Random Thoughts about Intellectual Disconnects

1. Saw the movie AVATAR last night and liked it. I would recommend it to other people, but I can't shake the thought that a technology as fabulous as the one depicted in the film would have put bio-monitoring and location instrumentation into the naavi clones. Since the introduction of Sculley to the Naavi is based on him getting lost in the forest without support, it was important that the corporation couldn't find him the first night, but it makes no sense to me why they wouldn't tag their property.

2. Our health economics professor may be really smart about economics and maybe even health economics, but she knows freaking nothing about the practice of pharmacy. That may not be a problem except she's lecturing to a room full of student pharmacists and making an incredible number stultifying statements.
