What do they know?
What do they know?
It's a question asked many times, many ways through my life, sometimes to dismiss others and the gap of knowledge that's been revealed. "Well, who are they? What do they know?" The implication is there's a gap about what they understand....

In 1990, I moved across country to live with a guy I had known for 4 months. It was all very impulsive and Thelma-and-Louise--committed, as I was at the time, to giving “Existential Crises” a real shot-- but it wasn’t meant to be. And the heads-up that it would eventually go south came...

Here’s what I was wondering, watching the debates, as Romney betrayed every position and promise he made to the GOP base in the most blatant, insincere attempt at political whitewashing in modern electoral history:

Another warm, sunny day (for January), but I was not feeling well after yesterday's MRI. Not that the procedure should have bothered me. Perhaps, it is the fact that, since our Lasko space heater has gone on the blink, I am actually using the radiator in the apartment -- after about...

What is the fuss about? A porn star enters a reality show as a contestant and even the so-called feminists start grunting. Who are we to judge someone in such a narrow manner when being in adult films is only one part of her? Sunny Leone is of Indian origin and works in the adult film...

It’s considered a little uncool these days to call out hypocrisy. The general idea is that leaders are expected to lie, and just as fish gotta swim and birds gotta fly, officials gotta claim high purpose to cover low deeds. In many circles, the exposure of faux principles is more likely to be...

John Lennon. The "Peace Activist" who supported murderers.
In this world there are good people and bad people. There are those who will go out and sacrifice themselves for a cause, people like Gandhi, who almost starved himself to death in protest at the sectarian violence that swept India at the...
