OUR HEART'S ARE STRONG, BUT THEY'RE NOT MADE OF WOOD

                OUR HEART'S ARE STRONG, BUT THEY'RE NOT MADE OF WOOD

                Our hearts are strong, but they're not made of wood;
                Or tin; or plastic; rubber; or of steel!
                Our hearts are fragile ... that's not understood,
                Since most seem to believe that hearts can't feel.

                Our hearts do feel and hear -- soft, gentle speech
                Can tender make our hearts, which long for more.
                Unkindness can put hurt hearts out of reach,
                Their memories long lasting, to the core....

                Our hearts, in paradise when love is true,
                Can manage bruises from a little storm;
                When winds of words blow harsh to mask the blue,
                No hot remorse or love can make hearts warm.

                Rash words, when driven, always drill some holes,
                Right through our hearts -- our minds -- to stab our souls.

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all...

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs. ...
