Have you ever met a person who thinks a lot like you do but differently enough that he or she serves as a scary funhouse mirror? Sort of like meeting an extremist who has your core beliefs? That is how I felt when I found this collection of excerpts from the heavy Usenet poster The Danimal. He has been posting on Usenet for at least fifteen years and has submitted thousand of articles. He writes with precision, humor, harshness, and elegance about sociobiology, the scientific method, futurism, the battle between the sexes, empiricism, logical positivism, education, psychometrics, and more. I find him frightening because he starts with many of my premises but ends up at different places than I do, and I think he probably is smarter than I am.

Emory study lights up the political brain
Rated • 4 reviews • politics, psychology, neurology, neuroscience • eurekalert.org
The investigators used functional neuroimaging (fMRI) to study a sample of committed Democrats and Republicans during the three months prior to the U.S. Presidential election of 2004. The Democrats and Republicans were given a reasoning task in which they had to evaluate threatening information about their own candidate. During the task, the subjects underwent fMRI to see what parts of their brain were active. What the researchers found was striking.

From the page: "Look at the most recent complete data available from both countries. In 2003, the violent crime rate in the United States was 475 per 100,000 population, while up north, there were 963 violent crimes per 100,000 population. The figure for sexual assault in Canada per 100,000 population was more than double that of the United States, 74 as opposed to 32.1, and the assault rate in Canada was also more than twice that of the states, 746 to our 295 for the population rate."

This is an interesting discussion about setting poetry to music in general and doing so to "The world is too much with us; late and soon," by William Wordsworth in particular. The site has a sound file of the end result. Alas, I found said result painful, but my tastes are not universal, and the musician describing his thinking process in creating a setting was worth the time needed to read it.
