Why Do People Respond to High Profile New Coverage on Poverty …
But help comes case by case from folks who still believe in stereotypes? Point in case. 60 Minutes did a pretty intense investigation on children of families living in their cars in Central Florida. More than 16 million children are now living in poverty and, for many of them, a proper home is elusive. Some […]
Its Hard To Be a Gay
Dear Lord … try reading this story from the Post-Gazette about the battle between a dead woman’s wife and her parents for $41,000. It is like a Law & Order/Harry’s Law mashup, with a heavy dose of Vatican Court thrown in for good measure. This is where the battle over DOMA takes us … into […]

Anti-Discrimination Protections in Whitemarsh Township

Springfield and Lower Merion also recently enacted such ordinances for the protections of their residents’ rights to housing, employment and public accomodation. I believe that brings the statewide total up to 18 municipalities? Here’s a […]
What Does the Sexual Assault at Penn State Mean For Me?
Like you, I was and continue to be horrified by the revelations of the sexual abuse of minor boys and the apparent cover-up (or fail to act?) on the part of pretty much anyone with power and authority at Penn State. It has been all over the media, as you know. It is inescapable and […]
