Tonight's guests are Emma Stone on The Daily Show and Steven Wise on The Colbert Report.
Emma Stone is an actress. She appears to be on to promote Woody Allen's latest movie Magic in the Moonlight
Given the supernatural aspect on the new movie she has been sharing her expieriences with the supernatural
n the film, Stone plays a spiritualist who claims she can communicate with the dead. So when Letterman asked if she’s ever had a real-life supernatural experience, Stone told him “there’s a long family history with quarters.”
“My grandfather leaves quarters,” she continued. “It’s just amazing. It’s him. It’s absolutely him.”
“This is your late grandfather. And you find a quarter, ‘Oh, I bet that’s from granddad?’” Letterman said.
“Yes,” Stone replied. “Who I never met! But it’s exactly like that.”
Emma Stone says her dead grandfather haunts her, leaves her quarters
Steven M. Wise (born 1952) is an American legal scholar who specializes in animal protection issues, primatology, and animal intelligence. He teaches animal rights law at Harvard Law School, Vermont Law School, John Marshall Law School, Lewis & Clark Law School, and Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. He is a former president of the Animal Legal Defense Fund, and founder and president of the Nonhuman Rights Project.
It sounds like we will be discussing animal rights.
The Nonhuman Rights Project is the only organization working toward actual LEGAL rights for members of species other than our own. Our mission is to change the common law status of at least some nonhuman animals from mere “things,” which lack the capacity to possess any legal right, to “persons,” who possess such fundamental rights as bodily integrity and bodily liberty, and those other legal rights to which evolving standards of morality, scientific discovery, and human experience entitle them.

It should be interesting, in college since most of us were science majors in a philosophy class, the professor decided to focus on animal rights. It led to some very good discussions.
