Not to mention the A.D.H.D., the obesity, the lack of creative thought factors.

Art imitates life and research imitates common sense, it seems. A new study has found that the more young people watch television, the poorer their relationships with both their friends and parents. Read more…
I am often told that we must redefine marriage to be the union of any two persons, in order to protect the interests of the children of same sex couples. Putting aside the important question of how a same sex couple acquires a child in the first place, my answer has always been that domestic partnership law accomplishes the goal. Here is a case that proves the point:
In a case that reached the U.S. Supreme Court, a Bay Area woman has won the right to parental status and visits with the daughter of her former lesbian partner, who moved out when the girl was 3 months old….
The women had lived together for nearly five years and were registered domestic partners when Kristina gave birth to Amalia by artificial insemination Read more…

I appreciate the author’s attitude on how ridiculous this is. Since when is it okay to usurp parental authority over a ten-year-old and teach them the “pleasures of sex”? When was sex ever a good thing for any child? Please, let’s teach children NOT to have any self-control. Let’s tell them to sneak around their parents so they can “do it,” get STDs to share with others, get pregnant, and have more abortions all for the sake of sexual pleasure. Fantastic idea, Planned Parenthood. Way to help them become responsible, healthy, well-adjusted adults. And I’m sure all parents would love their kids to start having sex as soon as possible. Get real!
Idiots.

Such a nice article. I did see the Superbowl, as I’m sure many of you did too. The very end when winning quarterback Drew Brees held up his son was truly the highlight. Seeing a picture of it even now brings tears to my eyes. This article is a great perspective on the significance of that moment.
The poster says, “Life. Better than lifting the Lombardi.”

A US judge granted political asylum to a German homeschooling family that is in danger of losing their children to the state.
Immigration Judge Lawrence O. Burman, of Memphis, Tennessee, said: “We can’t expect every country to follow our constitution. The world might be a better place if it did. However, the rights being violated here are basic human rights that no country has a right to violate.” He observed: “Homeschoolers are a particular social group that the German government is trying to suppress. This family has a well-founded fear of persecution… therefore, they are eligible for asylum…” Read more…
