Many feel implicated in the attacks carried out ostensibly in the name of their religion. Yet there is also anger - anger at the ignorance of some who view all Muslims as potential terrorists and, most bitter of all, at fellow Muslims who excuse or espouse terrorism. The London blasts exposed fault lines, not only between different ethnic identities but between generations and economic classes. In an effort to find a common...
...Muslims. They're trying to get out a message because they're suffering so much and no one is listening. And that's why [the bombers] probably thought, 'We've got no other way to get our message across.' Ordinary people just got caught up." But Hussain knows that anger isn't the answer.

(Actually, Panksepp discovered a few years ago that rats chirp in laughter, albeit in response to tickling, and in a register too high for the human ear to detect.) Nobody has yet found the neurocircuits for ethics or morality, however, so Panksepp is reluctant to comment about those qualities...
Will another people power uprising in the Philippines topple beleaguered President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo? No. The political configuration just isn't right. There is anger but no infectious outrage. There is serious disappointment but no viable alternative leader. There is a lot of political heat but not enough to bring things to a boil...
