I don’t normally blog about blogs, and for some reason I am missing the blog roll widget, but if I had one Freakonomics would definitely be on there. At the moment there is a very interesting post by Stephen J. Dubner regarding an economic approach to human behavior by Gary …
I just watched the wartapes and I must say it is a great film. It is very interesting to see how these guys react to being there. If you are hoping to watch a war film with action and explosions, this isn’t it. It is the honesty with which Spc. …
