Appearing in Seen Elsewhere
And then there are long periods of time where your blog will take an unfortunate back seat to your “other” life: a family vacation, the Thanksgiving holiday, and the escapable duo of paying work and domestic duties. Throughout these times however, you will still often find time to read, bookmark, and recommend various periodicals and news reports.
To wit, I offer the following in lieu of my own particular intellectual capital — more of which will soon be forthcoming.
- Holy Matrimony, What’s really undermining the sanctity of marriage?
- Dahlia Lithwick writes in Slate, “…if you really believe gay marriage will have some vast corrosive, viral impact on marriage as a whole—here’s a brief list of other laws and policies far more dangerous to the institution.”
- The end of the west
- By Martin Jacquest in The Guardian, “Europe is no longer the centre of the world - the future belongs to the might of Asia.”
- Crimes Against Nature
- In Rolling Stone, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. writes, “Cloaked in meticulously crafted language designed to deceive the public, the administration intends to eliminate the nation’s most important environmental laws by the end of the year.”
- Conservatism, Um, Evolving
- Conservative commentator George Will writes in Newsweek, “House and Senate Republicans must assume they will never again be in the minority and vulnerable to payback. They are mistaken.”
- Rich ‘must pay to save nature’
- In the BBC News World Edition, environmental correspondent Alex Kirby quotes Alistair Gammell, “It’s immoral and impractical to expect the poor to pay for conservation, and it isn’t going to happen. So it’s bad for conservation, and for poverty reduction as well.”
