A Gay Agenda for Everyone
“A Gay Agenda for Everyone - http://nyti.ms/f8lzTL”
It is time to stop resisting Caligula. He is dead, his religion is dead,His empire is dead, his language is dead, his bureaucracy has disowned him and changed its name. Enough!

Simple answer: NO! The Banks are doing their very best to ignore reality.

The One-Eyed Man Is King
“Still don't understand all the praise for the Coen's True Grit. - http://nyti.ms/gfKHnh YMMV.”
I am not sure I understand the review. I have seen neither movie.
I am running under the assumption that True Grit is a Calvinist world view and The Social Network is a Jewish view. I can be corrected.
Arizona finds it misses the Calvinists and can't play Jewish.

Ex-Spy, Duane R. Clarridge, Runs His Own Private C.I.A.
A network of spies run by Duane R. Clarridge shows how private citizens can exploit the chaos of rivalries inside the government to carry out their agenda.
I believe the term is "Loose cannon". He is working without a net.
The difference between a journalist and a spy is who gets the reporting.

Federal Research Center Will Help Develop Medicines
The Obama administration has become so concerned about the slowing pace of new drugs coming out of the pharmaceutical industry that officials have decided to start a billion-dollar government center to help create medicines.
Industry has not done basic research. The law says publicly held corporations should not. They must invest in projects that will yeild the maximum return for their stockholders. The universities that have supported basic research are now managed as publicly held corporations.
This kind of a government institute is very traditional. -
Tara Stiles’s Brand of Rebel Yoga Draws Claims of Heresy
Tara Stiles, former model turned unconventional yoga teacher, shrugs off criticism from purists by asking, “Who made these rules?”
I approve. I need little excuse to look at beauty. I wonder about the Deepak Chopra connection. That seems to go the right way. I have been getting very sedentary this winter but I still understand that the way to be a physical person is to use ones body. I will study motion further. -

What ‘Modern Family’ Says About Modern Families - This Life
“Observing communication through the sitcom - What ‘Modern Family’ Says About Modern Families - http://nyti.ms/hL3RPZ via @getstoried”
I enjoy both verbal and physical comedy. Drama often puzzles me.
One persons information is another's noise and the reverse. Things are probably dramatic with you.

The Great Unwashed
“Next Sunday: #NYTimes Styles front-page story on ppl who only clean their bathrooms 4 times a year. http://nyti.ms/bxmBSL”
I prefer to wash. Not much beyond that. I hate the smell and taste of deodorants. I don't use them or expect them but I get into trouble if I let the dirt build up on my hide.

Ladders for the Poor
“A year after the earthquake, Haiti needs jobs and livelihoods, not just charity: http://nyti.ms/gyZKNL”
Haiti needs industries that it can retain. Those will provide if they are properly managed.

The Thorny Path to a National Black Museum
Addressing a topic as fraught as race would be challenging anywhere, but it is particularly tricky within the Smithsonian.
The only reasons it could be tense are if perceptions do not match facts.
Facts must rule the day. Faith has a very limited place in the record.
No one will be happy with truth. It is the only way to peace.

I am rooting for liberty. Liberty is very messy. Governors do not like it. It changes things.

Scalia and Thomas May Have Conflict of Interest, Common Cause Says
“The liberal group Common Cause is pointing to what it says are ties between Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas and the conservative financier Charles Koch.”
I would like it if these efforts were successful. I expect to be disappointed.

Jeremy Allaire of Brightcove, on Shaping a Firm’s DNA
Jeremy Allaire of Brightcove, an online video platform for Web sites, says leaders of new businesses must make the right initial hires, as they will set the foundation for growth.
This effort will require a powerful sales force. They have no technical advantage. -

The Greatest Composers - A Top 10 List
A critic picks his top 10 classical music composers, along with an act of contrition. Starting with Bach was the easy part.
I know too much and not enough. Composers worth performing are not all known to me. Any music that outlives its fashionableness is great music.
I am a work in progress. The music I favour has changed and changed again. I have not been listening. I don't know where my tastes are at this moment. -

Brooke Allen has earned his opinion.
I am not ready to write the book on learning and failure to learn among artists either.

The One-Eyed Man Is King
“True Grit” has unalloyed faith in values antithetical to those of the 21st century America so deftly skewered in “The Social Network.”
They are not antithetical to those of the twenty first century. Both systems are very familiar. As I think on it, they may be identical. The tools are different. -

New System Helps Gowanus Canal Breathe Easier
“I had been wondering what this was ... New System Helps Gowanus Canal Breathe Easier - http://nyti.ms/cQwDlY”
They are doing what they can within their budget. The problem, as I understand it is not low oxygen though that exists, it is chemical toxins leaching into the water. Flushing is really the only practical solution. Heavy metals do not go away with oxygen.
