Robert, 'n all,
Here is an electronic version of the E.O. Wilson interview that irked me,
courtesy of Frank Wimberly. I get irked by U.S. Mail.

Fair enough. Next transmission. I have to admit that there parts I just
did not understand, partly because I don't think the interviewer understood
them. It's conceivable that he redeems himself in those parts, but somehow
I doubt it.
Good to hear from you, Robert.

Nick—Care to indulge in a bit of intellectual piracy and send out the PDF
of the article that pissed you off? Otherwise those of us who don't have a
subscription to the New Yorker won't really understand what you are writing
about.

Is it proof that politicions can evolve? I know he also wants to get
re-elected so that has to be a driving factor.

I like the idea of banks being the means by which coins distribute
themselves. Of course, being inanimate and not capable of evolution, it's a
hard case to make. Although perhaps we can say that people and our sense of
pecuniary aesthetics is the means coins have developed to evolve themselves.

The recent interview with E.O. Wilson in the New Yorker pissed me off so bad
I had to write them a letter. Since the letter won't be published, I am
tempted to inflict it on all of you.
Thanks for your patience,
Nick
