Yes, saw this on sky this morning. Perhaps there is hope for mankind.

If you're looking for reasons to be cheerful this book outlines the decline of violence in humans over the entire period of recorded history:

It's completely fascinating and wonderfully written.

Interesting book that, ABEd.

I am going to see Steve Pinker talk at the BHA Voltaire Lecture in March 2013 :)

Awww, reminds me of a local story, not quite in the same ballpark but nice nonetheless - it is rather sad that such honesty is so surprising though.

He's a lovely gentleman, I took him some special socks which hold heat in when I read he has arthritis in his feet and other bits.

He even switched on the NYE fireworks :)

Well this thread went far better than I expected, I did think the

'Quite Appalling Behaviour' thread would do far better than this one.
4 replies and one of them has nothing at all to do with the article in the link.



Interesting the the appalling behaviour of a black man can generate 78 posts, Yet hardly anyone could give a toss about this amazing act of a homeless black man....................perhaps jtp does have a point?

Och that's lovely - I passed through the room when it was on the news earlier and I wasn't sure what it was all about so thanks for sharing. I hope he has a nice life from now on.

Good well balanced man even tho his hardship in USA may be worse than if he lived in UK & could claim benefits.

We're so lucky here.

It's refreshing for a change to read something good in the news paper.
What a nice story. Thanks for posting this, MT.
