I can probably find rankings that put Harvard at wildly different rankings in all of those categories too. The fact of the matter is, outside of Law and Business (okay okay, Math too), Harvard does not exactly float to the top of anybody's

If killing and eating animals is inhumane and immoral, is mass genocide any better?

I wish someday that the next vegans I meet are the same bunch you've met. Almost every single vegan I've met has been the loud, obnoxious, moralizing, more righteousnesses than thou, I don't care if I'm being difficult and selfish and forci

I'd have a hard time relying on the data. Even in my own personal linkedin contacts, it's full of out-of-date data. Most people seem to be a bit lazy with keeping their profiles up-to-date.

I've always wondered what the plan is. Meaning, suppose the entire population is "enlightened" to the vegan diet and stops eating meat and using animal products, what are we supposed to do with the animals we're no longer eating? The indust

I really hope that somebody gets around to implementing a grammar checker in their document editing tool at the level of Office. I don't use it terribly often, but I notice it when it's not there in competing products.
