"NPR - Can We Learn To Forget Our Memories?"

Can We Learn To Forget Our Memories? : Shots - Health Blog : NPR

 

Research shows that under certain circumstances, we can train ourselves to forget details about particular memories.

Around 10 years ago, Malcolm MacLeod got interested in forgetting.
For most people, the tendency to forget is something we spend our time cursing. Where are my keys? What am I looking for in the refrigerator again? What is that woman's name?
But MacLeod who works at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, took a radically different view of forgetting. He wanted to know if it might be possible for people to do it better, to improve their ability to forget, specifically, their ability to intentionally forget their own personal memories.
That time in fourth grade when you walked down the hall with your skirt tucked into the back of your underwear, if you sat down and practiced forgetting, could you erase it?

Comment....This is just another attempt to make Clones out of human beings and being one step closer to the doom of the human race. Its another brainwashing tool. Just wait till the advertising agency's get a hold of this. Hey, if we can make them forget they will do the same thing over and over and spend more money.
       Our minds were meant to remember, to live and learn by our mistakes so we wouldn't do the same thing over and over. We need to laugh at our silly mistakes or set an example for the young by the bad ones. If this so-called scientist could create a method to eliminate all the murderers, thieves and psychopaths from society and the world, then I would agree with him... You absolutely NEED to remember the things you did in the past, its human nature. Like this guy really needs to remember to stop watching the Si-Fi channel. I'm sure I'll be able to remember that....
        I’d like to keep all my memories…The happy ones are like personal treasures that I look back on with pleasure. The bad memories fade away but they are mostly the mistakes I made getting the good ones…

"Ex-NPR Capital Hill Reporter said she was, "Lied to Daily"

Ex-NPR Hill reporter: Lied to daily - Patrick Gavin - POLITICO.com


After 14 years at National Public Radio, Andrea Seabrook left in July and, to hear her talk about her experience covering Capitol Hill, it’s clear that she had one takeaway: It’s damn frustrating. “I realized that there is a part of covering Congress, if you’re doing daily coverage, that is actually sort of colluding with the politicians themselves because so much of what I was doing was actually recording and playing what they say or repeating what they say,” Seabrook told POLITICO. “And I feel like the real story of Congress right now is very much removed from any of that, from the sort of theater of the policy debate in Congress, and it has become such a complete theater that none of it is real. … I feel like I am, as a reporter in the Capitol, lied to every day, all day. There is so little genuine discussion going on with the reporters. … To me, as a reporter, everything is spin.”

Comment.......Wait a minute, it seems to me, let me think here. Didn't someone write about this only this morning?    OMG it was me!

"Salty Language"

           It was another hot day yesterday…All winter long I complained about the cold…Well, not complained just, well yes, complained and whined…No more! I’m not going to say anything about the weather..

Comment…..Example of Greed out of control...Delta Airlines charging our soldiers who are coming home from risking their lives in those Hellholes over there $200 for the extra duffel bag. The government said they (that means we) will pick up the tab. I wonder who the ass-wipe was that thought of that charge…It must have been some dope in a staff meeting somewhere?…Duh…

No comment on the Anthony case except that I feel really bad for that beautiful little kid….

Comment…Posting a picture of your body parts on an Internet Social page is a really stupid thing to do. There is no other way to say it.. This is an example of the kind of fool who makes decisions about the future of our country and what kind of money to spend on what and where. He is the laughing stock of the political world. Plus, he’s so ego driven that he won’t resign. Hell, I can’t imagine not resigning. How does he justify this behavior to his pregnant wife and unborn child. This guy has no pride or morals. He should be fired or impeached or what ever they do to these idiots…When I hear his name I can only think of a Weiner showing pictures of his Weener…World wide humiliation. Even the Taliban is laughing at him…Think about that! What is the attraction about that Congress job? Prestige, ego? Someone should ask his Mother and Father what they think about his behavior and if that is the way they brought him up? Hey, dumb ass. Who do you think you are?  Bill Clinton? It has to be self interest because he certainly doesn’t care about the people. On Dave the other night he was the “Butt” of all the jokes…Now, I heard there are new nude pictures! His colleagues should check how old the girls are that he sent his nude pictures to. They should also check his “Hard” drive for Porn…This guy is a pervert and he should be on some kind of pervert watch list. Like, “Warning”, don’t let this loser give any speeches in your school.

Comment…..The price of gas went up again and our wonderful President is still doing nothing about it. I don’t know too much about this story, I just caught the tail end of it on NPR but Yelling here>>>“Its not my job to know”. It seems there was a disagreement in the negotiations they are having about how much to rape the American people at the gas pump….I actually feel dirty when I buy gas. I hate giving those Bastards anything. I hate that this country allows them to hurt us like this.

Comment..….Doesn’t the television networks realize that there are too many commercials on in the morning. Morning Hell, all day….Boring and repetitive, geared to the weak minded, designed to have people max out their already maxed out credit cards and to take money from people who don’t have any money…Television is to the point of embarrassment themselves. Hey, greedy producers! Can you imagine how many people mute the TV? Personally, I mute the TV in the morning and I don’t watch TV at night. If you are so good with statistics you figure out why.
