Peace Unpatriotic?
From the Care2 newsletter:
"War has begun, but should we just accept it? While most Americans support the troops, many Americans feel that the war is unjust and an inappropriate use of U.S. power. Does disagreeing with the war mean you aren’t patriotic or that you don’t love your country? Absolutely not, according to one of the greatest presidents in American history, Theodore Roosevelt. "
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong,is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
"Roosevelt in 1918, challenged Woodrow Wilson’s sweeping crackdown against dissent after the American entry into World War I. While Roosevelt was a major supporter of WWI, he firmly believed the public should be allowed to express dissent."
"Clearly, the ability to stand up in opposition to our leaders has made America strong and unique. It’s not only American; it’s one of our founding principles."

Making robots more like us
By Yudhijit Bhattacharjee
“Call it crazy, but Monica Nicolescu has taken a robot under her wing. At a robotics laboratory at the University of Southern California, she puts the two-wheeled machine through its paces, leading it through a maze of short plastic pillars to an orange box on the floor. It follows her around the lab, observing and reproducing her every step.”
