In our class we will explore texts from Greek drama and philosophy, as well as biblical passages and world literature, to examine the importance of the individual's struggle in the search for the Good Life. Here in this blog, we will question the concepts of “courage,” “free speech” and “civil disobedience” as well as attempting to discover the characteristics of the hero/martyr/saint.

A new gene
I just heard on the radio that scientists have discovered a liberal gene.
I guess you can take that as you like.
My phone told me this. Actually, its a gene that makes you more open, and only results in liberal views if one has a lot of friends during adolescence. The friends give the open-minded person more examples of different walks of life. In turn, these people want the poorer to have more government aid, and all those others things that come from knowing lots of people's viewpoints.

Seems like a bit of a stretch if you ask me.
