Well, Amos, Skinner wasn't all wrong... Beneath our complex (at least compared to rats) there are some more primitive aspects to our behaviors... One thing that Skinner observed in rats that I think is also found in man is that the closer one is to reward the more "excitement" there is to our behavior... I mean, at a very basic level, from sex to winning a game, I think that is true... That does make some human behaviors similar to that of rats... With that said, I think the human behavior kinda takes a nose-dive from there and the rats behavior makes alot more sense... Take George Bush, fir instance...

Think I'll just leave it right there... *grin*...
