Textbooks and Einstein.
The Economist has a cool story up on Einstein. It's worth the few minutes to read it if you're a big Einstein fan, as I am. He's one of my two personal heroes; I loved the extensive Einstein exhibit that the Museum of Science had up about a year ago. I think I read every placard in it. (The other personal hero being Ben Franklin who was also a mad cool motherfucker.)
The other cool article (maybe disturbing's a better word) that I discovered was about textbooks for American schoolchildren. Ugh, the more I read about politics and beauracracy, the more I want to just leave and start my own country somewhere else. It won't be perfect, but free thought will not only be allowed — it will be encouraged!
