“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of [...]

Half Sigma explains why he is not a liberal:
I am not a liberal because liberals are ruled by guilt. This is why liberals seldom care much about the middle class. Liberals only want to help the poor. Liberals think that the middle class in the United States has it so much better than the rest [...]

Kathy Sierra gives an excellent rationale for not sticking around angry or negative people and as Instapundit says, that includes nasty blog comments as well. I do my share of staying off blogs or other media that I consider repugnant and in [...]

The intergeneration gap can be quite a bitch. I got a healthy dose when my parents visited me over the past week. On one side is that anecdote everyone likes to cite where the character is embarrassed by how less his parents know when he is an adolescent and then wonders how much they learnt [...]
