Kansei, a robot who makes faces when he hears certain words, reacts with “fear and disgust” when he hears the word “President”. He associates that word with Bush and Bush with Iraq. Just imagine if he knew about Katrina and everything else.

Fascinating story but a sad commentary that these will be the companions of the elderly in nursing homes. Then again,this may be a big improvement on the relatives. I still think the ice flow is the best option . That’s where my folks are going.

It is a sad commentary. Why should they get all the cool robots? Most of them can’t even set the time on their VCRs.
