The Body Politic § SEEDMAGAZINE.COM
- But there’s a growing consensus among scientists that the relationship between us and our microbes is much more of a two-way street. With new technologies that allow scientists to better identify and study the organisms that live in and on us, we’ve become aware that bacteria, though tiny, are powerful chemical factories that fundamentally affect how the human body functions. They are not simply random squatters, but organized communities that evolve with us and are passed down from generation to generation. Through research that has blurred the boundary between medical and environmental microbiology, we’re beginning to understand that because the human body constitutes their environment, these microbial communities have been forced to adapt to changes in our diets, health, and lifestyle choices. Yet they, in turn, are also part of our environments, and our bodies have adapted to them. Our dinner guests, it seems, have shaped the very path of human evolution.

How to deflect asteroids and save the Earth
- Sound far-fetched? NASA's Near Earth Object Program has identified more than 1,000 "potentially hazardous asteroids" and they are finding more all the time. "While none of these objects is currently projected to hit Earth in the near future, slight changes in the orbits of these bodies, which could be caused by the gravitational pull of other objects, push from the solar wind, or some other effect could cause an intersection," French explains.

- 我为什么那么反感国内BSP（博客托管服务，也就是在博客网站上开博），倒不是真因为我就那么厌恶新浪博客等博客篡改博客本质的行为，把原本应是草根的博客开得像明星老鼠会。而是因为，在国内BSP上开博客，就意味着寄人篱下，你自奉为网上家园的博客的实际操纵权并不在你手里而全在网站管理员蟹螯下，你每日精心呵护不过是帮BSP们做做编辑义工而已。
- 再加上我们的外交部新闻发言人在回答为什么屏蔽Yutube时这样回答：“至于能看什么，不能看什么，能看的就看，不能看的就别看。”可以得出结论：河蟹已经疯了，见人就钳，根本不讲任何道理！
