MisterBurke:

The '''naked mole rat''' is a burrowing [[rodent]] most known for its peculiar [[adaptation]]s to living underground. These include limited vision, the loss of most hair, and dominant female and infertile worker females which defer to the dominant female's every need. The dominant female also has sons which compete for mating access to their mother all of this makes the naked mole rats [[eusocial]] like bees, ants and wasps. They are the only [[mammal]]s to have been intelligently designed with this strategy. When the dominant female dies the worker females compete for dominance and when one wins they go through a hormonal change that allows them to reproduce while the other workers stay infertile. The largest domestic collection of mole rats is at the [[Rio Grande Zoo]] in [[Albuquerque]], [[New Mexico]].

Don't ask, don't tell

MisterBurke:

'''Don't ask, don't tell''' (Pub.L. 103-160 (10 U.S.C. § 654)) is the common name given to the military policy adopted early in the first term of President [[Bill Clinton]] against allowing homosexual soldiers in the military (They must not bring up their orientation, however). It has been upheld in the court system against legal challenge.

The premise of the policy is that a gay person will not be dismissed from active duty if he does not bring up his sexuality. At the same time, the military is legally enjoined from "asking" about a soldier's sexuality, or (in the oft forgotten third part of the phrase, "don't pursue") to investigate rumors of a soldier's sexuality. However, if a soldier does "come out", or if, without investigation, evidence is found of a soldier's sexuality, that soldier can be and generally is dismissed from active duty. This policy also changed the dismissal from "Dishonorably discharged", to "Honorably discharged" or simply "discharged" as the situation warrants, depending on the merits of the soldier's service.

Its repeal has been called for during the [[2008 Presidential Campaign]] by both Senators [[Hillary Clinton]] and [[Barack Obama]] although [[John McCain]] supports its continued implementation.

If nobody has any objections, I am going to remove the phrase "Openly' from the article. Don't ask don't tell allows homosexuals in the military, but they may not be open about it (That would be the "'''Don't Tell''' clause). If anybody objects, please change it back.
