I happened to scroll down the page of my preferred weather site, wunderground.com, and saw this bit of hopeful news.in the Sports Weather section We’re still a few weeks away from the official start of spring, the day that the Red Sox equipment van leaves for Florida. Single-game tickets went on sale yesterday. (The first Yankee series is already sold out.) And even though the lawns in this part of the country are hard-packed with snow and ice, we can start to think ahead to the verdant months ahead.

According to people who know us better than we know our selves, we can’t have more than about 150 friends. Robin Dunbar, professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at Oxford University, has conducted research revealing that while social networking sites allow us to maintain more relationships, the number of meaningful friendships is the same as it has been throughout history. Dunbar developed a theory known as “Dunbar’s number” in the 1990s which claimed that the size of our neocortex — the part of the brain used for conscious thought and language — limits us to managing social circles of around 150 friends, no matter how sociable we are.

There’s a lot of discussion regarding Citizens United V. Federal Election Commission (link to SCOTUS decision ), discussion by people are alternately smart, ideologically-blinded by rage, bewitched, bothered, and bemildred. So, just two quick observations based on a quick read of the decision itself (all 183 pages), a good summary on the Wall Street Journal site, Court Rolls Back Campaign Spending Limits – WSJ.com , and some other sources.
