Steroids use in sports

Since we are not able to determine who has or has not cheated in the
past (or currently in most cases), I say we simply take blood tests
from everyone in professional sports each year.
As new methods are developed to test for illegal drug use, say 5 or
10 years later, we test those samples and strip those found guilty of
abuse of any records or titles. Including removing them from the hall
of fame.

Darwin was wrong, kindof

Don't get me wrong, Darwin's theories are brilliant. I just think he
didn't get it quite right.

Darwin thought of DNA as a blue-print to create a specific creature.
I believe that DNA is more like a computer program, with variables.
When you run that program, the value of the variables (which are
impacted by the environment) impact the execution of the program.
Public school education might imply that the DNA is used to
"initiate" the development and that by the time a child is born, they
are pretty well defined. After which, they just simply grow-up...
Wrong! Program execution is a life long process. And since execution
is a life long process the impact of the environment becomes profound
(think twins). More importantly, the process is recursive. These
changes impact the creation of new cells and new DNA... Yes, the
program itself changes.

My prediction is that we will find that a person's DNA before/at/near
birth will be different from the DNA they pass on (their reproductive
DNA). This would mean that evolution is not purely a function of
random mutation. Instead it is a much more elegant reaction to our
environment.... Admittedly, my problems with random mutation probably
stem from my inability to comprehend vast timescales. I simply find
the ability of life to adapt to be too powerful to be dependent on
random mutation, especially when you look at the many symbiotic
relationships that exist.

Which drivers do I hate most?

Is it the slow driver in the left lane, or is it the lazy driver in the middle lane? I must admit that I vacillate between the two. But I have to give the honors to the driver who jumps out into the middle lane and turns a three lane highway into a one laner. Talk about the height of laziness, these guys (and gals) cause drivers to clog the left lane creating havoc for all.

But while we are on the topic, I cannot figure out what it is about people that makes them speed up when they are being passed. Is this just crazy or what? The logical thing to do is to SLOW DOWN and let the other car get around you, or heaven forbid, PULL OVER and let them get past without having to risk their lives. If you have traffic behind you, trying to get by, it only takes a second to move to the right side of the lane and slow down to allow a pass. If it still too difficult or dangerous for the passer, pull over at the next turn-out... It really doesn't take any time and does good for everyone (yourself included).

So, how about this simple rule?
If there are cars immediately behind you, and no cars immediately in front of you, move right.

Simple huh? Whether there are ten lanes or one lane, this rule applies.

BTW, this would solve the middle lane problem also.
