my examined life

I don’t know about you, but in the past few years I have read a number of articles in which scientific studies are showing that more and more of how we behave is based upon our genes. This interesting article talks about how genes may play a roll in the age at which we loose our virginity.

Personally, I like to believe that I’m in control of my decisions and not my DNA, but if you wish to remove one’s responsibility from one’s actions it sure is nice to have science back you up. Being LDS, I have to say most Mormons must have slower genes as most of us are pretty old, compared to the rest of the world, when we first have sex. Though, I’m sure this has more to do with our upbringing and/or religion than our genes.

Another Cabinet nominee, Governor Sebelius for Health and Human Services, has tax problems. The funny thing about this time is that I couldn’t find the story on the front page of any major news site, but I suppose it has become so common place that no one cares any more.

So, I’m thinking either our tax code is so messed up that everyone is a tax cheat, or anyone making over a certain amount just plain isn’t paying their share.
