I never seem to catch the Sunday broadcast, but they air it a couple of times during the week here, I'll definitely try to catch it.

I suppose it makes some sense to believe that there's a choice behind everything we do. The alternative is accepting the fact that things can be random and out of our control. I wonder if this is a cultural thing? This is not to say that we are slaves to our biology. I don't think Ken Lay can say "I had no choice in scamming billions of dollars - I'm hardwired to be a sleazeball". This is probably just belaboring the obvious though.

I thought the '90s were the proclaimed "Decade of the Brain". It's 2003 - they haven't figured it out yet? :)

No, we're not really special - but we do have opposable thumbs!

My mind is going....there is no question about it.
