ahah I know it's probably too late, but did you read ramez naam's book "the infinite ressource, the power of ideas on a finite planet"

Any thoughts on mandatory retirement contributions for employers? (The idea, not the viability of implementation in the US).

Do you have a favorite breed of rabbit? I had a couple of mini-rexs (rexes?) when i was growing up.
How do you keep rabbits from chewing up, or scratching up, carpeting?
