		<description><![CDATA[Have you seen  this &#8220;article&#8221; on the Yahoo! front page? http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/sex/10-things-husbands-should-never-do-552285/?zing It was pointed out to me earlier this week, and though I thought there were some good points (e.g., the silliness of caring for one&#8217;s own children being called &#8220;babysitting&#8221;), the article annoyed me. Its tone is bellicose, critical, and patronizing. The author plays [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Map of Kurdish-Occupied Areas (Map ganked from TheKurds.net) I have no degrees in history, political science or comparative religion. I have no diplomatic or military experience. I do, however, sometimes think relatively logically, and I try to check my sources most of the time. Therefore, in matters of Resolving Intractable International Problems, I feel I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So some hackers hacked some scientists&#8217; email accounts and found that science is messy. The scientists can be petty, personal, wounded, angry, and are not always nice people. The science in question is the hot (heh heh) topic of human influence on global warming. Those who done the hacking, or at least done profited from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Contradictions &#8212; even (or especially) my own &#8212; bug me. The congresspersons opposing a government-run option in the currently-proposed healthcare reform plan are all beneficiaries of a lavish single-payer healthcare plan funded at taxpayer expense. Al Gore&#8217;s monster mansion and constant airline flights continue to create, like, a thousand Pakistani peasants&#8217; worth of carbon emissions. [...]]]></description>

However, I must tell you how much I appreciate what you do for me. Day after day, there you are: protecting my tender bits and raw bones [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post is a response to Laine&#8217;s thoughtful post/essay on some of the issues involved in the &#8220;gay marriage&#8221; debate(s). She was interested in a religious person&#8217;s POV, and I figured I fit the bill. It&#8217;s a monstrous response, and didn&#8217;t fit in LiveJournal&#8217;s character limit. So, after the cut, the whole way-large response. Hey, [...]]]></description>

It has given me much to think about, and of course I&#8217;m going to share. Baumeister starts by noting the obvious: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re all afraid of the political middle, or so it seems when I look at what passes for political dialogue out there in the blogosphere and on TV. We sometimes want to be able to claim centrism, but most of us don&#8217;t have much centrism in our dialogue. Here&#8217;s a hypothesis about why this might [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just read a thought-provoking opinion piece by Harold Myerson, about U.S. businesses systematically pulling their investments out of westernizing nations like China, and committing to countries like Vietnam, which still have communist economic systems, no unions, no labor laws, low wages, and economic predictability. Communism (in other countries) is good for (our) business. Mr. [...]]]></description>
