		<description><![CDATA[WTF?!?!?! Things are so far out of whack in this country. The Supreme Court, stacked with ultra-conservative justices from the Bush era, has just ruled to remove restrictions that limited corporate financing of political candidates based on a corporation&#8217;s right to free speech.

I am in California, in Silicon Valley, and we are just now starting to feel the belt-tightening. Talk of lay-offs is spreading. Life is feeling a little ominous right [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t discuss marriage without hearing the voice of the bishop from Princess Bride saying, &#8220;&#8230;MAWAGE.&#8221; In this case, the case of the Supreme Court of California in essence validating gay marriage, I think any bishop would&#8217;ve flopped over dead! But there are two important thoughts about this verdict that I can&#8217;t separate. One is [...]]]></description>

The issue is whether or not to let your kids roam free and unsupervised, and if so, when and where and how much?
