I don’t have any interest in starting a political movement. I just want to live life and be left alone as long as I’m peaceful with others. I’m trying to figure out how to do that. If you’re interested in doing the same — and if you want to do it without the shrill and angry confrontations of politics — I hope you’ll join me in a conversation that might lead to better lives for all of us.
My own political evolution is a long and twisting story. I grew up in a generally conservative household, but I was taught to be a political independent. I also learned — from school and from my own reading — to be an intensely patriotic kid. I believed in our political leaders. I believed in the political system. I believed in the morality of this country’s role in the world.
Romantic love is part obsession, part reality — and part madness
Do you believe you’re free? Slavery by any other name is still slavery
If Court reverses Roe v. Wade, we’re facing a social tsunami
Love is best thing to happen to us
When we don’t feel understood, we feel lonely even in a crowd
Lesson for McCain’s ’08 voters: The lesser of two evils is still evil
A month after my father’s death, it doesn’t feel real that he’s gone
Goodbye, Emily (2009-2015)
