    Hey Wade,

    I don't know. I have a lot of respect for 'Science'. It is one of the most
    respected scientific journals in the world. I don't think they publish
    'bogus' research. And it makes perfect sense to me. See violence. Do
    violence. Memetic transmission at its most basic. Especially when the more
    repellant results are censored.
