ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of things one can do in the amount of time it would take to write hate mail to Miley Cyrus. The list is long, and all of the items on it are much more fun/productive/sane...
I read a piece today about the political culture wars. It talked about various surveys indicating that Catholics and lots of other religious people are not necessarily opposed to contraception, gay marriage, etc. Rather, the leaders and political pundits are. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteNow I can't remember where I read it, either a NYT opinion piece or perhaps even CNN.
