why some are so threatened by homosexuals. I am gay (50-years old) and have experienced a lifetime of this looming question.

• State of Transit in Seattle

  Wed Jul 2, 2008
  • That's such a great point maw. I moved to Seattle almost 20-years ago and have REALLY seen the enormous changes on our freeways and transit system. But you're right. Four bucks was the tipping point when it comes to the buses. AND WOW has it ever tipped!

• Kittens Thrown Onto Freeway From Moving Car

  • Thankfully, in Washington State we have severe animal cruelty laws. This is a horrible crime and it hurts me to read it. My hope is that the offenders experience the full extent of the laws which apply.

• As Israel's history fades away in cardboard boxes, gov't plans a national museum | Jerusalem Post

  • No. I won't accuse you of that- but your comment does NOT take away from the fact that the story is an interesting piece given the fact that the State of Israel just celebrated its 60th year. I have very close family in Israel and visit the nation often. It is a beautiful place. Cheers.

• Is McCain Too Old To Be President? Only If You're Historically Illiterate

  Mon Jun 30, 2008
  • Well- at some point in the future we may see average lifespans well into the hundreds so I would still say NO. It would depend on the fitness of the candidate.

• Is McCain Too Old To Be President? Only If You're Historically Illiterate

  Mon Jun 30, 2008
  • I'm absolutely Independent and have not made a choice in this election, but age should NOT be an issue for either candidate. And I would add that a Vice-Presidential pick is of great importance for both men as the person they choose, as is often said, is one heartbeat away from the office.

• Mars coverage NOT out of this world.

  Mon Jun 30, 2008
  • frederar. I think it's a bit of both- media and audience. But it truly is the "chicken/egg" argument because have we (media) conditioned the audience to expect so little because we've splintered into so much specialty- a magazine for everything- a channel for everything?

• Domesticated chimp is missing in California forest

  Tue Jul 1, 2008
  • Well, you're absolutely right about wild animals as pets. It's an enormous and under-reported problem in this country. I saw a Dateline piece on this particular story and it is quite sad.
