Well...I hadn't seen this one before...Maybe the discussion wasn't so great. I could only turn it on for a minute today 'cause I had company. Looked like some flakey houswives. Oh well, sometimes ya win, sometimes ya lose.

Just got my copy, haven't had time to get past the intro yet. Good damned author so far, though. Cept for one li'll thing. I'm not quite sure he's not asking for stone soup. He says he wants to encourage people to use their gut instincts, first impressions and that will make this a better world. But, uh, we do, don't we? I mean, some individuals and some cultures tend to be better at it than others, but this is not a new trick at all, and he even says as much.
Guess I should shut up and read some more, hope to have time to tonight.
