Another great article by Washington Post's Charles Krauthammer titled "Disproportionate' in What Moral Universe?". It is simply a must-read.
Today I visited Sydney's Taronga Zoo, which is beautifully located just a short ferry trip from the centre of Sydney. It has a great selection of Australian animals, and its location on the top of a hill provides for excellent views of Sydney harbour.
On a separate note, while in Sydney I managed to read through most of "The Book Nobody Read: Chasing the Revolutions of Nicolaus Copernicus", a fairly boring book about a historian searching for all the remaining copies of Nicolaus Copernicus' famous masterpiece. While I enjoy reading history books, this one was a bit too narrow for my taste. Since I picked it up at Narita airport prior to leaving Tokyo, I had imagined the book would be fairly mainstream, but after having read it I believe the target audience must be someone who enjoys watching paint dry.
