love
'Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a heaven in hell's despair.'
So sung a little clod of clay,
Trodden with the cattle's feet,
But a pebble of the brook
Warbled out these metres meet:
'Love seeketh only Self to please,
To bind another to its delight,
Joys in another's loss of ease,
And builds a hell in heaven's despite.' - The Clod and the Pebble, William Blake
I got the black screen of Wiki for the first time today.

Ugh, Norovirus in the skies.
Establishment of a permissive line for Hep C using microRNA.
BTW, the last episode of Sherlock was so good!
So, is the Chinese economy cooling? Someone who doesn't believe the Chinese have a real estate bubble really has their head stuck in the sand.
Chemistry students have it so easy these days! So many calculators online. You don't have to manually calculate anything anymore!
An interesting idea with bad execution, SOPA. Unfortunately, the Internet community would rather err on the side of freedom rather than protectionism. Wiki is still planning on shutting down on Thursday. :(

citizenship
The Economist has an article about multiple citizenships. I would argue against it. As an individual, you may represent a diversity of countries but one is dominant over the others. This country is the one you hold your loyalty to, identify with, and would protect with your life. I was recently joking with a friend about Canadians. Canadians never let anyone traveling with them doubt who they are. They may talk like Americans but just look at their clothes and property, the maple leaf is somewhere apparent.
In terms of security, I would be more worried about those who carried multiple passports. Why would they need them? Some may argue, practicalities of travel but seriously, a visa isn't that troublesome or that expensive for an experienced traveler. You should petition your government for better relations with that country!
I also argue that patriotism is still important. It represents what your true feelings are about a country. Do you support its laws and basic values? When you go overseas, do you represent this country? Ask the Canadians, they know what it means to represent!

new
Further show of love of the The Economist to the Chinese economy where there is no question that it will continue to fly high.
I disagree with this statement:
Protesters on Wall Street have no ability to remove the CEOs. - How to be a dictator
A historical fallacy has been in the belief that the masses do not impact political and economic systems. In this day, the masses are particularly good at mobilizing media support and can turn the tides of the positive and negative opinions of companies. Otherwise, I like the article.
