What do I mean? I keep my emotions and my science in
two different boxes, you might consider doing the same.
I look at the trail of my history, and I'm not in it for the money,
nor the power, nor the sex. I live cheap and try to stay out of
trouble. Look at it this way; you've maybe seen the comical
movies where a car skids to the edge of a cliff teetering balanced,
and a little bird lands on one end or the other? That's all the
power I've got and that's all the power you'll ever need.

PS--This morning, I reusume an old curiosity-looking at
the incredible things that the Indians are doing in theoretical
math, statistics, and econometrics. I was thinking of the
contrast between the Japanese econometrics and
the Indian econometric style. Worth a paper, if not a
book. Maybe I will expand it to a comparison between
the Indians, Japanese, the Chinese, and the Rooskies.
There was an article in this morning's Washington Post
titled, "Self-Censoring Scientists" and it was mostly about
stem-cell research, but also about how researchers are
a-skeered to probe, delve, or if they do, to publish or ask
for grants because of how totally chicken-shit politically
correct the world is. Fuck it, you don't own the joint, I do!
Byte me, Gary Owen!
