Coming to a Colon Near You - An endoscopic capsule with magnetic swimming tails can travel inside your colon and use its camera to check for tumors, wounds and other problems. Dr. Gabor Kosa of Tel Aviv University has actually created such a device. It is powered by non-magnetic batteries, and controlled by an MRI machine and/or radio signals. It can cruise your colon at millimeters per second.

This Month's Thought - Subscription governments would make the so-called social contract explicit and voluntary, allowing citizens under their jurisdiction to choose the kind of system they prefer. They might compete for allegiance among those who live commingled in country's borders, or in special zones set up for this purpose. The former, which would have residents living in the same area but with different laws and rules, could be complicated to arrange, but not impossible. The latter would mean people have to move to the jurisdiction that has the system they desire. One key idea here is that the use of power is more just when the system is truly chosen by those whom are governed. Others may feel they get to choose now, but I have no representation in the current system. I didn't choose this government, and I never agreed to any theoretical "social contract" which, after all, is nothing more than an invention of political philosophers designed for the purpose of justifying the use of force to control others. I like the idea of choosing not just those who have political power, but also the rules by which they will govern.
