Just as an athletic team performs better when all players work together as a team rather than as individual stars and benchwarmers, communities and societies perform better when everyone recognizes a shared responsibility for success. People who recognize this are less likely to blame problems on the shortcomings of individuals, more likely to search for the underlying sources of problems, and therefore more likely to find long-term solutions to problems.

Men and women ARE different, and how we interact with the opposite sex is significant, and depicted about how we view our roles in society. I just had an interesting conversation with two 20-something women* about male/female dynamics in budding relationships. Laney's been married one year, Mona's been dating a guy for one month, and me, married for 5 years. Read More »

Everything you know about Columbine is wrong

If you've had an eye on the news the past week, you'd know that today is the 10th Anniversary of the Columbine shooting. For those reading who might not be old enough to remember (wow, that's a hell of a thought for me), April 20, 1999 was the day that two students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, went into their school with the intent of killing more people than Timothy McVeigh killed at the Oklahoma City bombing. What ended up happening was a school shooting that was covered so quickly by the media that it essentially turned into a circus of badly reported news. As a result, all the "facts" known about Columbine couldn't be farther from the truth, and after ten years, people are just now seeing the real facts.
They were bullied? They were part of the Trench Coat Mafia? They listened to Marilyn Manson? Yes, everything you think you know about Columbine is wrong. Read More »

By waitingformysunshine - Posted on April 19th, 2009
I am getting married in three months and will be 20 years old on my wedding day. My parents raised me to believe that marriages would only work if you waited until at least 25 to be married...and in their case, that probably was the decision that was best. What frustrates me the most is that it is assumed that their way is the ONLY way. Read More »
