We have such a strong sense of self, of having a distinct personality and mind independent of our physical body. It is strange to realize just how much of our "self" is pure biology.

Traditional Guy, I met a black guy once; he told me his ancestry consisted of African, Comanche, Scots, Irish.

I heard she voted for Obama.
Is the No Fear company going to hire this woman? They should or they should change their name to Destroyed Amygdala.
Guaranteed she's not courageous enough to defy the pressures of modern fashion and go unshaved :(
