It worries me how easily manipulated human beings are. When you look at the political climate of this nation, people often act against their best interests simply because one party or interest group has scared them into doing so. Even worse, such manipulations actually convince people that they aren't acting against their best interests at all.

The Buddha once said, "every human being is the author of his own health or disease." Perhaps he was alluding to the idea of epigenetics and neuronal plasticity thousands of years before scientists would realize it.
