Field Guide to the Loner: The Real Insiders
-socially withdrawn people have increased sensitivity to all kinds of emotional interactions and sensory cues, which may mean that they find pleasure where others do not

-in our society, where extroverts make up three-quarters of the population, loners are pegged as creepy or pathetic; although they can function well in everyday life, they simply prefer traveling through their own interior universe

-while outgoing people savor the nuances of social interaction, introverts tend to focus more on their own ideas, and on stimuli that don't register in the minds of others

-"Some people simply have a low need for affiliation," says Jonathan Cheek, a psychologist at Wellesley College

-while a few studies have shown a correlation between creativity, originality, and introversion, perhaps more striking is the greater enjoyment introverts seem to reap from creative endeavors.

-because introverts are good at noticing subtleties that other people miss, they are well-suited for careers that require close observation, like writing and scientific research

-contrary to popular belief, not all loners have a pathological fear of social contact

The same probe that sent Duke Cunningham to jail led to the indictment of Kyle "Dusty" Foggo. The former CIA executive director allegedly accepted bribes from Brent Wilkes, a high-school friend who also happened to be a defense contractor and a major Republican donor. Foggo, who was appointed in 2004 by then-CIA Director Porter Goss, stands accused of granting Wilkes contracts in return for lavish gifts, including a one-week stay at a Scottish castle. Revelations of Foggo's sexual proclivities have done little to burnish his reputation, either.

Stop coming to work and save the planet

2007-04-24T20:10:00.000-05:00

By Richard Gray, Science Correspondent, Sunday Telegraph
Last Updated: 12:30am BST 22/04/2007

For most of us facing gridlocked roads and packed trains, the Monday morning commute is a more pressing concern than climate change.

Traffic jam: Stop coming to work and save the planet
Staggering rush hours could tackle climate change.

But there may be a single solution to both, according to business leaders.

The Institute of Directors is calling for flexible hours and more home working to help tackle global warming.

Miles Templeman, the institute's director-general, said offering employees greater flexibility would ease pressure on transport networks and cut rush-hour power demand - thereby reducing emissions. Mr Templeman urged ministers not to rush into policies that risked harming the economy, such as caps on emissions and carbon taxes.

Speaking ahead of the institute's annual convention later this week, he criticised the Government over its "ideological" approach to climate change.

"The politicians are still hooked up on this global leadership on climate change, which has become a political bandwagon," he said. "You can see all the politicians trying to out-green each other. There is a danger they will damage competitiveness and companies will move jobs to other countries."

His comments come weeks after Chris Gibson Smith, the chairman of the London Stock Exchange, said the Government's policies on climate change risked damaging British business.

He said Britain could not tackle climate change on its own and carbon emission penalties put the country's competitive edge at risk.

A spokesman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said: "The UK environmental industry is already a success story and worth some £25 billion annually.

"Boosting energy efficiency makes good financial sense for business and also helps cut carbon emissions."

The agents accepted the veracity of “V’s” message and refrained from veering “V” from his vanguard visit as the vox populi.

"Enforcing marijuana prohibition costs taxpayers between $10 billion and $12 billion annually and has led to the arrest of nearly 18 million Americans. Nevertheless, some 94 million Americans acknowledge having used marijuana during their lives. It makes no sense to continue to treat nearly half of all Americans as criminals for their use of a substance that poses no greater - and arguably far fewer - health risks than alcohol or tobacco. A better and more sensible solution would be to tax and regulate cannabis in a manner similar to alcohol and tobacco."

The question that arises is whether, in fact, we're not already experiencing what is in essence a creeping coup d'état. But it's not people in uniform who are seizing power. It's militarized civilians, who conceive of the world as such a dangerous place that military power has to predominate, that constitutional constraints on the military need to be loosened. The ideology of national security has become ever more woven into our politics. It has been especially apparent since 9/11, but more broadly it's been going on since the beginning of the Cold War.
