Does Science Go Too Far?

In this report scientists successfully taught a gorilla the concept of death. The gorilla understood that he would eventually die and it impacted his life dramatically. I feel that our curiosity as humans can be both beneficial and in some cases daring and cruel. View the video and voice your opinion about it, the video comes from an opinion based website so some of the commentary is not reliable but the gist of the story is still present.

Take a Breath?

I was just curious as to how people feel. Being that in college we as students get used to getting everything fast, fast information, fast food, and even fast hook-ups. But I am curious, does this fast life style hinder us from being able to allow something to take it's time? Say for instance a relationship, will this lifestyle prevent us from getting to know someone on a deep and intimate level? Our will we be caught in a web of superficiality?

Remember "We Think Flying Sparks Will Grow Into Long-Lasting Love" "Sparks can only ignite what has been stored and accumulated, Sparks cannot accumulate themselves."

African or Not?

So I attended a forum today talking about Africans and African-Americans and it was stated that African Americans who refer to themselves as black are denying their African heritage/roots. I feel that the only to expand and strengthen ourselves as a black community we all need to have one universal identity. We as black people need to recognize not deny our black roots, along with the entire diaspora of people with African roots. Every black people from the Caribbean, the US, North, West, East, & South Africa, and our African Latinos need to unify in identity and only from their can we begin to expand as a people. What do you refer to yourself as and why?

P.S. African American on my Census not NEGRO!!!
