Our Superheroes
None of us likes to be pushed around. None of us likes to be called, “weak.” Everybody likes to have power, likes to have control. The problem is that most of us, the ones with working cerebellums, realize that we can never have complete control.

The Supreme Court and My Son
Today, the Supreme Court told the world that parents can prevent their children from learning about the lifestyle of my son. My son is not a cannibal. My son is not pederast.

A New Job?
