		<description><![CDATA[Here is some rampant, unsupported speculation: Maybe there&#8217;s some kind of case to be made for brain lateralization as a metaphor for gender abilities/roles/specializations/uniquestuffs. You know, say that one side was like &#8220;male&#8221; and the other was like &#8220;female.&#8221; No, seriously; dig it: Specialization obviously occurs. There&#8217;s some nature going on, but obviously some nurture, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a habit of trying to point out logical problems in ideas by suggesting counterexamples. I know proof by analogy isn&#8217;t ultimately very valuable, and I know not everything can be demonstrated (or disproved) by examples, but it still seems valid at least as a way of illustrating &#8212; in ways people can understand [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been having some odd thoughts about de facto succession of leadership and participation in the church.

		<description><![CDATA[Dan Savage&#8217;s column has always been a sometimes-entertaining example of pandering to one&#8217;s audience and earning revenue through controversy. Now, however, Savage seems to have made the leap from occasionally funny sexual entertainment shockster to ideological Doberman. Sure, his narrow-minded bias is employed for only the best of motivations, but isn&#8217;t that always the case? [...]]]></description>

Yes, talking about percentages and rates and proportions and whatnot can often increase clarity with complex data, but sometimes these are also used to conceal or distort some aspect of the information. I decided to make my own graph of 2008 incomes by [...]]]></description>

I found The Left Hand of Darkness to be thought-provoking and well done, and (of course) the entire Earthsea series was brilliant. I finally made it through The Dispossessed, and am of two distinct minds about it. Mind 1: Her prose is, as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Look, I argue about Arizona&#8217;s immigration law, and about people&#8217;s response to illegal immigration in general, but it&#8217;s not because (as the rabid anti-immigrant crowd is wont to insist when anyone doesn&#8217;t toe their particular line) I think illegal immigration is laudable. Of course it&#8217;s not. It is, however, a question of costs, benefits, and [...]]]></description>
