Scott Adams is reading my e-mails... OR MY MIND
(I also just had an oww-inducing déjà vu while writing this post.)
1) I talked to Beca about how geniocracy might be better than democracy; next time I check Reader Mr Adams has published this post about American democracy versus whatever is going on in China.
