Dogs made the same "error" that ten month old infants do.  Wolves (raised by humans) didn't.  Dogs are apparently primed to be responsive to humans, wolves aren't.

I'd love to see them try this with the livestock guardian breeds, who are among the least responsive of domestic dogs.  I'd bet money that they'd score as wolves, not dogs.  Now I wish I'd paid more attention to this incident.

Cuchulainn had disnterred one of his bones and wanted to lie down and have a good chew.  The boxer from next door kept trying to literally snatch it from his jaws.  Annoyed, irritated and just wanting Joe Boxer (his real name) to go away, Cuchulainn went to the fence and dug a hole, buried the bone and covered it over again.  Then he left.  Joe Boxer looked around, stunned at his good luck and started digging.  Cuchulainn was on the other side of the fence, digging under it.  Being a much better digger, he got to the prize first and carried it off.  I so busy laughing that I don't remember what Joe Boxer's reaction was.  When did he realize the bone was gone?

Move over Michelle, watch your backs, Carla and Sarah. There's a new kid on the first lady block, and she looks like upstaging the lot of you.

And if she had been elected, I thought she would do a better job than he would at actually governing, which we needed so much after 8 years of mismanagement.

Obama does not need to do this given his mandate, which he may well have already squandered.  

But I did invite this discussion so your comments on the subject are welcome.

My guess is that if she could have "rammed" health reform through Congress, it would have been a better overall package than anything Obama is likely to pass (if he can get something through). She would have demonstrated a lot more toughness with GOP & folks like Baucus.

My guess is also that she could not have gotten health care through this Congress. The attacks from the right would have started a lot sooner and would have been much more vicious. Major portions of the left hated her (and still do). Obama is only being mildly criticized by a portion of the progressive community.

I absolutely believe that single-payer would have been a big part of the conversation, with advocates not having to protest their exclusion from meetings and hearings, but being welcomed in.

I think there would have been serious consideration of Medicare for All that would begin with allowing younger age groups to buy in and transitioning to a true public, single-payer option.

One of the worst features of Bill Clinton's White House, which was mirrored in the Hillary Clinton campaign, was the total lack of message discipline.

Or, 1939
Poland has more troops, more tanks, more planes, more artillery
Germany runs over Poland in a week

Karate masters, when looking at young trainees, don't look for size, strength, or speed; they look for "the look."
Viet Nam had "the look"
Germany had "the look"
Hillary has "the look"

How I long to hear her laughter/cackle, as the Republican smear machine mounts it's assault, while Hillary, missing not a beat, and with flawless cadence, flicks them off her shoulder like errant specks of dandruff.

I don't think, for example, that we'd see the banksters having a lot less power under any administration, so the fundamentals would be the same. Ditto the other elephant in the room, the empire, which would also be sucking as much of our blood as before.

That said, it's hard to see HRC outright dissing single payer advocates; we would likely have been in a better starting point on health care, because Hillary's mandate was universal from the get go; and her position on housing, HOLC, was and is far far better than Obama's bankster-friendly mortgage mod approach.

Also, when in doubt, vote the base, and it's clear from the demography that Hillary's portion of the Democratic base was and is far more likely to need a government that actually functions than Obama.

But it's all blood under the bridge, and there's every reason to think we'd have just as many [pounds forehead on desk] moments with an HRC administration, just different ones; after all, the current administration is filled with old hands from the Clinton era.
