Thought for the day       by TM S. Suzuki

I heard about some interesting research at a lecture.
The experiment is to compare male mice that have children .
There are 2 types of mice, A type and B type.
The A type is a good husband.
He takes care of his children very well.
The B type is a bad husband. He is inconsistent and unreliable.
He has many girl friends and does not take care of his children well.
However, once the researcher injects a drug into the B type husband,
he begins to take care of his children much better than before.
I can see that a bad father might be missing one chemical component.

But don�ft forget, this experiment is only about mice, not human beings
yet.
