When exactly do you say "I love you" in a budding relationship? Answer:
When dLove/dt = zero.
At the risk of being too cute by half, I have to mark this at 50%. The correct equilibrium answer is dLove/dSex = dSex/dt. Good enough to get into a Puritanical Harvard, though, with that essay ... Of course, Lotharios will want "I love you" just in case dSex/dt > 1 | t=now to ... humm... "confidence date".
Re: Bribes For Good Government
Technically, such things are not "bribes". In the lingo, they are known as "grease". This I know from economists who have been to such openly corrupt places such as Nigeria, who have ranked among the lowest in most World Surveys.
In Our Christianist Moment, the astute Hanna Rosin asks
Does this [Bill Jones for Romney] represent progress and political sophistication?
Clearly a lack of sophistication. The man will say literally anything to get elected. Yet, they believe him. Beware of those with forked tongues ... (figuratively, not literally).
