		<description><![CDATA[My last post, about racism and confronting it within ourselves, generated a lot of argument here on the blog as well as amongst my Facebook friends. This one is not so heavy. I want to write about some of the awesome and amazing things I’ve learned from my two little monsters. So here goes: Ten [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Race in America. Black and white. Christians and Muslims. Gays and straights. Rich and poor. We live in a society where we draw dividing lines based on all manner of arbitrary classifications. For most average middle class whites, we probably don’t even think about it at all, until suddenly something hits us in the face. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned in a blog post a couple weeks ago (about being a teenager in love) that I’ve been reading quite a bit of young adult fiction recently. I started initially because I was having a great deal of trouble getting into the heads of two of the characters in Insurgent. In the end, however, [...]]]></description>

Whatever you think of Congress, it’s a fact that at one time there was a significant middle in Congress that worked together to get stuff done.&#160; Increasingly though, our [...]]]></description>

We charged across Iraq and killed everything in our goddamn path, we left a trail of burning vehicles and broken bodies hundreds of miles long. If it moved, then it was the enemy, and we killed our fair share of civilians too. And you people sat back here and [...]]]></description>

To be specific, about identifying what are the most frequent causes of fights in our house, which are sometimes too stressful and upsetting for all of us. Basically it comes down to two things: homework, and chores. When I was a [...]]]></description>

I get intensely productive: deeply involved in work, in personal projects, in writing, various side businesses, and have bursts of intense energy where I’m doing lots and lots of stuff. I have a hard time saying no, and [...]]]></description>
