What: "This is why computer analogies of our genome are bad. Our genome isn't a giant control panel packed with million of switches, blinking lights, buzzers, gauges, and chrome-plated knobs. Our genome is like Darwin's tangled bank, an ecosystem filled with elements that have their own agenda in mind. Function is a fluid thing. Regulatory sites wink into and out of existence. Transposable elements pick up transcription factor binding sites, giving themselves an advantage, but they spread those sites around, occasionally leaving something that, with a tweak, turns out to be useful. Function emerges from, and disappears back into the seething genomic jungle." Or dear what a mess. And by the way Darwin didn't invent anything. He just proposed a plausible mechanism for variability between species.

What:

"We keep electing crooks only because they are the ones with money. If an ethical and honest person gets elected, they are either corrupted or made powerless. If more of our congressmen, senators, and presidents had a community college or state school education, we would be better off. Today, most politicians have an Ivy League education and already belong to the "club." In most cases, the tension between politicians is just an act .....just like pro wrestling. When they aren't in front of the cameras, they go to the same bars and laugh at the suckers."
