Talk to anyone who has “lost it“. If your conversation is not taking place in a prison visiting room you will likely hear the guilty party exclaim that they actually feel much better for having purposely jumped into their deep end. To a person, however, they also muse why it took so long to recognize […]

From the forums on the Department of Nuclear Engineering University of Berkeley, California website National Desk Rejected My Stories On Fukushima Submitted by So Cal newswriter (not verified) on Thu, 2011-04-21 02:20.

Impatience runs oh, so very deep through the heart of modern human genes. And unfortunately, that incredibly presumptive evolutionary state influences each and every position we ponder.
