The point of the article is that these are not things that are  
necessarily disturbing to individuals, but the ones that have  
disturbed the status quo in society's thinking.

Alan,
 Thanks I enjoyed reading these and would have missed them if you  
hadn't
posted this. But as one very familiar with the Smithsonian I would  
remind
folks that The "Smithsonian is a magazine not a peer-reviewed  
journal, Ms.
Helmuth is not a scientist but a columnist and the editorial board  
has its
own political drum to beat which it does diligently. Nevertheless, a  
fun
read

I'm sorry John, forgive me, I thought the title did that adequately?
 Each individual on the list will have a different opinion of whether  
they
are disturbing or not. I simply found it fascinating and thought  
others
would too, the title of the article was by the author and not me.
 I try and limit the length of my posts to avoid recipients having to  
read
too much when the link target covers it (we've all got too much else  
to read
each day). Can't see how any more of my comments on this one would  
have
helped;-)
Best
Alan
