It appears lawmakers are willing to pass a bill apologizing for slavery, but the black leaders want money. They are fighting hard against a disclaimer which simply states descendants of slaves can’t sue or collect money from the federal government. Even Obama is against this, and believes making inner city schools better should be enough. Do people really believe blacks should get money for something that happened to their great great grandfathers? Can I sue Germany for shooting my grandfather during WW2? Can Jews sue for the holocaust? Wars and the Holocaust were a lot worse than slavery.

He explores the constraints the human brain places on innovative thinking, including fear of failure, the urge to conform, and the tendency to interpret sensory information in familiar ways.
Through vivid accounts of successful innovators ranging from glass artist Dale Chihuly to physicist Richard Feynman to country/rock trio the Dixie Chicks, Berns reveals the inner workings of the iconoclast’s mind with remark… More >>Iconoclast: A Neuroscientist Reveals How to Think Differently
