A Communitarian’s View
Updated: added Additional Resources at end of post I’ve been engaged in a running conversation on Facebook with friends who don’t support the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. We also wandered into the cost of other government-provided benefits like SNAP (food stamps) and mobile phones. It’s hard to cover all my points and supporting documentation in a Facebook conversation, so I’m expanding it to this space. First, in defining myself as a communitarian, I’m trying to establish a foothold outside the usual liberal/conservative terminology. While my political views are decidedly liberal, I’m comfortable with certain conservative viewpoints as well. Ultimately,... Continue reading

Do As I Say, Not As I Do
The very purpose of spirituality is self-discipline. Rather than criticizing others, we should evaluate and criticize ourselves. Ask yourself, what am I doing about my anger, my attachment, my pride, my jealousy? These are the things we should check in our day to day lives. -- Dalai Lama Bullying has been in the news a lot lately. All over the country, every day, you’ll find news reports of its sometimes tragic aftermath and efforts to stop it. We feel outrage and ask why this is happening. We blame the kids, we blame the parents, we blame the schools, we blame... Continue reading

A Poignant Lesson on Attachment and Loss
This past Monday, I left my bracelet in the locker at my gym. Taking it off in the first place was a hard habit to get into; I never remove it except when I must -- my few hospital stays, airport security checkpoints and now, when I swim. But that day I left it behind when I gathered my things. I realized it was missing about an hour after I got home, and rushed back to retrieve it. It was gone: whoever found it did not turn it in, nor has it shown up in the days since. There’s a... Continue reading

I'll probably return to the new one, but a post I'd been working on in the old design had an embedded video. Something happened, and it's not showing up in the new design. SO I'm going to fix it in the old version and see what happens.
