Oz Here is a new movie about intelligent design soon to be out in February. The more I thought about this situation, the more I wondered why we tolerate free speech in every other area of this society, but not here. What makes this situation so different? In my experience, people who are confident in […]

Hi Oz! Perhaps you’ve heard in my own backyard of Annapolis, we are hosting Mideast Peace Talks! It’s easy to be skeptical, but even easier, as while the talks will be going on, Iran just announced it has produced a new missile that has a range of 1,200 miles, an easy reach to Israel and […]

Oz, surely you know the Christmas Song suggested in the title? 🙂 Apparently, San Francisco is considering banning fireplaces. To me, that sounds a little extreme. To ban our most primitive form of light and warmth while industry continues on, merrily polluting away (but offset by carbon credits) is plain wrong. My guess is, the […]

Hi Oz, did you hear this one? “NYU students said they’d take in exchange for their right to vote an iPod Touch in the next presidential election, a recent survey by an NYU journalism class found. Only 20 percent said they’d exchange their vote for an iPod touch.” That’s a worry that young college people […]

Hi Oz We both know what a music fan I am, but we also know that we have realistic views of the ‘stars’ behind the music. Basically they are arrogant, spoiled brats. I don’t think age and experience softens them too much either. Take the recent story about former Eurythmics member, Annie Lennox. She was […]
