Below is a roundup of news, politics science, and humor. I plan on doing this about once a week as long as people seem interested. I hope you enjoy.
But first, to us cat lovers (l like dogs too, but not my style of pet) this is the best video of all...a cat defending a kid from a dog attack: (I am sure most of you have seen it...I seem to be one of the last)
What impresses me most is that once the cat has driven off the dog, it goes BACK to the kid. It wasn't just going for the dog, it was clearly protecting the kid. Also I should note that the cameras are security cameras (one person wondered who would just film it and not intervene).
GLOBAL TRENDS IN ANTI-SEMITISM:
There is an interesting survey that shows the tendencies towards anti-Semitism in many countries around the world. Iran isn't as bad as you'd think. Greece and France are disappointingly anti-Semitic. And Laos and the Philippines are the least anti-Semitic nations surveyed! Who knew?
