"...anti-violence pressure groups." We call them lobbyists and interest groups in the US. The phrase "pressure groups" would drive school psychologists mad.
Did no one read his book - Blink - Author of a best-selling book, The Tipping Point?
They're both great books to read, it talks about some decisions are best made quickly, and how our consciousness sometimes decides for us, before we even start to narrow down our decisions.
I feel ahead of everyone else, cuz this was the cover story on BusinessWeek's most recent issue.:P
But, it's interesting how the economy kind of... fixes itself, in a way.

It's not that I had no appreciation for AP classes, just that they're not offered in the dirt poor school district I go to. But I'm sure I'll be successful without them.
In my high school, AP classes don't exist. I'm supposed to be going to the best high school in my school district... but we don't get AP classes. It's called the inner-city.
This is why I watch Univision (the Spanish Channel). At least they know their language AND English. This way I don't have to deal with pointless US stories about anorexic heiresses and the like.
There's also PBS.

thank you.
Judging from the phrase "dubious origins", I don't think they mean the same hardware that we're thinking of.
That's where I'm going when I graduate from high school. They told me they're a top 10 research university... THIS is MY kind of research!
