take me to church has a WHOLE different meaning than I thought, and here’s the meaning behind the Hanging Tree song.

#2 notes that she really likes the writing over at Mike the Mad Biologist. #1 has probably been reading that site longer, but thinks he’s a bit unfair in the way he paints all economists with the same brush, especially when he goes on his semi-regular anti-economics screeds. It’s like saying all biologists believe what evolutionary psychologists believe.

Lots of great links there! Some of them show how America has changed quite a bit.

In your note about Mike the Mad Biologist, I think you meant to reference “evolutionary psychology” there. All biologists are by definition evolutionary biologists, or they are not biologists. But really hardly any biologists spout the views spouted by people into “evolutionary psychology”.
