Random Analogies

What: My girl friend ,from years ago, grew up in Thailand. She's thought the Catholic teaching on sex was kinda stupid. She said it reduced human beings to animals. The logic of her argument is pretty clear: Animals have sex to reproduce Catholics have sex to reproduce Therefore Catholics are animals, farm animals. The laity are farm animals bred for the power purpose of a bunch of Authoritarian Italians. Of course, they(we) are well educated farm animals, but farm animals none the less. Now, there's nothing wrong with animals. It's just that Human beings are more than just another animal, despite what many misinformed and misanthropic people might think.

"John Farley's laboratory has a laser beam/ion beam spectrometer. In this instrument, a laser beam is used to measure the absorption spectrum of molecular ions. Measuring the spectrum of an ion is like taking the fingerprint of the ion: it allows identification of the ion. Furthermore, the spectrum reveals the energy levels of the ion, the spacing of the atoms, and the strength of the chemical bonds. Molecular ions are important in the upper atmosphere (ionosphere), in molecular clouds in the interstellar medium and also in industrial plasmas such as those used to make computer chips."
