		<description>I just read the article prior to reading your blog.  What is this, 1900?

If he&#039;s really &quot;concerned about hardship for children,&quot; he should only approve marriages in which he is 100% certain that:
1) the parents won&#039;t get divorced
2) the parents won&#039;t die
3) the children will never experience the following:
- death / loss
- loneliness
- suffering
- illness
- teasing

or really any other less-than-pleasant life experience that will cause the children to suffer from situations &quot;they didn&#039;t bring on themselves.&quot;

&lt;i&gt;Obviously&lt;/i&gt; no one in history has ever become a more dynamic individual on account of being different than the norm.  &lt;i&gt;Obviously&lt;/i&gt; history changers have been people from perfect homes, with a white picket fence, Mom in the kitchen, Dad at work, and have worn grooves in their pew at church.  I mean, &lt;i&gt;obviously&lt;/i&gt; people who  &quot;have overcome challenges, difficulty or adversity&quot; are  crippled, incapable individuals who spend their lives in failure.  &lt;i&gt;Obviously.&lt;/i&gt;

He&#039;s &quot;not racist,&quot; he &quot;lets black people use his stuff,&quot; [as if that means he&#039;s racially reconciled!] but clearly he&#039;s unwilling to let the line between races get blurred or even broken.  It seems he prefers to keep black things black, and white things white.  That&#039;s a more subtle version of racism, is it not?</description>

		<description>Good post. And hey, you&#039;re supposed to dig &quot;too deep.&quot; You&#039;re an English major. :-P

I love &quot;All the Above.&quot; I&#039;ve been listening to it as I study for finals.

I think when you start living in Modesto again, we should hang out sometimes.</description>
