How the future began
Article Abstract:
Today's scientists and thinkers accept that it is not possible to predict with any certainty what will happen in the 21st century. Instead, it is more useful to view the 21st century in terms of a set of five experiments that will certainly have some interesting outcomes. These experiments are global warming, the rapid growth of the human population, the progress of technology, the progress of evolution and consilience, in which a single vision unites arts and sciences, philosophies, experiments and emotions.

East of the Rockies they found abundant bison, elk, deer, wolves, and grizzly bears. West of the Rockies, the Indians were starving, and the expedition ate horses and dogs to survive.

Oral sex anxiety
Article Abstract:
Men also are uneasy about giving oral sex to a woman because of the thought that she might not reach orgasm or will be just faking it. Women are sometimes afraid that men will be turned off by the smell or taste but these are farthest from a man's mind who is striving to make her reach orgasm.
