lol!

John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.
It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.
He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.
Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie this guy would be buried in the credits as something like “Second Tall Man.”
The knife was as sharp as the tone used by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.) in her first several points of parliamentary procedure made to Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.) in the House Judiciary Committee hearings on the impeachment of President William Jefferson Clinton. |

These ones are actually quite brilliant imho:
Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t. |

It has!?
We know for a fact that "paleo-language" is not unlike contemporary language except, of course, for the culture (which affects pretty much just the lexicon), unless you're talking about pre-homo-Sapiens... then it's all game.
Unless I'm missing some insight here, "paleo-governments" aren't so different from ours either: to my knowledge, hunter-gatherer societies are quite democratic and class-free, whereas farmers (a later development) introduced more class distinctions which aren't all that uncommon in mammalian history either.
I can't imagine what paleo-education could be like, so I'm skipping this one. |

Then it's not like we've evolved to deal with anything much different than that. Add a script to substitute most of the "hands-on" approach and, voila, insta-education out of paleo-education :p
The native Brazilians I know still do those things. It's quite awesome that some tribes in the Amazon work like "universities": You go to a tribe to master, let's say, pottery; then you spend some time in another tribe to learn how to hunt with bow an arrow with the best hunters in the area, and so on... |

If my university had offered that I totally would have joined those courses.

ANd among all those different tribes you chose to stick with the bearded smelly hippies that do nothing but babble about the other tribes battle cries all day while being unable to even hunt some meat for themselves.  |

The other tribes are frustrating. No para-para available where they live.

caught.
i mean all i am trying to say is that paleo-er isn't necessarily 'better' - i think maybe while/if we haven't evolved in certain gastrointestinal ways, we have supplanted or supplemented our evolution with a layer of technological adaptation that sustains us in other ways. |
