Who Needs Government For Private Life?
"WHY do people — gay or straight — need the state’s permission to marry? For most of Western history, they didn’t, because marriage was a private contract between two families. The parents’ agreement to the match, not the approval of church or state, was what confirmed its validity."

$hamele$$ly A$king For Your $upport
I am participating in the 2007 Thanksgiving Day Trot for Hunger to help raise awareness about hunger and homelessness and to raise funds for programs that provide meals, medical care and other supportive services for the poor and homeless in our community.
Please join me in supporting this important cause by making a tax-deductible contribution in my name or by registering to participate in this year's Trot for Hunger. Your support makes a world of difference in the life of a child or adult in need. Thank you!

One Laptop Per Child
Well, I've considered both sides of the good and the bad in a program like the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) program.
Thinking that the negatives are really an issue of how this won't work or will distract from the basics is a failure to consider that any involvement leaves people with potential. Potential failure, perhaps. Potential success? We will see. I'm willing to support such an experiment. To see if such an effort makes things possible.
On a personal note, I'm also anxious to see how accessible these things are from an end-user perspective. Perhaps also be able to contribute to the ability for children with disabilities to use the same technologies, in the same places as other children.
