Then, raising your kids, and watching them grow, gives maximal fulfillment.

I'm also applying for my PhD in political science beginning next fall.<BR/><BR/>This term, I'm taking a course in quantitative research methods and my chosen research topic is political bloggers and their goals/intentions, processes, inspirations, etc. I'm focusing on blogs NOT associated with a traditional media source or with an organization/politician/party. This way, I can examine why every day Americans initiate, participate, contribute, and comment on political blogs.<BR/><BR/>I would love to interview you to talk about your opinions and views about the role of the political blog in contemporary political discourse. If you know of others that would be willing to take part in my study, I'd appreciate that information as well. Answering my questions shouldn't take more than a few minutes.<BR/><BR/>Please feel free to contact me at BrianRF@gmail.com if you're at all interested. Thanks very much!<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>BrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421975.post-85105647563777061372007-02-06T01:50:00.000-06:002007-02-06T01:50:00.000-06:00Nothing being wrong with being "left wing" and "ri...Nothing being wrong with being "left wing" and "right wing" at the same time. Unless things are more different than I realise that side of the pond, the "wings" really refer to forms of government - primarily economics.<br /><br />I guess that traditionally people toward the right in the forms of government that they like have been non-environmentalist and pro-abortion and those to the left the opposite... but I don't see any reason that this has to be, and I don't see too many reasons not to be environmentalist and anti-abortion (although you might have to view ecology as something magical and sacred rather than an evolved system to merge these views).<br /><br />But that's fairly obvious I guess.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08867904325666278199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421975.post-58385984591794264012007-02-04T17:45:00.000-06:002007-02-04T17:45:00.000-06:00What Hedges doesn't realize is the the liberal Pro...What Hedges doesn't realize is the the liberal Protestantism that he learned at Harvard Divinity School -- watered-down Paul Tillich -- is at least as guilty as urban sprawl for the loss of a sense of mystery and ritual among Americans in the cities, as is evidenced by the breakdown of the Protestant Mainline over the last fifty years. And even though the mainline's done, their legacy continues in kitchy Masses, liturgies, and "worship centers" throughout the nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
